Throw Pillows

Wowza, it's been a while again...
Not going to lie- I'm mostly posting this blog so that I can pin my picture from it onto Pinterest. :)

I just made this pillow today:
It's been in the works for quite some time now- a vision in my head to executed very quickly once I finally got the required tools. I'd gotten the craft idea off pinterest and was wondering what to write when I heard Bob Marley's "Get Up Stand  Up" on the radio on my way home from work- it hit me as the perfect quote for it. That is one of my 2 favorite songs growing up, so it wasn't a difficult choice.

I wrote all of the text myself with a fabric permanent pen and a stencil for the letters.
It took quite a while to draw it all on there... And I am ASTONISHED I finished it without skipping a letter or entire word or something. So I'm pretty proud. :)

This is only the first of many pillows I plan on making. Some others will have a union jack symbol, a patchwork heart, owl or two, and maybe some initials for D & I.

I'll post more when they're being made. :)
