sweater pillow.




Oh, how I adored this sweater.  Dave called it my woobie during my office days.  My co-workers saw this thing all too often.  It was so comfy and while it probably wasn't all that flattering I felt like it went with everything because it was neutral.  I once washed it with a neon yellow post-it note in the front pocket leaving a stain but that didn't stop me.  I wore it at home until the stain faded and then started wearing it in public again.  

Oddly, it was one of the few things that survived the fire.  Oh yea, because it was amongst my packed items for our trip to the city.  It was high time to say goodbye to this old friend.  I had put it in my donate pile numerous times but I knew was afraid they would throw it out because any person with sense was aware it was well past its' prime so I always dug it back out.  

While shopping for our new love seat I saw these adorable sweater pillows that were way out of my price range.  Ah-ha!  I could finally stop wearing my 'woobie' while not really getting rid of it!  

Yee-haw!  I'm a happy lady!  And it was super simple to stitch together and I had a pillow insert left I scored for a buck that I mentioned in my frugal finds post.  So basically free and will look lovely on our new love seat!
