nevermore


This is the last Halloween project (maybe)! For someone who claims to hate Halloween, I sure was busy this year!

I had the design of this pillow in my head for awhile, but I was having trouble getting to the fabric store. I finally did and spent a whole glorious day this weekend sewing.

The nevermore pillow is my homage to Edgar Allan Poe's poem, The Raven. I made it as a pillow sham, so I can easily pack it up and store it.

I don't know what's gotten in to me lately, but I've been on a creative bender. I'm not complaining-I love it when the ideas flow, but it can be frustrating. I mean I just I want to craft and paint and sew all day and all night, but I can't. I'm carrying a notebook around with me at all times to ensure that I don't lose any of my ideas. Now I just need to find the time implement them...

I was gonna say!--your dislike for Halloween has been thrown out the crafty window! Looks like you've had fun!
I'm still not there with Halloween. Still can't get into it. I'm holdin' out for Thanksgiving...

I think you are secretly starting to like Halloween--I won't tell anybody. Beautiful pillow, quoth the raven.
