I had fun today, lots and lots of fun! Many years ago when our daughter was a little girl, I used to make her applique pillows, I think she still has some of them tucked away somewhere. Today I decided to make some more children's applique pillows for my Etsy shop, the theme of this little pillow came to me last night when I had trouble sleeping. I imagined little mushroom houses dotting the countryside, I may be the craft person in our family but our mother was the story teller, oh how I wish she were still with us, she would have made up such a wonderful story about this little pillow that children would have been spellbound, just like we were. But alas the story will have to wait until this little pillow goes to a new home, maybe one with a story teller with a wonderful imagination just like my mothers. Now on to my award and my tag: .jpg)
Tess over at Driftwood gave me an award this week, thank you Tess, along with the award came these wonderful questions, now you can find out even more about me...if you dare!

Your story book pillow is just lovely - I can just imagine it in front of a fireplace with little ones being read a fairy story - so sweet! Can't wait to see what type of pillow you come up with next! Love your tag - I fear I have a similar weakness with chocolate and tea...
That pillow is so lovely. I'm sure it will run out your Etsy shop'
s door. I have often felt like we have a lot in common...too much tea, too much chocolate, no such thing as a bath that's too hot...but the sprouts! My son (8) luuuuuurves them. He chooses them over every vegetable and asks for them for his birthday dinner. I'm so happy to have found another sproutie out there. I'm off to tell him!
a woman after my own heart - all that tea and chocolate - and the parking!
the pillow is so cute, what a truly wonderful idea!
little mushroom houses pillow is so lovely. :)
Love your pillow, I have a real soft spot for mushroom houses. Looking forward to seeing what you do next. I can't swim either and learning to crochet is on my to do list after all the Christmas presents are finished.

What a lovely pillow, just adorable! I love brussels too - you can never have enough :o) And NOTHING in the world beats a good cuppa with your feet up - none of that coffee rubbish!
Now I understand why you're so creative. It's the chocolate. I think chocolate addicts are the most creative people I know.

Your story book pillow is absolutely fantastic. What a great idea! I enjoyed learning a bit more about you, which was nice. And yes! Chocolate is the greatest. It's a food group, you know!
