This pillow finished up a little over the top as far as cutesy goes! The buttons put it over the edge in my opinion. I am getting used to it and even fond of it as it sits on my bed. I was determined to not buy any more supplies for it after the initial breakdown of clearance yarn purchase. I could not pass up my two favorite colors of Cotton Fleece. After all, there was only one skein left of each color, tea rose and provincial rose. I took my new stash home, and feeling rather guilty, pondered over what to make. My logic is as follows. If it never actually reaches my stash, then it was truly needed and not just spending and stashing! Right?
So I started a ripple stitch crochet pillow, only to find that I had nowhere near enough yarn! There must be some shamefully appropriate Murphy's law I could reference here in hindsight. But persistence paid off, I think. I now have a super girly pink pillow that luckily matches my room, because I'm a little too shy to put in on the couch!
My husband should at least not have to tolerate pink princesses in the living room. He has, after all been so kind about the pink curtains. Thank you, Sweetie.
