Straight lines are tiring.

True story.

I am tired of sewing.

Don't get me wrong, I like sewing because it produces pretty things but over the past week I have spent too much time in front of the machine. I need a break from mating one piece of fabric to another piece. Ha mating fabric.

Since last Wednesday I've sewn four 3 foot long curtain panels and 5 pillows. That's a lot of straight lines. But not so hard work pays off. I cozified our bed with new pillows!

Here's our bed before. Try not to fall asleep looking at this picture.

That's special. Not so much. Boring. So I went to Ikea this past weekend and bought 5 feather pillow inserts. Key: Buy the feather pillow inserts, not the cheap polyester fiber filled inserts. The feather inserts are so much more comfortable and you can actually lay, snuggle, pass out and touch them with out worrying about the pillow losing its shape and becoming a pancake.

The pillows make our bed look small but that's mostly because the pillows are big. Big and cozy. The big back pillows that are in the same fabric as the curtains are about 2 feet wide each.

and here they are all fabriced up!

I'm pretty in love with the fabrics. The 2 back pillows were made from left over curtain fabric and the gray fabric and purple floral fabric I found at Joanne's. The floral fabric mixed with the geometric pattern fabric does it for me.

Our bedroom is finally starting to develop a personality!

I'm definitely already scheming up some more ideas for this room.
