knick knacks & ric rac

i found this really lovely embroidered pillow at the thrift store the other day. bunny + acorns!

it matches the livingroom perfectly, and it matches this slipcover i’ve been crocheting for the livingroom chair…

the colors remind me of the california hillside, that ‘antique gold’ color being all that dry grass! like my view from the front porch…

the pattern is called ‘daisies in the dell’, which i found pretty irresistible. it’s a blanket pattern from a 1976 issue of ‘today’s woman granny squares’. i was looking around online for pictures of crochet slipcovered furniture but haven’t had much luck finding examples. have you seen any? have you made one? the chair frame is not upholstered so it’s just a cushion slipcover. so far i’ve finished the front top and bottom. the sides will be crocheted in the gold color, and i’m thinking of using velveteen for the back of it.
