I made my inaugural trip to Ikea a couple of months ago.  It was fun!  Well, it was as fun as it can be for someone who isn't in the market for furniture but doesn't enjoy window shopping.  

The one thing I *was* in the market for was a duvet and a duvet cover for our bed.  We found the perfect one (on sale!) and so my mind was spinning with ideas for pillows.  In the clearance section, we found some couch cushion covers and my plans started to take form!

Here's what we started with:

(I also had one yard of red, white and black heart fabric on clearance, also from Ikea.)

And here's what we came up with!  

I put in my first hidden zippers, so of course I have to show you a picture!  They would have been more hidden if they matched, but oh well.  :) 

Now I can take adorable pics on the bed, like this:

And Sophia can sit there with a chunk of ham in her mouth not smiling.  Then, of course, I call in reinforcements.  But all she tries to do then is climb off the bed.  Stopped by some tickling, but not for long.  

Then finally mean Mommy let her off the bed and she ran into Daddy's arms. 

How sweet is that?  I'm one lucky mom.  With cute pillows.
