My mom and nephew are in town for three weeks so I will be taking a break from making pillows while they are visiting. However, I am on the hunt for some good fabric deals so if you know of any please let me know.

The Love story continues… The hazard of sleeping in random places is waking up and not remembering where you are. I had slept in a half a dozen places in the last two weeks so when I woke up on Joel’s couch, it took me a moment to remember where I was. Teddy had ended up on the floor facing me with his cute little perma-smile. Joel and I had worked hard over the last few weeks and this was the first morning we were able to sleep in. Read more»

Love story continues… Because I let go and just went with what the universe offered, I started a new journey. I had no intentions of doing anything, but visit a friend going back now three weeks ago. This day was the last day we would be spending in Northern California filming the golf and gourmet show for PBS. Everyone was wrapping up to head back to LA. Being a part of this film crew was a wonderful opportunity. Read more»

Love story continues… I think John and I were both caught off guard from the kiss. We both backed up from each other and got into the car so he could take me to the Best Western. I don’t really remember what happened on the ride there because I was a bit flustered. Read more»

The Love story continues…Chasing sunsets can be very inspiring. The sun setting has a whole energy of its own. Like a powerful meditation that ends with a burst of light before a new breath turns into a deep sigh. It is the fast approaching end of a day and the reminder of the gift that a new Beginning awaits.
John and I chased the sunset up to the highest peak of the mountain to make sure the crew that was following behind us would have a great shot before it set. Once we found the perfect spot, we got out and walked to the peak where the sun looked bigger than I have ever seen it. The color of the sky was full of the most amazing hues. Read more»

Check out the new pillow of the week. It is a perfect color for spring! I chose to add a little yellow to the mix because Yellow is the “It” color for weddings this year. If you have any ideas on how to incorporate the color yellow into a wedding theme please leave comments at the end of this post.

The love story continues: Dinner that night was a blur. Up until this trip I really was not a wine connoisseur and had no idea how to really order it or what great wine is supposed to taste like. Read more»

The love story continues: There is something to be said about waking up early in a strange town, on a strange bed to a day that you have no control over. Read more»

It is such a wonderful experience to learn something new. Instead of fearing my sewing machine I am starting to look forward to sitting down and creating a new pillow. This pillow was a bit easier to make and reminds me of blooming spring flowers. The whole process has been very rewarding. I am entering into a world that I had no idea existed. Slowly discovering all the little things that go into making hand crafted items is just a hoot. I found this great fabric store in LA called http://www.diamondfoamandfabric.com/ It is filled with row after row of the most unique fabrics I have ever seen. The best part is that you can take samples of the fabric you are interested in, home. The fabrics are a bit on the pricey side so I will have to aspire to this place, but for now I still shop the bargain bins at good ole’ Joanne Fabrics.
Love story continues…At the end of the day Jan always had her margarita hour so it was then that John came over to me and said, “I am sorry, but I have had a really long day and just flew in from Alaska. When I saw you sitting at my desk, I had no idea what to think and overreacted. I understand that you will be helping us on our cooking show and traveling with us to Sonoma…Finish your drink…” Read more»

I finally did it! I made my first pillow. It took me four weeks of classes, multiple screw ups, and a new found appreciation for a labor of love. This pillow is a lot like love…Not perfect, a little rough around the edges, it took a little time to come together, but it is solid and ready to be appreciated.
The Love Story begins…Just like this pillow my life is not perfect and it is very rough around the edges.
However, I feel that life and God bring you exactly what you need when you need it and God brought me John at a very crucial point in my life. Read more»
This blog was originally created to sell 1000 handmade pillows to raise money for my wedding, but sometimes life has other plans in store. John and I decided not to wait until we could raise money for the wedding because my grandmother is sick... read more »
