I'm not always the best at making handmade gifts for the kids on holidays. But this year I managed to make up some pillows for each of the kids using paper piecing patterns from Sonja of Artisania Patterns.
A horse (of course) for Claire:
And a robot for Cooper:
This pregnancy is moving along nicely. I'm 17 weeks along now and feeling great. This belly is already something else.
I've never really been a person who loves Valentine's Day. And I still really don't-- but I do love my family and know I am so lucky to have them. I hope you have a wonderful day with the ones you love too!
Lest you think I'm a meanie wife and forgot all about Rob-- he's anti-pillow, but will be well taken care of with some good beer and red duct tape. He appreciates more useful gifts!
That horse pillow is just FAN-tastic!!! I would have loved that when I was a girl, and actually wouldn't mind it now.
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day!
LOVING your belly! *grins* Hope your pregnancy continues in the manner it has begun.
ReplyDeleteMy own spouse is more a red duct tape guy but - I have to ask - WHERE did you find the horse paper piecing pattern? Coz my kid would die for one of those!
I didn't know you were pregnant, congratulations! And those pillows are wonderful - wow I am feeling like a lazy mother, I never give my kids anything for valentines day!
ReplyDeleteSuch a darling idea! Love the pillows you made - I really need to try paper piecing some day.

ReplyDeleteGreat Pillows - Great belly! Hope the rest of your pregnancy turns out so well. I really misread the whole beer and duct tape thing - at least I think I did. I thought you intended duct taping your husband... :-)
