Christmas Tree Scrap Pillow

Leftover duck fabric + scraps of fun fabric + Christmas-sy mood = Tree pillow!

I'm slowly starting to pump out some christmas projects, aren't ya proud?

I was incredibly productive this weekend considering it was my first 'no thinking of school' weekend I've had in FOREVER.

So I got down to business.

Little man is all about Christmas this year since he's three.. I'll show you some of his masterpieces from this past weekend soon.

He's been asking for a tree pillow for a little while so when I saw a pile of scraps leftover from a rag quilt I made wayyy back when... I saw tree!

I also had some fantastic pieces of off-white duck fabric (just why is it called duck fabric, really?)

I took my pile of scraps and started cutting them and laying them out on the duck fabric...

This was really the longest part...getting everything the way I wanted it :)

It ended up being bigger than I had first envisioned...but I liked it. A lot.

I rolled a piece of burlap and made a burlap flower that could pretend to be a star!

Want to know a secret?

Don't hate me, kay?

I'm not the world's greatest sewer...so this is hot-glued on.

But that's okay, right?

you still love me?

I usually hate my handwriting.

But with a calligraphy pen, I can handle it a little better :)

So I added 'be merry' at the base of the tree.

I promise I DID sew the pillow together... no hot glue there. :)

I love it!

It's a big, snuggly pillow and little man approves!

Plus it's the whole non-traditional blue and brown scheme that has me in love...

...can you tell by my couch and wall color that I'm way beyond smitten?

The front with the tree is made with the off-white duck fabric.

The back is a chocolate brown duck fabric.

I love the stuff!

Do you love these fabrics as much as I do?

I'm so ready for Christmas... maybe somewhat because it would mean this semester is over.

But I do have one more Thanksgiving craft up my sleeve... just wait!
