Pillow talk



I finished my vacation project... Yet another pillow. So when I stood there ready to take a "pillow portrait" for a blog post (coming soon - promise!!! Sneak peak? It is right there in the right pile... See it?) I thought about all the pillows in the house that I have made. While Jay was packing his Super Moto truck for his upcoming motorcycle trip, I started to run in and out with piles of pillows.
"What on earth are you doing???!!!"
Well, my love... I often ask myself the same thing when taking pictures of a crazy quilt top in the middle of a storm or when I hang vintage sheets in the apple trees or when I have my daughter run around with a quilt in circles in the garden until she gets so dizzy she can't even stand straight anymore... Or when I drag all the pillows in the house outside to pile them up on two chairs in a perfect light for a portrait... But this is completely normal, right? Or....

I am starting to wonder if I may have enough pillows soon... Naaaahhhh. I want even more. :D Call me nuts!!!

    Your pretty pillows speak of the comforts of home. I totally understand about trying to get the perfect light. I've often wondered what my neighbors think as I'm out taking photos in my yard. Looking forward to your pillow portrait. :-)

    If you produced ugly things of course you should stop, but since the pillows are all different and all beautiful...how can you stop?

    No, you can never have to many pillows! Only not enough sofas or beds to put them on. ;-)

    lol! Don't worry you're not alone, I also think it's completely normal to have about 10 dozen cushions and to cart them all outside for a photo, nothing wrong with that! ;)

    Glad I'm not the only nut taking random photos outdoors, I'm sure my neighbours wonder why I like to take photos of my washing hanging on the line xxx
