My weekend FLEW right by but I did manage to create a couple little pincushions. I'm going to have to kick my creating into high gear...two things a weekend aren't going to amount to much for the mid November craft show!
This pincushion is made from a piece of an old tablecloth. I love the pretty blue and all the french knots. The base is an old wooden spool with ribbons and lace trimming it ~ I might add a little button or two.
Here's another tart pan pincushion ~ my first one is here ~ it's filled with a piece of pink chenille from a sweet little baby jacket. The little roses covered the snaps on the jacket. It reminds me of a cupcake!
I'll be making a few more "cupcakes" and also some little gift bags out of the sleeves from the pink jacket. Hopefully I'll squeeze them in this week!
Have a great Monday!!
Oh my goodness...these are C-U-T-E!!!! Kudos on being so original! These will be a big hit, no doubt!

I have to admit, when I saw that pic on blogger dashboard I wondered what in the world that thing was! These are adorable pincushions! I want one, I want one! You do so many amazing things Marie!
