FUN - FUN - FUN
Start here and "follow me" down my Holiday Lane!
You will see my pillow but don't stop at the houses...
go to the end of the lane for
a chance to win my GIVE-AWAY.
A Moda "Ready, Set, Snow" 42 pack of charms!
For my pillow, I pulled all the fun fabrics from my Christmas stash!
I don't do much applique...so this was a challenge.
Perfect pillow on the bed in my guest room. 
Flip it over and the back is all decked
out with Holiday trees.
Since I am recovering from recent foot surgery
and couldn't get out to buy stuffing or a pillow form,
the pillow is stuffed with left over scraps of batting.
I had to figure out what to use for the snow.. ah-ha

And look...the background fabric looks like it is snowing!

Kathy, your pillow is adorable...love your fabrics, front and back! Smart gal to use such fancy trimmings and embellishments on the houses and your backing is perfect! Really liked your post...but I have no funny stories to share about pillow fights! I am a follower though!
ReplyDeleteOh Kathy, you did an outstanding job creating this :kwilty pleasure" ;)
ReplyDeleteI really like the beading for lights and the backing is so cute!
Thank you for the chance
The hubster & I used to have the odd pillow fight and I'm sure you can guess where that lead (wink)
Love your pillow and the cute lights you added! Thank you for sharing and the great giveaway. jbechosend at sbcglobal dot net and I am a new follower!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful pillow...especially love the beads and cute little buttons you embellished it with!!! Never had a pillow fight but I am a happy follower :o)
ReplyDeleteLove the pillow - I like the way you have used beads for lights they also could be icicles too - the buttons are lovely too. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYour pillow is very cute, love the details! And thanks for the chance to win, I would love to have that fabric for this christmas!
ReplyDeleteLove your pillow and the added details! Great!
ReplyDeleteI already follow you and with three older brothers there has been a pillow fight or two!
ReplyDeleteI love all the little extras you added especially the cute little lights around the houses. I love the back of the pillow also! Thank you so much for sharing them with us!
ReplyDeleteVery cute and ingenious to us those batting scraps!
ReplyDeletePillow fights...the magic of childhood! :)
ReplyDeleteI don't remeber all of the many details of fights from childhood but the epic 'fight' of all in our family was when my children were younger. We were visiting my parents and the children were tucked in bed as the adults were visiting downstairs...When out of no where came the most terrific loud blast of shouts and giggles. Upstairs in the big old farmhouse...the children had found the old feather pillows...and....when we adults dared to venture upstairs....In the middle of July, in Florida was a blizzard [I'm talking white out conditions] of feathers!

ReplyDeleteYour pillow is adorable!
ReplyDeleteI'm a long time follower.
Since I raised three sons, I have been in many pillow fights! Most of them started by ME! (Nothing to break up a tense situation like a little pillow free for all!)
Beautiful pillow with beautiful details. The glass beads you added does it for me. :)
ReplyDeletethimbleroom(at)gmail(dot)com

ReplyDeleteI am a new follower. Love your creation!! Fabulous embellishments. No pillow fight here; that I remember anyway...lol
ReplyDeleteYou've added the perfect embellishments - your pillow is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGreat pillow. The beads for the white lights was a great idea. Pillow fights? I remember encouraging my kids - sometimes - and telling them to stop once it got out of control!
ReplyDeleteThe details on this wonderful pillow are terrific. I love the touch of the smoke rising from the chimmney.
ReplyDeleteYour pillow looks great...I like the extras you added, especially the smoke coming out the chimney. Thanks for the chance at the great giveaway. Hope I am lucky.
ReplyDeleteThe added embellishments really make your pillow look beautiful. I love the use of glass beads as lights..very clever! Everything about your pillow is just perfect. :O)
ReplyDeleteLove a good pillow fight but not with this little beauty....hahaha.

