Rosette Neck Pillow

I felt motivated and inspired to try my hand at another pillow.  I saw a cute tutorial on Pinterest for a Rosette Pillow (they call it a Fat Quarter).  The tutorial can be found at The House of Smiths.  It seemed simple enough for a sewing novice like myself...so I took a stab at it

AND. . . . . . .

TA-DA!  MY ROSETTE PILLOW!

I thought I did pretty good for a first time attempting such a thing.  I think it will look gorgeous as a neck pillow on our bed.  Our duvet is white paisley with grey sheets.  I want to have an assortment of different grey and white pillows filling the bed.

My mother-in-law (who I'm pretty certain was a Personal Shopper + Interior Decorator in another life) has an assortment of items in their basement, which I have been given free reign to take, repurpose, and use for our own home.  I found a 4 inch tall letter "T", which is our last initial.   Perfect decor for our Coffee Bar except it was a BRIGHT BRASSY GOLD.  Bleck!  My solution?  A ball of leftover twine + hot glue + burnt fingertips = Cute Little Letter "T"!

Eiffel Tower Piggy Bank & Twine "T" Letter

Check out how cute it looks next to the Eiffel Tower Piggy Bank I found at Burlington Coat Factory (I figured it would be great for the kitchen because my husband always empties his pockets and puts spare change on the counter -UGH!  The Eiffel Tower Piggy Bank solves my problem and adds a cute decor touch!)
