Way back at the start of second year (I think that's like middle school or something in America) we had a cushion design project in Home economics. Of course, being an AVID moomin fan since..... erm... a LONG time ago-ish, I had to make a moomin cushion.
I used an old pillowcase and appliqued on moomin characters that I made from upholstery samples! Sniff is faux leather!! I really enjoyed cushion..ing and last summer, I made this cushion with my Auntie Mo. You can definately see the difference in ability as I made this cushion from scratch (out of leftover curtain fabric and an embroidered flower from another cushion), but I personally favour the moomin one. Last weekend, I found the rest of the curtainy thing I used for the cushion and used it to cover a pin board to use as a jewellery..thing. The weird thing was, when I photographed the close up of Snuffkin (I love him !!) The camera said "blink detected" CRREEEEPPPYYY!!!

Aaaaw the moomins are awesome! And so is your cushion!
I love Moomin (have a tattoo of Little My on my leg) but I'm born in Finland and these lovely Moomin stories were often red. You can find all info about them at http://www.moomin.com/eng/index.html

AAARGH!!!! My life's purpose is to go to Finland and visit moominland!! I do love me some moomins :) but I would also like to there for the art school too :P Little My is my favourite too (closely followed by Snuffkin but I think thats coz I kinda had a crush on him when I was little :P
Whoa, that is creepy! Creepiness aside, the cushion is very cute!
