Remember this pillow I made in the spring?
I really like this particular one because it has a good thick sweater look...  Cozy winter comfort kinda pillow......
Well, guess what.....it is famous now.....

{Do you think she will remember me....????}

Yay!!!
Who would have ever thought that our sweater pillow would make it to a magazine!
How lucky we are!
It was so fun to go out to mailbox and find the current GreenCraft Magazine in there, and discovering we had our pillow in the pages...!!!!!  :)

{...insert me doing a happy dance....}

Here we are:  on pages 32,33, and 34.
A wonderful rust colored super soft awesome vintage style sweater pillow....

Don't you just love it...
Can't you just see yourself taking a little nap on the couch, cozy with your head on this snugly pillow....
Makes me sleepy just thinking of it....  :-)

Getting rid of your favorite sweater is hard to do, so instead of donating it to charity or throwing it in the garbage, do what we do:  fashion it into a snugly center-piece for your sofa!







If you want to make your own sweater-number pillow, you just go, girl!

Instructions on how to sew the pillow are in the magazine....
In the mean time,  if you would like the FREE PDF file on how to make those fun number-prints....  I have made an easy to follow tutorial called "Printing Numbers Onto Fabric at Home" that has simple step-by step directions with lots of pictures on five pages.  If you want one:  just download the free PDF file below.....

Kind of like when you count sheep, sleep comes more quickly....
Do you think it will work.....?????
