Finally Finished....Some Craftiness

Is it just me or do you have lots of half finished craft projects?

I really should finish projects that I start or purchase materials for, but for some reason I get half way through and become unmotivated and move onto the next thing.

Sometimes though I pick up a project to finish off...

Quite some time ago I started making these bow pillows for my bedroom. Last week I finally finished them off and im quite happy with how they turned out. They match well with my pink bedspread (above).

On the back of the pillow case I made two bow ties to keep the cover closed, they probably would have been ok without, but I think they look pretty, you can never have too many bows right?

The fabrics I choose were both pink, the front of the pillow I used fabric with a cream coloured background and pink stencil type of print, you probably cant tell but there is a tree with I think children underneath. And for the bow and the back I used pale pink fabric with a pink and green flower pattern.

I have to say it felt so good finishing these pillows!

Recently Ive been on a few shopping trips and bought some lovely things. Of course theres lots of pink, bows, pearls and lace. I will be doing a post to show you these soon, but for now, heres a sneak peek...

As soon as our beautiful sunny weather started, it has now ended, today is very gloomy, pouring with rain, grey skys and super windy...

The autumn weather is deffinately setting in, and already im missing summer. What are your favourite things about the cold rainy weather (which for many of you is just ending) and do you have any suggestions to replace sunny picnicing, beach walks, bikerides and nature walks that we enjoy in summer?
