Closet Secrets
Thoughts: I can just imagine what my children will say after I have died and gone to heaven and they have the awful job of cleaning out my stuff...

"Does anyone want any of this?"
"Bring in the dumpster!"
"What was she thinking?"

Things: I am adding one more pillow to the cupboard. Once again I saw this pillow in a magazine and thought I would make my own version. It is made from wool. Any flower shape will work. The flower center is whip stitched on. I also did a round running stitch inside the flower. Turquoise ric-rac to trim the edge and backed with red wool.

  3. I am so impressed with your pillow collection and the orderly fashion it is stored away! Here at my house I have to search first in this closet and then in that box until I finally locate the one perfect thing I need. And I know what my kids will say..."good grief"!
