I hope it’s hammock weather where you are. It was a beautiful day when I shot this photo. The breeze was blowing and Molly was in her element. Soon, it will be so hot that she will not want to come outside. The heat is too much for her fur coat. The post is sponsored by CALICO.
I wanted some pillows for our new hammock, and I thought I would go for a floral motif. I love the fringe and how it sways in the wind. It really is as relaxing as it looks to swing in the hammock with the breeze blowing, the birds chirping, and the smell of cut grass (compliments of my husband) wafting in the air. When I was trying to convince him to buy the farm, he asked what we would do out here. I didn’t have a good answer, but we soon found out – chores.
A lake house might have been better!
This fabric has the look of a watercolor painting, but it also feels a little abstract. I like the pinks and greens. I like how it reminds me of the grass and hay in the fields. This fabric is called Westerly and the color is Grapevine.
This is the spot where we always hang the hammock. You can see the hay bales in the distance. Beyond the hay bales you can see the neighbor’s barn. Our place is at the end of a private road. There are 3 houses on the road including that barn in the distance. The other house on our road just got new neighbors and we’re excited to meet them. They own some restaurants, so I know I like them already.
If you missed my other country project, below you can see the pillows I made for my French settee. CLICK HERE to see more.
You hammock looks way more inviting than mine! I will have to do something about that!
Beautiful!!!
Love the material!
Love everything about that photo! But I have to tell you, I don’t even see the pillows with beautiful Molly in the scene! Seriously, love the fabric and styling of the hammock. And the beautiful throw? What clever thing did you come up with for that?
Very beautiful! I had a gorgeous hammock with fringe at my previous home, but it eventually tore. Now I just need trees big enough to hang one here. 🙂

Anita,
your hammock and the pillows; placed in that serene setting…….. I can feel the breeze and smell the newly mown fields. But you need that respite after those chores! I can relate cuz I have 16 acres and the pastures never rest until winter. Hubby says we’re either mowing, have just mowed 0r are planning to mow!
Thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas!
Susan
Very pretty and the scenery…WOW!!
It looks so inviting just to rest there and look at the pretty field and the sky.
But the prettiest thing there is Molly for sure . She is beautiful !
Oh! I love your choice of pillows for your hammock. We love our hammock, too.
And guess what? W have two Collie dogs – Shadow and Laddie. They sure would
love to run in those fields with your Molly. She’s beautiful…
Oh she would love to play with or actually herd them!
