pillows!

i made pillows - yay! this was my first attempt, and i do believe it was quite successful. i only had to rip all the seams out once. :) plus, if you haven't seen the new furniture yet ... now you have! it's a bit tough as it's all black ... but basically it's a black wood frame with black cushions. the loveseat (you can just see it on the left side of the photo) is also all black currently ... but once i get to the other ikea it will have cushions to match the pillows on the sofa. i thought putting the patterned cushions on the sofa might be too much - so i went black. but i think the pattern will look good on the loveseat. and i might end up with a matching patterned chair, too. we'll see. :)

i locked myself out of the house today. yeah ... smart move, i know. i made it back in though. without walking to matt's & asking if his mad lock-picking skills would work on a front door, even. so it's basically been a good day all around. :)

PLUS, i found the perfect green fabric for the back of alicia's quilt. i will get that pieced together & the whole thing basted tomorrow evening.

AND, i did my grocery shopping for the week. that's right ... i actually went grocery shopping for more than just one meal. impressive, eh?

blogger's giving me some trouble. says it can't publish because the connection is refused. but i can connect to my ftp site & upload files without a problem. so i'm going to guess it's a blogger issue that will be resolved soon enough. until then ... i'll just blog knowing no one can see it. :)
