Squisssshhhhhh

In a fit of enthusiasm to finish the job of 'joojjing up' my sitting room, I recently found myself sitting at my crafting station (dining room table) surrounded by fabric, scissors, bits of thread and various other sewing-related paraphernalia:

A bit of jiggery-pokery later, and I had a new cushion for my sofa.  What do you think?

The spotty fabric is an off-cut from my mum, the buttons were knocking about in my button tin, and the ribbon and animal fabric are both vintage delights that my granny gave me on my recent trip to Dorset.  Thanks gran!  The animal fabric was, in fact, a lampshade (natch) and it does have a seam down the middle of it, but I love it so much I just had to use it.

I am leaning against it as I type this and I can confirm that it is, indeed, very pleasingly squishy - just as a cushion should be.
Before I go, I need to say a big 'thank you' to Faith who recently awarded me theVersatile Blogger award. Faith has a lovely, funny blog that always makes me smile.  And yes, Faith, I think it would be a brilliant idea for you to open your posh cake shop next to my dreamy yarn shop - I think that would, in fact, be a match made in heaven.  (I need to point out here that the Wiggly Willow thing is a joint venture with Cuckoo, but I am more than sure that she would approve of the yarn shop/cake shop scenario.)  And, while I'm on the subject, of course you could have a part-time job Jo - I would require you to bring in cupcakes on a regular basis though.

I know at this point I am supposed to do my interesting facts, but frankly, I've run out of them - I'm terribly boring in real life.  I am planning to do a 'seven things on my wishlist' post imminently though, in lieu of interesting-ness. x
