1:20 AM


I started this pillow tonight at about 10:00 p.m. and my brain has been taxed to the limit from trying to figure out how to put the iron-on transfer onto the muslin, piece together the rest of the fabric, sew the decorative embellishment, and then get the picture/muslin piece centered while making the rest of the fabric fit the pillow form nice and snug.  I am not a seamstress, and I did not use a pattern, so there was some unpicking of the stitches (as Markelle would say) being done.  I know my brain is fried because it is now 1:20 a.m. and I cannot figure out how to turn the picture (of pillow, shown above)  around.  My dog is sleeping beside me (and breathing a little heavy, I might add), but my brain won't shut down.  I think I will have to pull out the scriptures and read some of the fun passages from 2 Nephi...you've got to love those Isaiah chapters!
