fun with floral...

I've been working on brightening the spare room with a bit of an explosion of vintage florals... 
 
The couch/foldout bed has a very tired looking navy cover which has been dragging me down, I'd throw on some cheery blankets & cushions but it has just been easier to shut the door on it until now.  I found this fitted sheet at the op shop today & it's great with my vintage pillow slips.  A bit of a mismatch of florals but I like it!
 I've also finished this owl cuddle cushion, a special request for a sweet 6yr old...

 
hope she likes it!

    Very clever on both counts! The mismatch of florals works really well.

    Mel, the couch looks fantastic. If that owl is for the sweet little 6 year old I think it is, she's going to be OVER THE MOON! Mel, it is simply the most gorgeous thing you've made. Truly, it is absolutely adorable.
