I made this!

The teal/brown bolster pillow. See I have this table runner on my dining room table:

That's just the corner, so you can see the colors. My living room has always been red and brown, and I added golden yellow pillows. When I bought this table runner I wanted to get the teal color into my living room (my living room and dining room have been VERY close together in my last two houses) but I couldn't find that color toss pillow anywhere. So I bought the bolster and fabric and ribbon and made it myself! The lighting is different in the two pics, but they match perfectly.

It's very rewarding! I mean, I didn't miss my calling, that's for sure. No future Project Runway contestant here.

mob hit in the stables?

One of the shepherds on my manger scene appears to be the victim of a mob hit. Check him out. Right at the knees.


Well, a knee and and an ankle. I tried some SupahGloo (that's the brand name in Malaysia.) Didn't take. Not sure if it was chemistry or lack of patience (I didn't wait for it to set.) Any other suggestions? Some kind of plastic epoxy? I inherited the manger scene from my grandmother several years ago, so there's no telling how old it is or what it's actually made of.
