Well as inspired by my fellow blogger, Pam from Bayside Rose, I thought I should post some of my more creative side. It's not unusual for me to whip up some creative cushions from time to time - especially when inspired.

My dear friend Karen from tokmonsta initially inspired me to create some cushions from second hand tea towels. So, off I went to Mum's in search of her linen cupboard for tea towels. Tea towels I found in abundance, dating as far back as the 1950's. Most were gifts over the years, some were form my late Nan. After selecting the best of the best, I thought how great to take these tea towels and create some cushions and give them back as a Christmas present.

So here is a sample of the cushions given back to Mum for Christmas last year.





The blue 1950's lounge is now neatly tucked away in storage and will not return until the right home comes along. Did I mention that I loooove blue?
Maybe that's a give away by my Rimi Blue collection of Bitossi by Aldo Londi - just can't get enough of it.
