Can I just stay here forever!!!

I will be calling this home for the next few days!!
Yes, going to Mexico with my friends Toni and Cindy.
This is Toni's mother's home on the beach near Rocky Point.

We have so much fun!!
It is pretty hot in Arizona right now but I must say
one of the good things about living here is that it's
only 4 hours to my favorite beach in Mexico.
When I am in Mexico I am the happiest person in the world!!!

The Pillow Project

This pillow started it all!
I blogged about it earlier in May, it is
made of flannel and fleece, it was so easy and fun,
soft and cuddly.
I thought.....it would be nice if every small child could
have one.

It didn't take long to make but if I was going to make them as
a gift to small children in need, I would have to
think of a faster and more economical
way of doing it.
So....I think these are just as cute and even more practical.

Each pillow case has a fleece signature heart applique on it.


The costly part of the pillow was the form, so I decided
to make my own. It turned out that this made it even
softer and more cuddly and cut the cost by so much I
could not even believe it....God is good!!!

If someone out there would like to help make these little pillow cases,
I will make the forms for them.
Make them from flannel in a child's theme.
You can make them any size but these are 10 1/2 x 16 finished.
I also made some measuring 14 x 18 for older children. The handy thing
about this larger size is that a pillow form can be purchased for these
if needed, it is a standard neck pillow size.
I hate to rush off now....but I have some sewing to do!!!!
