Molly made a mess!   Paint everywhere, just like kindergarten all over again, mixing colors, drawing pictures, it was sheer heaven, creativity at it's best! Any print can be any color, you decide!

Decorate? Why not?

  Spring is in the air, honest it, well maybe not here in Maine, but my daughter called from Texas, and it was in the mid-seventies.  She had the windows open!  God Bless Texas.  You can say that again.

  Well, we really do love Maine, last week I saw four cars with out of State plates, Be still my heart, I know they are coming back, I know they are coming back.  People from away, that is.  We love to see them come and miss them when they go.  Did I mention I was the Vice-president of The Boothbay Harbor Region Chamber of Commerce?   They did not make me say that, honest.


So, if you are from here or away, what better way to spruce up for Spring than PILLOWS?   I have all kinds of them, Pillows that are Blue, Pillows that are new, Pillows that you, will have to call your own.  I love some of the coordinates in the soft teals and brown and the you can't go wrong with a lobster pillow!


The Teal and Brown are especially contemporary.

How much you ask?  Molly made these in Maine.  The pillow inserts are also made by Molly in Maine, yup, that's where I am.  They are an 18 inch pillow insert and the cover has an envelope style opening for easy cleaning and forty four dollars is what I am thinking!

PicAPillow Complete

Beautiful photograph equals beautiful Pillow.  I love the way it came out, the red ticking sets off the dogs perfectly...Need I say more?

It is good to be Molly..



I am in the emotions business, People love their pets, so they love their finished PicAPillows.

Got this photo in my e-mail yesterday!   This is the best part of my job. Look how adorable these dogs are!  Fabulous photo will turn into a fabulous PicAPilllow! These great  photos just arrive in my inbox.  The customer has requested red and white ticking for the borders and the larger size.

I feel kind of like the Guidance Counselor, back to the education theme, the range of emotions emitted are across the board .When the customer receives their pillow whether by mail or picked up locally, they display a full range of emotions.  I have had them laugh, cry, jump up and down and yell out a big "Whoo-hoo". 

Yes, it is certainly good to be Molly.

Dog Days and other forms of alliteration

So, if we keep with the theme of Grammar and the English Language and how it pertains to the PicAPillow and Molly Made this, we might learn something.  You remember alliteration, don't you.  Maybe in fifth or seventh, (thought I was going to say sixth, didn't you?) you were learning how to write a poem, a grown-up real poem,not the roses are red kind of poem. The English teacher, who you loved or hated, taught you all about this.
Examples; Cute, cautious cat.  Boring Bad Brother,  Wind whistling through the willows.  We are definately improving.

When I went to choose the name for the new product I went for the repetitious "p" sounds. PicAPillow. Just sounds good.
 Blog name," m" sounds, well because I am Molly.  Molly Made This. Maybe it should be Molly Made More?  Is there an edit button somewhere?
When I named the new commitee for The Chamber of Commerce, I stuck with the "p" theme again.
 Promote Your Penninsula.  Extra bonus, an acronym...  But, that is another Enlish lesson.

So, moral of the story (I sense a nother English lesson in my future) when you are looking for a new tag line, or Blog title, or name for a product or IF YOU ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO WRITE A POEM, try this illiteration thing, it might just fit the bill.

Just Molly,

  So, my first Post,  Don't imagine I can be too interesting on the first try, got to let me warm up a little.  Been making stuff most all of my life, clothes for my babies, a quilt for my husband, curtains, cookies, cakes, coasters, ...okay out of c's.  This year started with this new product. A PicAPillow.  Get it?  Pic A Pillow.   Turned the noun  Pic, which is short for Picture which really is a noun, into a verb.  You remember verbs, action words usually.  Verbs do stuff.  Run, jump, talk, sew, cook, bake..  So, PIC your pillow.
  You send me the photo, via the magic world wide web or of course the Post Office is still in business last time I checked.  I print it on the pillow. Then do the magic stuff, like the sewing and stuffing, all USA made.  Voila, (French for Tada) You are estatic, I am thanked, you are welcomed, we are done.
