Cosy Cushions!! :)

Hi there :)

Im very excited to report that for the first time in a while i have actually managed to find the time to make a few things for myself!! :) :) :) I thought I'd try to make myself a few things before the christmas crafting begins!! :) :)

So this week I have been making myself some cushions :)

Cushion 1: An Up-cycled cushion :)
My boyfriend very kindly bought me a crochetted, round cushion cover, which I loved because it looks like a doily and I have a bit of a thing for doilies!! :) However, I decided I wanted to do-up this antique shop find. :) So, what I did was make my own cushion pad out of some lovely flowery ikea fabric, which I could then slot inside the "doily-cushion". I think it looks really cute because you can see the flowery fabric through the holes in the crochet :) :) :)
I also sewed some Cath Kidston flower buttons onto the doily, to make it even more lovely :)





Im going to put this cushion into my car to fill it with even more old lady goodness :) :) :) (i like to fill my car with doilies and flowery things) :) 


Cushion 2: A Patriotic Tapestry Cushion:
I started this cushion just after Christmas!! :) The tapestry design is from a Cath Kidston book I got for Christmas :) It took me a long while to make but im really proud of the finished result and it feels really nice!! :)



Thank you so much for looking!! I hope you have a lovely day :)

Big hugs and smiles :)
