A little sewing...and much sadness

As I sat at my sewing machine the tears seemed to just keep coming as I thought about the tragedy that happened today at the Elementary school.  I am so sad...I will be praying all night for the families who lost loved ones today.
 
It helped to keep myself busy sewing today...despite the gloominess that I feel.
 
For awhile now I have had a burning desire to paint the whole inside of my house upstairs minus the bedrooms...so I set out two weeks ago and did it.  Within one week I had it all painted...but then came the need to slightly redecorate.  So I started with some new curtains in the kitchen and new pillows on the couches.
 
I've gone a bit crazy with buying home dec. fabrics and trim...I'm so pleased with the results.
 
Here are three pillows I just finished today!  Yipee!  So fun to have new pillows for the Holidays. 
 My plan is to make 3 pillows for each couch (I have 3 little white couches) so I have 6 pillows to go.  Shouldn't take too long...these took about 45 minutes each to make.  I'm not sure yet how I will group them, but there will be some consistency when I'm done placing them on each couch.  For now, they are bunched together, but I'm sure I'll change them around.

 I bought this sweet little truck from a friend who added the cute little tree on the back...so sweet!!
