butterflies, polka dots and ruffles- oh my!

We have had the same pillows on our couch for a few years now and I was needing a change. I am not usually a butterfly kind of girl but when I saw Canyon Butterfly by Alexander Henry I decided maybe I will be a butterfly kinda girl. The orange polka dot pillow cover came from Target (only $4!!).

We also hung curtains recently (it's about time, we have lived in this house for almost 5 years!!)


On the other side of the room we have my most recent labor of love:

I saw this pillow on the Dear CJane blog and it has been floating around in my head for awhile. I was glad I chose to make it a small pillow it took a ton of circles to cover the whole thing. I also spent a lot more time then I usually do when making pillow covers. I do love it though, so it was worth it.

It looks fabulous...all of it!

I love the pillow you made with all the circles.
Can you tell me how you sewed them on. Is it random. Did you use fabric that won't ravel.

I have an e-mail attached to my blogger if you have a second to let me know,
I may try this. I have pillow form I haven't used and I've been waiting for the right inspiration. This pillow looks like a lot of fun.

so this is what occupied your time last night instead of our crafty Valentine's plans. They look lovely. And I love that we both have butterflies on our couch this winter. Bring on spring!

Your title had me - that, and I'm a sucker for pillows!

Love them all! Love the burst of orange color. And, in the wide shot I did not see butterflies at all. I saw the white space only. I was wondering what you were talking about until I scrolled down to the close-up.

Love the pillows!

Wow, love the pillow! Great job. Love the Target deal. There's nothing like the high that comes from getting something awesome at a great price! (Or watching it get marked down, and marked down... and scoring it really low.) ;)

Oh Erin I really like your navy circle pillow! It's so pretty. And I like the combo of your butterfly and dot pillows grouped together. I wouldn't have thought you to be a butterfly gal either but I actually think the butterfly fabric is pretty tasteful and nice.

I love it all, but the navy circles pillow is my favorite. Well done!

I love that pillow! It is so cute! Well all of them are, but esp the blue rufflys!

Jennifer said...

They're all so pretty but the navy one is my favorite! I am inspired to get my couch pillows "in order"
