Inspired by Pinterest: Neighborhood Pillows

In the midst of a hectic weekend, I found myself hiding in the craft room with my laptop open to Pinterest. There, I saw a photo of some house-shaped pillows and was so taken with them, I suddenly felt as if my own home would be much cozier (and stylish!) with my own hand-made set... and so, I set out to hand-make some!

I began my pillows, by sifting through all of my fabrics and selecting colors and patterns that I thought worked well together. 

Next, I measured, cut, pinned, sewed, and flipped right-side out until my fabric pieces began to resemble a plush little neighborhood. 

 

And when I was finished, I realized... I should take a basic sewing class so that I can learn some sewing shortcuts and tricks! These little guys took the better part of a Monday. 

But for me, it was worth it. I love my pillow houses. 

And while I originally thought I might be making early Christmas gifts...

Now I'm not so sure!

Should I keep them? Or give them to my friends and family?

I'll enjoy the view of my new neighborhood while I deliberate...
