Well what's a girl to do?!
Treat herself of course! Sooooo I indulged in a little wine and a little online shopping....
Just because.
I also settled down to watch Bedlam on the old brain numbing box last night. Have any of you UKers seen it? My god it gives me the heebie-geebies! I'm not good with horror. I slept with my light on until I was 15 after watching Poltergeist and IT as a kid (no my parents didn't know I was watching them!) I really shouldn't do it to myself. You know most people hide behind cushions when they know a scary part is coming up in a film? Well I've found a new way of hiding (and it doesn't make you look like such a scaredy cat!) ......make your own cushion and become totally engrossed in getting those stitches right just when you know something is going to jump out!
Ta-Dahhhhhhhh! As promised for daughter number one - a pink and purpley cushion. This one is made up from nine blocks using Jan Eatons 200 Blocks book (block number 3 called Target Practice.) The back is just striped trebles (ds in US terms) and took foooorrrreeeevvvvveeeeerrrrrr. Or so it seemed! (and I just realised I didn't get a photo of the back so you'll just have to take my word for it!) I can quite see the benefits of using fabric for the back of cushions and believe me, if I'd had any - I would've used it!
So two down and one to go. Although daughter number 2 has asked for a white and teal cushion. Guess what? I have no white and teal in my over flowing basket. Every other colour under the rainbow but no white and teal. So unless I can persuade her into another colour, I shall be taking a trip to my LYS pretty soon. Oh poor, poor me! ;-)

That yarn looks awesome :D I was single for Valentine's too, but my son told me that he would be my Valentine lol.
Yarn sounds like the perfect Valentines gift to me Terrie...And what a yarn too!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your cushion!!! tooooo pretty :) Square target is such a great square isn't it, I've started a blanket for my no.2 son in it.
Fab coloured yarn. Look forward to see what it becomes. x
Hello, thank you for the lovely comment. It's great to meet you. I haven't watched Bedlam but might have a look now that you've mentioned it, I like a bit of scariness as long as it's not too gruesome.
Your cushion is gorgeous. I love the colours.

That's beautiful yarn - any plans for it? And the cushion is awesome! I'd love to make a cushion like that myself sometime soon. Thanks for commenting on my blog since it meant I got to wander over here and I find yours!
