Snowmen Pillow

  If I had to pick a favorite type of decor for the holidays it would be snowmen. They always look happy and can have many accessories. They are great for the whole winter season, not just Christmas. I decorate with them after Thanksgiving and keep out them through January. Just love them! 

  I inherited a snowmen sweater 3 years ago after my Nana passed away on Christmas day. She was the most amazing person ever. She was sassy, found the humor in everything and had the biggest heart. And she always was the most flamboyant dresser. Crazy big hats, over-the-top clip-on earrings, the hottest and brightest pink and red lipsticks. 

  There was also the tradition of matching Christmas sweaters for all the girls. Every. Christmas. And to be honest, they were hideous and stiff and just miserable to wear, but it just made her giddy with joy to give them to us. She also had many Christmas sweaters that made noise and lit up. Christmas was her favorite holiday.

  So here it is, the lovely snowmen sweater that belonged to Nana. I love that I have it, but I felt like I needed to do something with it other than let it just sit in the guest bedroom closet. I won't wear it because it's just not my style, but I do think it is sooooo cute! I decided it would make a great pillow that I could display every year for all to see. 

  And this what did with it. I must admit, I had initially planned to make this pillow last Christmas, but I couldn't bring myself to cut it up. It just made me sad to do so. 

  After some measuring, cutting and sewing, I now have a beautiful pillow to snuggle with while I sit to admire the Christmas tree each night. I'm quite pleased with it. It really makes my heart happy to have Nana in the details. Just love it.
