...are more difficult to part with... I love these two pillows. First because I love navy blue needlepoints and I buy every one I ever see. Second, I literally stepped out on the edge with these. Inspired by MacKenzie-Childs style, I wanted them just so. I cannot ever do what Mackenzie-Childs does because their art is truly one of a kind~ but I can be inspired by them. So these pillows got to my worktable with the 'just so' in mind~ they got to a certain point and sat, and sat and sat~ finally one day I said~ "That's it~ no more tuffets until I finished the navy needlepoints." So off to work I went. I must say I love the results~ not to wild and crazy but still not my usual style. I have been known to say "I would redecorate to keep these pillows" .... seriously I would have. But lucky for me a friend had spied the pillows and could resist no longer. Last week "my babies" were packed in a box and sent to a new home. I just got notice that they arrived safely and have an appointed spot. They will be rotated with another pair of my pillows (another lucky pair that went to this wonderful home) I am happy!
