I next drew on the eyes and eyebrows around the nose.

    Very cute! My 4 year old has me play the Grinch song over and over. He’d probably love this pillow, LOL!

    Oh my goodness, you are so talented, Chas! I was thinking you must have used a stencil for the Grinch but you’ve drawn his face freehand! That’s fantastic! What a fun pillow (love that it has the two sides too!) Thank you so much for sharing and for being a part of the Hearth and Soul Link Party. Hope to see you at the Christmas edition of the party which starts on Sunday 23rd December!
