flip-flops and shorts

I am so fed up with winter.

I am tired of being cold, pale, tired and layered in clothing.

I want to throw open the windows, sit out in the sun with a book and some coffee, I want to walk around the neighborhood and I want to see some flowers and smell the grass.

Is that so much to ask ?

My mother-in-law left me this fabric the other day and it made me think "summer", so I did the first thing I could think of. I made some pillows for the couch. 

I love that there is a touch of pink in the fabric. I can get away with that now that there is another girl in the house. I love that the fabric brightens up the room and makes me happy, makes me feel like flip-flops and shorts are just around the corner.
