As I mentioned before, I wanted to change out my "store bought" pillows for some homemade ones for the top of my husbands trunk in the sunroom. I made the first pillow last night and am so pleased with it I have to share. I need to give credit where credit is due though! I was inspired by a blogger I recently found..I actually was more than inspired..I pretty much just copied her:). I even copied her title for this post (shameless). But hopefully it is okay with her. You can find her here. I think I will copy even more of her pillows..she is very talented and creative!
Isn't that a great pillow?! I'm sure you can see why I was excited when I found this idea. You can't get much more Shabby Chic than burlap and roses!
I always think that I have not mastered the torn fabric rosettes but then when I get them on there I am always pleased with them. They really have the shape of real roses!
Next I think I will make a pillow that looks like the valance--a pretty ruffled one.
Thanks for stopping by for a little "pillow talk" :)
Have a great day!

Sandy....Love love love the pillow. And isn't getting ideas all about this blog thing. I would hope people would want to use my recipes and get ideas for presentation etc. etc. My mother always said that duplication is the highest form of flattery. And I agree. Also where did you get your white headboard. I have been looking for years for one like that accept in king size. I absolutely adore it.
Thanks too for commenting on my recent dessert post. I truly appreciate it. And the dessert really is incredible. Hope you can try it.
Hugs,
Nann
Very pretty,must check out that sight. My daughter is coming over on Saturday for a crafting afternoon. She bought a pattern online for those roses,and wants to make some then. Good idea on the pillow.

I love the roses on that pillow. Looks perfect in your sun room! Adding a pillow with ruffles will be so pretty. It is wonderful the way all of you bloggers share your creative ideas with one another.
I love the pillow, but what about that trunk hey!!!
~Bliss~
Your pillow turned out beautiful and I love your valance too.
Have a wonderful day!

The pillow is simply stunning! and so is your home.
The pillow is so pretty and works really well with your window treatments and lampshade.
That is a fabulous pillow! I love the ruffled drapes too! XO Cindy
That is adorable. Wish you'd drop by my house and make me a couple of them. Well, at least I tried.
Wow. I love that trunk! The pillow is pretty too, but I am stuck on that trunk. I made some flowers out of felt a few weeks ago, but I've been meaning to try the torn fabric method. I think they look more realistic.
your white pillows
are very sweet
and go well with your adorable
ruffled valance
