Even thought it's hot outside, the AC is running constantly inside, and on lazy summer afternoons like we're having today, I feel like cosing up on the sofa with a magazine. I'm always perusing the latest fashion magazines to see the new colors schemes the fashionistas are drawing from.
While I was lazing around (for a mere twenty minutes.....a rare treat), I realized that our sofa pillows needed to go..........yeah, to GO bye bye! They were only two years old, max, but hey, why not some fresh, new ones?! YEAH! I love these hip, playful new pillows I whipped up. Recognize this cute new fabric?!!
Here's a close up of an oil painting I did in college......I still get inspired by these gorgeous tall, tall trees! They remind me up lumbering elephants with their trunks hanging and blowing. There is a great little write up on them in the latest Sunset Magazine.
My ever growing stash of magazines.........just a few from this summer! I constantly have to keep at the pile and cull through them. It's hard to throw any of them out, so out to the garage they go......stash, stash (don't tell hubby)

Love the pillows, very sassy! Whilst viewing the first pic of them I noticed the oil painting in the background and thought how cool it was, who knew what an artiste you are!
what is it with us and collecting magazines?? Even the ones that from the cover are sooo not "me", I love to thumb through them, like you said, for color schemes, small jewelry making ideas, clothes reconstruction ideas... anything... gotta love the creative mind!! we must thrive on colorful and fun things to look at! I guess that's why I keep coming to your site! beautiful!
Your pillows are quite lovely. Keeping down the growing magazine pile is always a challenge :)
Love the pillows . . . I love the entire Chocolate Lollipop line!

Cute pillows. And I'm with you on collecting magazines. I have years of Victoria magazines that continue to inspire me. The others I can clip and cull, but not the Victorias.
Yay for Victoria! I'm so glad it's coming back! I just sent my confirmation off in the mail last week! Looking forward......and hope it's as good as it was last time around!
Cute fabric! And I wish my magazine pile (s) was as neat as yours~
Hmmn...at least your magazines are put away, mine kind of creep around the house in various places. Occassionally I can find what I need. I'm like you, hate throwing them away, but looks like it's time to think the collection soon.
I love the new pillows! Fun and creative, and of course, great fabric! My couch could use some new pillows too.
Your new pillows are adorable and so fun! I love your painting too! Fun post and fun to see!

Pillows are great! :) I also love the paiting you did in college!!!
Just love your fun and funky pillows! I'm a fellow magazing junkie, and I also hate to toss them out. I really need to say farewell to at least a few soon!

It's not really fair you have SO many magazines and I have none.... ;-)
