Belly Button Pillow

As lots of us crafty types do, I like to give hand made gifts for the holidays.  I have a list as long as my arm of plans and ideas, but very little actual work done!  I also have a couple of swaps going on, and some sewing I'm doing for my local animal shelter.  On Friday night the girls went to bed easily, hubby fell asleep early so we weren't able to catch up on our DVR'd shows and suddenly I found myself with the whole night ahead of me to sew without interruption!  So what did I do?  I started a completely new project, unrelated to any of the sewing I "need" to work on! 

Here's the new project and I am SO in love with it!

The tutorial is from Alexandra at a-squared(w) and I stumbled upon it while doing research for the Pillow Talk {Swap}.  I dug through the scrap bins for fall colors, cut it out and had it together in no time!  I stuffed it and closed it while watching football on Sunday and now it's in its place on the couch.  I really love it!  I needed a fun project like this to get my sewing mojo back, so thank you Alexandra!

I'm adding this to Amy's "Sew and Tell" for this week!
