Mother's Day Pillow

I am finally able to post this pillow that I made my mom for mother's day. I had to wait till I gave it to her since she reads my blog, LOL.
I found this yarn that I fell in love with.



It is Patons Pebbles in the Gemstone color. I did a simple single stitch and stuffed it with a preformed pillow that I happened to have laying around.



The picture doesn't even do it justice, and it is so soft and comfy that my boyfriend, who was the model in the pic, has requested an afghan, so I am making pillow shams and a bedspread for our bedroom. That is gonna take a ton of this yarn. Just this pillow took 5 skeins!! But at a dollar a piece, you cant beat it!! And it didn't take me that long to do it. I could have gotten it done in about 4 hours if I hadn't been so busy the past few days and just sat down and did it, LOL.

The Hooker

My wife, she is a hooker Of this she's mighty proud And the stories of her exploits Are legends in our town. She's shameless with her talents She'll go hooking anywhere And if people want to watch her She really doesn't care. It seems to be a family thing Her mother taught her how Seems her grandma was a hooker And my daughter's hooking now. She goes to hookers meetings To learn the new techniques She starts hooking in a frenzy And won't talk to me for weeks. She doesn't do the house work She doesn't make the beds No! She doesn't have the time for that She'd rather hook instead. My wife she is a hooker And I curse that awful day When she first picked up the hook and yarn And learned how to crochet author unknown
