project on a snowy day:: heart pillow

Has anyone seen this cute little pillow tutorial floating around Pinterest?

Me too.

I made my own.

Though I didn't exactly follow Anna's instructions.

(Mine is totally temporary and totally not as professionally sewn.)

I used some scrap fabric to cut out a heart, and hand stitched it 

onto the back of an old pillow.

It's a strong stitch that will hopefully hold up to Ryan's inevitable pillow tossing,

but not too strong--I'll be able to snip the thread and re-use the pillow

when I get tired of big red hearts everywhere.

And it only took me about 10 minutes to make two pillows.

And when I was done, I rewarded myself with a spoonful of peanut butter,

because that's the only sweet thing we have in this house right now.

I need to go grocery shopping.
