ariadne at Home kids

Yvonne sent me the fabulous ariadne at Home kinderen, which is full of inspiring images - don't speak the language - of interior design for kids rooms. I also found a great deal of softie inspiration: Check out the dog (top right), the robot softie on the bed (top right) and those super soft looking kittens (bottom)! I'm not working on any softies right now. Well I made a cat out of some Moomin fabric (more on that in another post), for my 10::10 project to show you Sunday, but nothing else. See I'm making pillows. A LOT of pillows. I just bought 12 pillows, that I have to dress! We made a veeery long bed for our son, that I want to make 5 large pillows for. We also got ourselves a tiny alcove, where we could just barely squeeze our bed into. I thrifted me a wonderful quilt for it, but I need some pillows to lean up against, while I read. That's 3 more. Then I got 3 for my daughters newly painted, very pink bed. It used to be her big brothers bed. She sleeps in his bed though, it's long enough for both of them. That was 11 pillows. The last one is for a wooden toy box with a lid, in my sons room. We have some left over foam mattress and I never made the box seat that comfortable, so I'll be upholstering that as well. Then there is the wallpaper I never did in there. Why is that so intimidating? Geez the To-Do list is long. I did finish 2 pillows. Two. Luckily when my daughter starts Kindergarten June 1, I'll have a few hours a day to get things DONE.

All washed and ironed. Ready to sew.

Top 3 are for bedroom/alcove.

Flowers for the girl.

Solids for the boy.

Linen for the back of all of them.

Love the fabrics you are going to use for your bedroom! But you can't just say ypu've made two pillows without showing them, that is just plain cruel! ;-)

I've got a pile of five pillows waiting for covers here, but I just can't seem to get started. I hate making the first cut in the fabric, always thinking I'm going to make a mistake and spoil everything! It usually works out fine in the end though, but I get kind of nervous before I get started...

I love that dog and cat pattern too. Oh and good luck on stitching up so many cushions. They are going to have so much fun playing with them.
