Mini-cushions...

18 February 2011

Everyone needs a mini-cushion don't they?
I thought they were cute....
Potentially useful...
sweet little gifts...
but
repeatedly I got the same question...

Family...."What ARE these?"
Me..."Mini-cushions"
Family..." but what do you DO with them?"

Sometimes I wonder....
Why is it that everything needs a use?
Cant they just be.... totally useless!

However.....I think they look sort of sweet
I have one on my spare bed.... one propped against my lamp....and another on my desk...
 some others were sent as little gifts for crafty friends....
hopefully they brightened up a spot in their homes too.




and that my friends.....is the mini-cushion story.
(Yes I'm delirious and rambling....and about to head to bed....night shifts do that to me)

    I love love love mine too - and when I look at it I smile. It sits on a bookshelf so it doesn't get damaged (which is highly likely with my kids!).
    My study/scrap space has some beautiful handmade things and yours is one of them.
