Under pressure..

Sometimes I think I work better under pressure and to a deadline.
My daughter's going to a birthday party tomorrow and she asked me after school this afternoon if I could please make a cushion for her friend.  It's hard to say no when the kids tell me how much they love me making things for them.  Can't believe how quickly I was able to make this when I know dinner time is looming and I'll have to get the dining table cleared and put food on it.

I had been promising my son I would make him a big cushion for ages.  The cushion insert had been in & out of the cupboard too many times, so yesterday I finally got to make this.
I really love all the colours I used.  I started out with just shades of blue and red, but it didn't look right.  A bit of yellow and green has made a lovely bright addition to his room.  Just in time for a bit of lounging around on during the Easter holidays.
And I got two thumbs up from Mister 8!

This is Polly (centre) our bold and fearless Jack Russell puppy.

 Today she is at the vet to be 'fixed' . 

It is so quiet at home without her.  But I know she is in good hands at the Vet.

Time to get back to some sewing, and then before I know it, it will be time to pick up our little Polly.
