I Got out the Sewing Machine!!!!
I must have been really bored, or heat stroke or somethin'....cuz I finished this pillow that I started before last Christmas. Actually, I finished another pillow but I need some stuffin' before I show it. And yes, I hand embroidered it!!
This is a gift for someone who LOVES buttons. Now I did see a pillow like this a while ago and that is where I got the idea...but I don't remember who. That was before PINTEREST! If you have a pillow like this please let me know and I will definately give you the credit!
Well, that is it....Sewing took all my originality out of my brain for the rest of the week!!

P.S. Lifts, huh? That about describes it. :) I will have to check that out.

Well I love the button pillow! And I'd like to know if you hand embroidered the words, or do you have one of those amazing embroidery machines. I'd like to ask the world, Do I need an embroidery machine? Because I kind of feel like I do. So if you tell me you embroidered the words with a machine, I will definitely have to tell Mr. Redo that I need that type of machine for Christmas. Thanks for sharing your cute pillow with us, can't wait to see the other one.
Hugs,
Mary @ Redo 101
Did you embroider it by hand or on the machine? Its very cute. I like that you added the lace doilies.

Ceekay, that is just the CUTEST pillow. What a lucky button collector to receive this. laurie
When Sweet Boy was a baby I used to sing this song to him. People would stop and say "Is that a song? I've never heard that song. What kind of song is THAT?"
I wasn't sure where I'd learned it but it was indeed a song. Ceekay's pillow proves it. :)
What a fun pillow, Ceekay, and what a sweet, thoughtful gift!
Hope you have an enjoyable weekend.
Warmest regards,
Bill
This is as cute as a button... love it! Happy to see you finished this pillow project... the doilies and the buttons make the finished pillow simply adorable! Hope the pain subsides and you start feeling better soon.Praying~Poppy
Glad you felt well enough to sew your darling pillow!
Cute idea! I need to do some crafts but no time right now.

That is just darling. It would be cute on little school girl's bag too! LOVE the idea! xo Diana
Good job! At first I was trying to remember doing that on the machine for you, then I recalled we just did a jpg. ha!
Oh gosh Ceekay!
That pillow is adorable! You done good girl, lucky friend who gets it too!
I hear it's really hot there still, hope it cools down a bit soon!

How very sweet your button pillow is! I'm sure the gift receiver will love it. I loved playing that game as a child.

How cute. I used to play a game button button who's got the button when I was a kid. I had forgotten about that. I like your little glitter graphic thingy - so cute. Hope you're having a good holiday weekend.
Hugs & blessings,

I love the pillow! I think I might be able to do that, (might!). It is so sweet, what a great gift idea. Thanks for sharing it.
Big hugs and warm wishes,

Oh this is so cute! I remember playing that game as a kid . . . you've really put a great spin on it with this adorable pillow!
Well done! I think your cushion is just lovely. Thank you for visiting my blog too. As a new blogger, I really appreciate your time! God bless.
Hi Ceekay, just too delightful for words. I love pillows and buttons so this is wonderful!

Ceekay, that is great hand embroidery, I love it! I am just like you, I can never remember where I got an idea! I always do like you and say let me know annd I will link you up. No one ever comes forward..who knows where a project started LOL! I tried that glimmer mist too and could not get it to work either, I did not see any difference!
Carol
Hi Ceekay, I haven't visited you in a long long time. I was sadden to read of your battle, but sounds like you're fighting back. You will be in my prayers. God Bless.

Adorable dear Ceekay, I love the little button pillow! You're a talented sewer! I was at Marty's and saw the windex tip you gave her to clean granite counters...how do you do it! What Marty uses we can't get it here, but Windex yes. Thanks so much for sharing your post. Lots of hugs sweetie, I hope you're feeling better as of now. FABBY
Ceekay, your button pillow is so cute. Wish I had the energy to get my sewing machine out! There are a lot of project in my head.
O, Ceekay, I laughed at your cute dream of coming to see me. I wish you really could. And, I would let you take all the photos you wanted and would let you put them on your blog. lol
My mother left me an awesome, huge set of BROWN transferware that I gave to my daughter. Funny you dreamed I had some.
I do hope you like the Apple Fritter Bread...we had slices, buttered and toasted, this morning.
I bought 2 packages yesterday cause I like keeping one in the freezer, on the ready...and also am scared to death they will stop making it. :)))
Let me know if u like it.
Hi Ceekay...
Ahhh...I just adore your "button" pillow, sweet lady! It turned out beautifully! Girlfriend, I just giggled when I read what you wrote about how this sweet little pillow took "all the creativity" out of your brain! Hehe! You know, I used to love to embroider. In fact, I embroidered alot of my clothing when I was a teen. I have just gotten away from it but keep thinking that I need to pick it up again. It would be a great way to spend some long, winter days!
Thank you for sharing your pretty button pillow with us, my friend!
Warmest wishes,
Chari
Hi Ceekay, I love your darling pillow, what talent you have. I haven't done any handwork in years, just might take it up again. I hope this finds you feeling ok.. think of you often. hugs ~lynne~
Hi Ceekay,
Thanks for dropping by my blog.
What a cute pillow and whoever gets it will be blessed. I was wondering too if you did it by hand or machine.... It's so sweet!
Cute as a button pillow, Ceekay.:-)
Oh it was me, me, me, NOT! :)
Love the pillow. My mom always suggested we play that when we said we were bored! :)
Ceekay you pillow is adorable!!! Love all those cute buttons!! Great job!
Thanks for the suggestions on my wreath - I think that that may be just what I need to do- maybe make a banner out of the tags or something- Ok now for a little bit more time!
Is it cooling down there yet? Wearing sweaters here now!
bee blessed
