In search of new pillows for the living room...

Pretty and springy:

 

Sophisticated yet happy:



Silly and fun:



Most likely to win approval from my husband:



Honorable Mention--not what I was looking for, but a really neat pillow and a great idea:



This pillow was freehand machine embroidered, which I imagine must be a very slow and difficult process. I tried to freehand embroider something once on my machine, and I vowed to never do it again.  Besides the time that must have gone into making this pillow, I just love the idea. There is a whole series of these that, when lined up on a couch, create a a pretty little scene.  Admittedly, I would prefer the painting over the couch be a nice landscape, but I get it--It's art.
