my head is in the clouds …

July 3, 2012 By Linda 15 Comments

… filled with amazing pillow inspiration from the Pillowpalooza #2 link party last week.

 * * * inspiration that will be turned into new pillow designs to sell at my Etsy * * *

Oh … wait.

All you bloggers and Etsy shop owners who linked up thought I was selflessly opening up my blog so you could share your talent, and tutorials (thanks for that), and your wares for sale?

You had no idea that I had ulterior motives?

An evil diabolical plan in place?

An evil diabolical plan that has me trying to figure out how to re-create this numbered pillow shared by Kari at Thistlewood Farms  …

number pillow

… as a new Etsy offering.  I seriously need to practice my zig-zag top stitch technique.

An evil diabolical plan that has me thinking I should offer up seasonal offerings like Maggie at Midwestern Sewing Girl  …

… and Ann at Sutton Place Designs …

American United States Flag pillow cover 12 x 16 Reversible Vintage grain sack zipper closure

I think I see a “boo” pillow in my Etsy’s future …

An evil diabolical plan that tells me Doreen, owner of the Hymns & Verses Etsy shop, is an even more evil genius than I …

Come Sail Away - Nautical Pillow Cover Set with Rope Detail

I can see “Sail” working on it’s own, but the other two?  Yeah.  It’s a package set.  Hmmm … I see some package set verse pillows in the future …

An evil diabolical plan that has me wondering if I should introduce a fabric painted line to emulate these great pillows from Kimberly at Serendipity Refined …

… and an embellished with felt line like this inspiration from Sarah at The Winthrop Chronicles …

… and Meegan at What Meegan Makes …

And one of my favorite finds at my evil-diabolical-plan-to-recreate-and-sell-your-amazingly-inspirational-pillow-creations-at-my-Etsy Pillowpalooza link party?

French Grain Sack Look 12 x 16 Pillow Cover Beige and Blue

This idea to make me very own drop cloth designs co. pillow tags …

Thank you my blogger friend Stacey at Flickerwhips for sharing your made-me-thwack-myself-in-the-forehead-and-mutter-why-didn’t-I-think-of-that? pure genius …

And on a serious note, I’d like to share a larger-than-life thanks to everyone who linked up to Pillowpalooza.  Your creativity is inspirational …

… and not just in the evil diabolical plan kind of way …

P.S.  Here’s my attempt at a feature button … grab the code if you feel so inclined.

    I think you need a pillow that says “Evil Diabolical Plan”. I don’t recall ever seeing one of those.

    I see how you are… it’s a good thing I kept my store bought, totally cheesstatic flag pillow to myself. LOL! It’s still in the bag BTW, that is how far I am from getting a post up about it. Sorry I missed all the fun. Looks like there was plenty without me!
