What I have here for you today is a new one that I haven't seen anywhere yet, and I think it just may be my favorite so far...
These chair cushion things have been catching my eye all Summer at Superstore. The original price was $2.50. Every time I would go over to see what that great fabric was, I would always find these sad little patio chair cushions with a little 3/4 inch piece of foam inside and then just walk away, thinking "Well, I have just no use for that!"
But then...... they went on sale for 94 cents. And I remembered that I'm crafty and brilliant. And even when I'm not there's a whole world of other bloggers out there who are and who will give me ideas! So I snatched those suckers up lickety-split!
And I cut a little hole in one side and pulled out the lame foam of wimpiness. A little stuffing, some hot glue to seal up the hole and I was done-zo! Or is it spelled dunzo? (Spell-check, you are being absolutely zero help here.)
Now I have a perfect pair of slightly-Summery, but really actually good for any season, snazzy little pillows!
Perfect for this transitional Summer-to-Fall time we're in now. Summall? Fallmer? Sautumn?
Again, Spell-check, thanks for nothin.

Never would have thought to do this...but that's why I follow great bloggers like you, to get wonderful ideas!! But...a glue gun?!? Wow, how different. And I wouldn't have to dust off that sewing machine that is being used as a TV stand in the office! Maybe now I CAN make my own pillows. lol
