I'm so impressed, great job Mandy! your cushions are lovely and the colors just perfect.<br /><br />I love to sew by hand too even more than the machine (it's the quiet meditative nature of it I think) besides it's just so gratifying.

Purple was always my favourite colour as a child and yet I cannot remember having anything purple. The sofa looks so inviting and comfy. Hope you have a lovely week Domestic Goddess.

And what an accomplishment to have made them yourself! I simply don't have that skill, or enough patience to get through any sewing project! Yes, I am excellent at knowing the "expert" at any particular skill, and hiring them to do the things I can't. :-D<br /><br />Dinner sounds lovely, but I don't think I'll get there in time.

He can tattoo himself from head to toe just so long as he stops screaming one day. I'm amazed you made so many cushions by hand. I'm better with the sewing machine but have also chosen to sew by hand and it's a lovely relaxing activity. Love hearing about the history of your precious things too xspeck of dusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11186894112123114159noreply@blogger.com
