Another fantastic swap!


I just received another amazing swap package! This is the stunning pillow I received in the Pillow Talk Swap. It was made for me by Marika {Live, Laugh, Love... Sew} and I'm so excited that it's come to live with me!


When I saw it pop up in the group poll my first thought was "Oh No! That's pretty similar to the one I'm making for my partner, but it's so much nicer!"


Haha! The lovely Marika did a fantastic job of stalking me and making the most beautiful pillow that just fits perfectly into my bedroom! I'm feeling very very lucky at the moment :)


Thankyou so Marika!!!

I haven't replied to all the lovely comments on my last post yet, I'm still catching up with myself. I've got a poorly boy off school today, and a puppy who is still stiff and sore after getting hit by a car at the start of the week. But I had to hop onto the computer to show off my beautiful new pillow! Now I better get back to my nursing duties!



Have a great weekend!

  1. Oh fab pillow and so nice that you received one as nice as the one you sent. Different, but as good. Hope both poorly ones are on the mend soon.

  2. I thought this was the cushion you were sending out when I saw the thumbnail! It is very, very pretty - looks fab on your bed (great quilt on there, too!)

    The boy hasn't got the tummy bug that's all the rage, has he? It's yukky and the kids round here are dropping like flies. And poor Murphy! Did you get one helluva fright? Pesky pets, why do we put ourselves through it? (one look at that last photo answers that! Bless.)

  9. What a wonderful pillow, and the one you gave away was lovely, too! I hope your boy and Murphy feel better soon - how scary for you re Murphy! My Abbie, also a Springer Spaniel, was hit by a car a while back but was not badly hurt - yikes!

  11. Poor Murphy! Is he okay? Of course, I'm concerned about the poorly bairn, as well *wink* he looks like he's enjoying that cuddle from Murphy though!
    I love your cushion, it's wonderful!

  12. I love the pillow, seriously love it. I might have to make one inspired by it. I am so glad you have received something so beautiful. Good luck with sick boy and puppy, my youngest has been home sick all week too, he has the same bug I do but the weekend is here soon.
