Had a fun morning with Rhonda yesterday; we took a ride to see my other sister Sandra at the antique store she works in. What a fun place! I found these little vintage linen napkins that I thought would be great for pillows for my "Winter Moon" pockets, but now that I see it put together, I don't know. Bud was watching me stuff it, and said, Oh that's cute, but then proceeded to tell me it kind of looks like a "frog on a log," like it was just put there on the pillow. I, of course, kind of bristled when he said that, but as usual his criticism is spot on, much as I hate to admit it. And as harsh as he can be sometimes!!! I mean, I don't hate it; I bought them because the yellow stripe in the fabric is the same yellow as the moon, but now that it's all together I don't think that's enough.I think it could be better. I think that's what was wrong when I was in Joann's the other night trying to pick out background fabric and having trouble doing it. I wasn't connecting the pocket to the pillow, just matching the colors. And I like how I worded that, cause that's exactly right! I have already stitched the other pocket to the other napkin, but before I go any further I will play with it some more, and see if I can get more of a marriage between the pillow and the pocket. Keep ya posted!
