And despite the fact that 1/3 of the way through the whole project I thought, “You know, somebody out there does this way better than you. Find that person!” I am actually happy with the pillows.
I had to take the picture quick - the dogs have already sprung a deep affection for sleeping on goose feathers.
I also learned a valuable sewing lesson. Do not combine plaid pillow construction with [variable] glasses of red wine. You need your wits about you.

Welcome to the somewhat decorative blog! It's all about cooking, gardening, design and DIY in, out and around our 150+ year old cottage in New Orleans. Since the house always has something going on with it (or falling off of it) I'm blessed with a never-ending supply of Web content to share. Have fun!

I think these look fantastic but I must disagree and state that the only way to sew is with a glass of red wine!
Your pillows look wonderful. Great color combination with the brown couch.
They look perfect to me!

They look wonderful. Not fair that you can renovate, decorate and sew.
Your pillows are gorgeous, the colors yummy!
gee, I wish I were a dog at your house.

My problem is drinking and cooking. Leads to limpy asparagus and overcooked fish.
Nate, I’m smitten with that red fabric and I adore the chocolate crimson combo. Most excellent style my dear !
