Pillows, pillows, pillows

Who doesn't like pillows? I design my own and occasionally I make them for friends. As far as I'm concerned, you cannot have a room without pillows -- they enhance the room's personality and make it welcoming. My dog even likes my pillows!!! . . . . In fact, she's sleeping behind one on the sofa as I write this. Well, maybe that's not such a good thing . . . . I was looking on one of my favorite blogs, My Notting Hill, and she has this great pillow site, blissstudio.com. Wow -- nice stuff. They have some other stuff, too; like iron bed frames. Anyway, my mom was "chair-bound" for years and needlepoint was her hobby -- thank goodness for needlepoint, it helped her so much -- and we all were the beneficiaries of her hobby, because we all have some very cool pillows. I have about five needlepoint pillows started . . . . . My "regular" pillows are just assortments of fabric and trim, but it's fun to put them together with "pieces" of a room -- they pull it all together. Just those little square things -- they pull a whole room together. As the Barefoot Contessa says, "How cool is that?"
