Description
Handmade, handstitched keepsake pillow for your favorite person. Beautiful shades of light & hot pink s fabrics create this pillow's charm. Hand-sculpted & painted clay accoutrements. If the video had sound you would hear a lovely little crinkle when I squeeze the pillow. The large patches of fabric have paper hidden inside that add a crinkly extra special sensory delight. It's so satisfying to squish it! Spot cleaning recommended. Pillow is the perfect size for a shelf or bookcase or on that special person's favorite chair. Designed to be displayed & treasured for the sentimental, heartfelt message. Inspired by my love for colors & fabrics & the joy I feel when I discover a unique & beautiful combination. My favorite part of the process is selecting the next collection of fabrics & threads. Something about the varitey of polka-dots, patterns & colors fills me with inspiration. I also love the way the different stitches add quaint details & texture. Plus I am addicted to the sound of the thread when it slips through the fabric. I use a sewing machine to connect the front & back of the pillow cover, but all the rest of the stitching is done by my own 48 year-old hands! I am not a lifelong sewer or embroiderer so I do not have flawless stitches or technique. I can only claim to be a lifelong crafter & lover of colors & cute creations. I promise that each pillow was made happily & with the hope that someone else might feel the same pleasure that I put into each tiny stitch & pack in along with the stuffing. It takes me at least a full work day to create one of these hand-stitched pillows. Part of the time is selecting the thread colors & fabrics, arranging the design & all the finishing touches. Of course the hand-embroidering is the most time-consuming part, but it is also my favorite because I never know how it's going to look until all pieces are stitched together. It's always a surprise & sometimes I have to redo a section that doesn't turn out the way I anticipated. After I've taken 30 minutes to outline something with little brown x's I realize the x's simply MUST be pale pink & so off I go to change them. ;) Ultimately, I work until the pillow makes me happy & I learn something new with each one I complete. I just wish I could learn not to poke my fingers with the needle. I am something of a wizard at piercing the one digit that doesn't have a thimble on it. & I go mad when the thread weasels itself into a knot over & over & over again. It must be the bane of embroiderers' everywhere. Or else they've figured out some magic I have yet to learn. :) Sugar Makes Me Happy is something my Mom said when we were brainstorming names for my Etsy page. Something about the sound of it seemed instantly perfect & captured the childlike magic of a candy store & the most purely joyful moments of life. Sugar does make me happy but not nearly as happy as the people I love & the joy I feel when I create. My mind is most at ease when my hands are busy. I tried
