Q's Daydream is the best blog. I stumbled upon it when I did a search for H&M sailor pants like the ones I'm wearing in the previous post. She has an incredible aesthetic both in her personal style and her amazing photographs. Very inspiring. Makes me want to take more pride in -- and more time--in whatever I'm going to post. We'll see if that happens.

Council Boutique on Atlantic Avenue is having a wine tasting and shopping event tomorrow featuring a wine by Parlay Wines of Brooklyn.
Concluding the pillow project I started this weekend, here is pillow #2 with a modest embellishment of trim with pom poms...I only had enough for one side.
Here it is up close before I blind stitch it up.

To dress up the living room couch, I bought two pieces of fabric (above), one yard each, and two 18" square pillow forms at Mood Fabrics (as seen on Project Runway) on my way home from work the other night.
Here's pillow # 1 in progress -- pinned and ready to be sewn.
I finished the pillow with a hand sewn blind stitch while watching reruns of the Rachel Zoe Project on Bravo.
And voila! My first pillow. (Not including the ones I sewed by hand for my stuffed animals when I was little.)
Here it is with the other side showing.
And here's how it looks with the couch.
