This small pillow is free style, hand-embroidery project that I did more than ten years ago, to help me de-stress while reviewing for the dental board exam. It was something I did to help me take my mind off anything related to dentistry. My study routine started at exactly 7am and ended by 11pm (or until sawa), with only a 30 minute break for each meal plus a (liberal) rest period from 1-2 pm that I allowed myself either for a nap or to watch Oprah. Whenever Oprah would win over nap time I would also be working on this project. The entire pillow case (including the pillow), each stitch of the embroidery and the little pearl bead work was made during commercials breaks.
I was really flattered when hubby's (then boyfriend) mom and sisters all thought that it was machine embroidered and even thought hubby was lying when he said that I sewed everything by hand.
Forgive me if I sound self-glorious but I really am proud of this project and would consider this an heirloom piece. I'm not sure if I could make another project as intensive as this --- I hardly have the time not to mention the patience (I'd rather save both for my little toddler)!
you should really be proud! you have the hands for crafts talaga. so admirable! ^_^

ReplyDeleteLilac pillow cases are a beautiful way to add a touch of color to your bedroom. They are perfect for spring and summer, and they can help you achieve a more relaxed and soothing atmosphere in your home.
ReplyDeleteThere are a few things to keep in mind when choosing lilac pillow cases. First, you want to make sure that the fabric is of a high quality. This will help ensure that the pillow case is durable and will not fade over time. Second, you want to choose a fabric that is breathable. This will help keep you cool and comfortable during warmer months. Finally, you want to make sure that the fabric is hypoallergenic. This will help you avoid any allergic reactions or skin irritations.
