I'm in a Blue Mood

Do you ever have one of those days where things seem to get under your skin?  Well today has been one of those days for me.

I won't go into details because it wouldn't be "nice" of me...but ya know, sometimes I would just love to let loose on a few people!  God forgive me for even thinking that way...

And yes, even Sweet Melanie isn't always so sweet. lol

I had finished sewing for a sweet lady in Texas, so my sewing machine was already out.  It kept calling my name as I puttered around the house feeling bummed.  It's one of my ways to cope along with painting and cleaning, then I can talk to God and ask for help.  

So here's what I've done tonight.  I had a little skirt the the girls outgrew that was the perfect shade of blue.  I held onto it for years just waiting for that perfect way to use it.

See those little ruffles?  

Well, I thought they'd look really cute added to this napkin that I made into a pillow a long time ago.

It just gave it that special little touch and now I have a keepsake from the girls.

Then I added a different ruffle to this one because I didn't have enough of the skirt left.

I love them both!

They kinda remind me of candy....

Then I remembered a photo I had seen on Pinterest of a Union Jack pillow that I fell in love with.  So I went through my fabric and this is what I made.

I'm making some more in pink before I go to bed.  I love this!

I think I'll make another one like this for our bed...maybe make it oblong instead of square.  

So now I'm off to do more sewing...if you all think about it, say a little prayer for me will ya?  God knows I can use them when I get irritated!
