A New Haircut and Pillow

So I took the plunge last week...and chopped my hair! I have had long hair for a LONG time, pretty much the whole time I've been married, but before that, my hair was always short. So I decided to go back to my roots :) and go short. It feels so good and bouncy and light. I think it will be short from here on out. Here's a picture:

I was talking to a friend the other day about new throw pillows--I love all the new pillows with textures: ruffles, rosebuds, etc. on them, but they are so expensive!! So I took some inspiration from pillows at Pier 1 and Target that I loved, and tried to recreate it:

I really like how it turned out, and it cost me nothing! I used fabric I already had (old napkins actually) and the white rosebuds are actually strips from one of Rich's old church shirts!
