Hello everyone,
Spring has arrived, brightening everything up, makes you want to ditch the winter colours in your home and bring in some bright colourful additions
You can make small changes without breaking the bank by replacing a few cushions here and there and maybe add a bit of fun too.
That's why I decided to write this blog about cushions.
A new cushion can add just that splash of colour your room needs to revive it.
If you have a ball or two of yarn and an old cushion, you can use the filler to stuff your new gorgeous cushion made by you!
