Here's a post from CasaSugar Community member nancita from the Art(ist)s & Craft(er)s group:
I am not an expert crafter, but I have a friend who is, and she has started hosting a Craft Happy Hour, where she teaches her noncrafty friends to sew, using a different project each month. Food and drinks are served, hence the "happy hour."My first time using a sewing machine ever (!), we made these throw pillows with self-made appliques. I didn't think I could do it, but it was surprisingly easy and oh so cute.

I love the kitschy elegance of Jonathan Adler's "granny gone wild" needlepoint, and I can't resist horoscopes. Needless to say, I need to get my hands on Adler's latest needlepoint pillow offerings.
The 12 varieties of velvet-backed Zodiac pillows ($98 each) feature wool needlepoint designs in fabulous '70s shades.

I can't help but toss a few throw pillows on my sofa. It just makes it easier to relax. Since my sofa is fairly modern, and lacks overstuffing, throw pillows are definitely needed, in my opinion.

A chic throw pillow will give an instant face-lift to even the shabbiest of sofas and chairs. At the same time, you can easily swap out your throw pillows to give your seating a whole new look. As it turns out, you can snag plenty of decorative pillows made from luxurious designer fabrics on Etsy.

There's no shortage of patterned pillows in the world to love, so where do you draw the line? As someone who is drawn to color and pattern, I've always struggled with this. But, I think the answer is simple: go neutral.

I have a tendency to want to hibernate a little when Winter rolls around, so out come the blankets and the comfy throw pillows. I love spending a snowy day curled up under a blanket with a mug of tea and a good DVD.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who indulges in some wintertime hibernating, so if you have someone in your life who's known for cozying up on the couch, give them what they want: more ways to get cozy!

While I do understand that wide belts have been "in" for the last couple of years, I don't think I'd want one "in" my home, particularly on a pillow like this. For those of you who don't speak French, this Z Gallerie Mode Pillow is named "Mode" because that word means "in fashion." Do you think belted pillows are fashionable?

I have a martini- and olive-addicted friend who would love love love these pillows. But me? Not a fan.
