Hot Air Balloon Pillow

 I made this today to go in the new nursery I'm working on.  The hot air balloon is felt, the "ropes" are yarn, and the base of the pillow is just a basic cotton fabric.  Easy peasy!  

(Except don't do what I did and hot glue the balloon together because your machine needle will have a really hard time going through the hot glue.  At least if you have my machine--what a headache!!)

Hot Air Balloon Beginnings

A couple of things I have been working on.  

Not sure if I've mentioned it or not on this blog, but I'm doing a hot air balloon themed room for my daughter and this new little baby boy.  Here are a couple of the things I've completed for it:

Hot air balloons made out of felt for the mobile.  This was my inspiration.

I've also completed these little scrapbook hot air balloon wall hangings.  I ended up making the ropes thicker, so it looks a little different than in this photo, but you get the idea. :)

I've got a bunch of other little things in the "works," but for now, this is what's done.  More posts to follow. :)
