I started with a left over piece of a beautiful flour sack I purchased in a pack from Fleet Farm, they are inexpensive and beautiful! I hand cut out 2 hearts and on one piece I sewed on 4 different pieces of lace... I LOVE lace! Then added a few buttons in the colors of the new quilt for the bed. Putting right sides together I sewed around the heart, leaving a small opening for turning and stuffing. I then snipped small cuts around the heart before turning it right side out, also remember to snip the point off, but be careful not to cut into the thread. She has a beautiful point on her, but the pictures don't show it very good... wished I would have seen that earlier! And then I stuffed it, and hand stitched the edge closed.
I tied a bow made with silk ribbon I received on a present some time ago...I never throw anything beautiful away! I added a small strand of white pearls under the bow and then sewed them onto the heart. My heart is about 8" wide by about 7" high. And she is beautiful! One more project done for the new room and it will be making it's reveal soon...
Just wanted to share how much my Aero Garden (this one is petunia's) has grown from a week or so back when I first showed it to you. I have had to raise the top almost to the top height...as the plant grows you don't want the light too close and burn the plants. I think I'll be seeing some buds soon...
Hugs,
Pendra

Pendra, Those are the little details that make a room so special! I love the heart,the bow, the buttons, very pretty! Can't wait for the reveal!
When I was a teenager, my neighbor made me a sweet little heart shaped pillow like this.
I always save my ribbons, too. It can always be used somewhere!
What a sweet pillow! I love what you did with it. That plant looks so pretty! I adore greenery!
That Aero garden is so cute--what fun! that little pillow is so sweet too--makes me want to do some sewing!
Isn't it fun decorating a room? Coming up with those little touches that make it feel like home? The heart is so precious and anyone would love seeing that in their room. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful and sweet pillow, Pendra. I love that it's made from a flour sack. Came out great.
Pendra, can I book my week to stay in your soon to be revealed guest room? I know it's going to be so special xo
