I've woken up very early today, even though it's Saturday - and feel sort of discombobulated and not quite sure how to feel better.

The red and yellow cushions here I made recently in a bid to make the lounge look tidy and organised. I made the red one out of an old jumper I was given to do with as I liked -- and you can just about see these old wooden buttons I used down the side, which are actually awkward little sods to get through the buttonholes but look nice now. The yellow one is from an old run of fabric that has lived through various lives -- I think it's a Nina Campbell design, but I did buy it nearly 10 years ago now, so can't quite remember. Finally, the needlepoint is the cushion I promised myself at Christmas 2010 I would get on with -- and I did. I finished it about a year ago, but forgot to photograph it. I like its retro appeal.

So maybe I will now lie on said cushions and try to have a bit more sleep.