I am a new follower...cute pillow with beads...very creative!! Love it
ReplyDeleteJust pillow fights with my boys when young....no bursting of pillows with feathers thank goodness!
ReplyDeleteI just love the little details you added to the pillow. Just gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteI love the embellishments you have added to your pillow! We used to have pillow fights but we also would have pillow races down the stairs. We would sit on the pillow & slide down the stairs. I am now a follower. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGreat embellishments on your holiday lane pillow! Beautiful! Hmmm...pillow fights...not in a very long time!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job on your pillow. Love how you did your snow, and embellishments.Thank you so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYour pillow is darling and I love the "ice" hanging from the roofs.
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower and, yes, I have been in a pillow fight in the past, but have broken up way too many around here.
New follower. Like the embellishments you did to the pillow.
ReplyDeletePillow fight - unfortunately yes in my childhood. Youngest of the family and only girl. 2 older brothers so if you can call being whacked by them a pillowfight
Great job!! I really like the way you creatively embellished your pillow! Hope the foot is recovering nicely -- I had a foot surgery on the 7th. I was off it for a couple of weeks, but now I'm hobbling around! And I'm both a follower *and* have been involved in many pillow fights (one as recently as last night)!! :)
ReplyDeleteOOOH - that charm pack looks awesome! Would love to win!
ReplyDeleteLike your version of the pillow and using cotton batting was a great idea!
Great job! Thanks for participating and for the giveaway! I've had several pillow fights in my day (or rather night).
ReplyDeleteVery cute! Love the use of the beads for the lights. I am a new follower. I don't ever remember being in a pillow fight! I think I have changed my settings so that I m NOT a no reply blogger, but just in case debbi.cline(at)gmail.com
ReplyDeleteLove the front and the back! Your embellishments are adorable!

Am a new follower and I love your pillow!
ReplyDeleteI love your polka dot houses and the Xnas light hanging from the roof. Very cute. I just became a new follower.
ReplyDeleteGreat pillow and I loved all the embellishments especially the clear beads - they just add some twinkley sparkle. Not a real pillow fight - though I've used a pillow to two to 'smack' a sister or brother. Mom was on us in a flash if we used her good feather pillows so roughly!
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower.
ReplyDeleteMy grandson LOVES to pillow fight (he is also really bossy about what you can and cannot do) so we have had lots of pillow fights - he is five.
ReplyDeleteLove that background fabric - very nice and glittery. Judy C
ReplyDeleteI am one of your newest devoted followers. Judy C
ReplyDeleteThe candy canes and the glass beads were great touches!
ReplyDeleteYour pillow is wonderful! I love the glass beads and the way you up-cycled the batting - both in and out! Aren't decorative buttons just the best? I'm a happy new follower of your creativity! Hope your healing is quick, painless and thorough!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't remember being in a pillow fight... but I am allergic to the feathers!
ReplyDeleteI love your pillow and your embellishments!

ReplyDeleteLove how you decorated your houses in the pillow. I don't ever remember having a pillow fight. LOL
ReplyDeleteYour pillow is fabulous! great use of batting and the beads are such a great addition.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had a pillow fight since I was a child.
AAH...Pillow fights always got me in trouble as a kid so I decided to avoid them at all costs! I either ended up hurt, hurting someone else, or breaking something..LOL! I think winning your charm pack would sure make-up for a lifetime of failed pillow fights!.... I also love your ingenuity in making do with what you had on hand to make your pillow...good job!!! Hope your foot is doing better BTW!! Enjoy your Christmas season. Your festive little pillow is a great start to your decorating!
ReplyDeleteBlessings

I have been in several pillow fights, some with my brother and sister and sometimes my mom would join in. We would always end up falling on the pillows in a pile of laughter. Love your pillow with the glass beads and the candy canes in the windows.
ReplyDeleteThe best thing about blog hops is finding new bloggers. Glad I found you and am now a follower.
ReplyDeleteDelightful details like the ones you added add so much to your pillow! No pillow fights in my past that I recall...just the usual sibling fights, with or without pillows!
ReplyDeleteI like to throw the pillows on my gbabies when i am making the bed, it makes them laugh
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy, aren't hops a great way to find new blogs to follow?! I love all the inspiration. I am now a follower of your blog. As for pillow fights, when one has 6 younger brothers there are always fights...er, I mean pillow fights! LOL
ReplyDeleteI haven't been in a pillow fight in years, I don't know if my DH would appreciate me swinging a pillow at him. I use to enjoy pillow fights with my girls when they were little, but it has been 30+ years.

Thank your for sharing your beautiful pillow. I love your fabric choices
ReplyDeleteThanks for your holiday lane pillow post. The embellishments and stitchery really makes your pillow special. My last pillow fight was with my 1+ yo grandniece on Thanksgiving Day. She loves pillows and climbed up on my bed while I was laying there, doing her best to cover me with pillows. Of course, she does claim all the pillows as "Mine" ... a signal that the terrible twos will soon arrive.
ReplyDeleteI am really getting into the holiday spirit with these creative pillows!
ReplyDeleteI am a follower.
ReplyDeleteI love the candy cane buttons--they are a perfect addition to your pillow.
ReplyDeleteFun, fun, fun pillow! Love the added embellishments and the smoke coming out of the chimney.
ReplyDeleteI never had any pillow fights with my sisters, but we got into other mischief.
Great cushion! I love the embellishments you added!
ReplyDeleteI haven't had a pillow fight in years but my children still love them!
