I have been seein' these really cute pillows all over Etsy.
I have a really hard time paying $20-$40 dollars for them.
Come on ladies...I have a dog, a cat and we just happen to be a very clumsy family.
These things wont last very long.
It just kills me to spend money like that and then to watch chocolate ice-cream hands use it is a napkin.
I can already hear the conversation...
Any-Hoo...this got me thinking.......(ouch I think that kinda hurt)...
Then I did my Monday morning Target run.
This is what I saw...

Bradley: Mom, can I have some ice cream?
Mom(that's me in case you didn't know): only if you eat it in the kitchen!
Bradley: OK. Gee Mom you have to be the best mom ever. I just love you so much. I'm the luckiest boy in the entire world to have a mom as special as you (ok...he doesn't say that..however this is MY conversation in my head)
*Mom serves ice-cream. She walks away to do laundry(heck she could be doing anything really.)
*Mom comes back to find Bradley no longer in the kitchen but sitting on the couch with the ice-cream gone...chocolatey face and goopy hands.
*Bradley is now tired of being sticky and thinks since the pillow may look like a napkin he uses it as a napkin.
*Mom NOT happy!!!
Mom: BRADLEY...........

Can ya see it....can ya see it???
That's right....Organic Flour Towels.
Four towels for $1.74....can we all say CLEARANCE!!!!!
That means if Maisy get's busy I can have 2 pillows for less than the shipping if I ordered the other ones.
YEAH!!
Now I do have to say, I'm sure mine won't turn out nearly as nice as the other ones.
But all's I have to say to that is WHO CARES. If they look cute until my pillow ADD changes it's mind, I'm in a win win situation.

Ahhh! I'm having a light bulb moment - I bought those towels the other day - to cover my bread when it rises - but heck with that - I'm sewing a pillow! ~ Robyn
LOL, don't you love the Target clearance? I got some of those too! I"m going back today to see if anything is left!!

Those will make lovely pillows! Be sure and post them when you get them made. Wish I had a Target closeby!
Blessings!
Giddy, I can't wait to see your pillow! This is so funny cause I just bought those same towels... I use them for dishes but I also use them for gift wrapping! 2 gifts in 1!! show your pillow when you are done!!

Can't wait to see the final pictures AND the how-to! Love the creativity in you!
That is awesome!!! I can't wait to see how they turn out!! I just decided to take on a few projects myself, NOW to get to the store to buy fabric! I am loving the Target clearance sales right now! I picked up a new tablecloth and 8 matching napkins for $6.70! :)
Love it!! Can't wait to see the finished project! And my kids are the same way, I'm forever telling them not to eat in the living room or worse by the computer and the minute my back is turned....
Enjoy your day!
I can't wait to see how your pillows turn out.
Amy - you are super creative!
:o)
Have a wonderful day!
Great post...and that laundry crack was absolutely hysterical!
I love a good sale! Can't wait to see what you create!
Well, I came to the US through an exchange program when I was 23, went back to Brazil when I was 24. My now husband, went to Brazil 3 times, once I went back. Each of his visits, he spent 2 months. So, by the end of the last visit we got married.
This year we will celebrate our 4th anniversary and now I go to Brazil to visit my family once a year, that is when I buy some of my yarn... or sometimes my sister sends them to me, which is nice too!
:o)
Great idea! Can't wait to see them!
Can't wait to see your finished project!
