Cushions of the week

In the blink of an eye (well in Blogland anyway) I made these cushions. One (the red one) for our lovely friend Kate's birthday and the purple one for our lovely sister-in-law Mary for Christmas....(she doesn't read the blog so if you see her don't tell her). I can't bring myself to cut up the gorgeous silk kimono fabric yet but I'm working up to it.....maybe a bolster so I don't have to cut it too much.
Meanwhile we are getting mighty excited about going to Oz for Christmas. Only 2 weeks and 4 days to go. We stop off in Singapore and Jono (our cousin twice removed that we're staying with) says it's 36 degrees (that's 96.8 for you non celsius gang) every day. Crikey I haven't been 36 degrees for years now. What am I going to wear????? It's been so grey & miserable here that I've got scurvy.....oh no that's the one from not enough vegetables......I've got a vitamin D deficiency then.
