Excuse me while I chasing a rabbit here... When I was little, I would sneak a hankerchief out of my daddy's drawer every once in a while... unfold it... and using all the pretty stitches Mama B. had taught me, sew along ALL of the folds. Oh... and being so careful to take the time to change the ever-so-pretty color of embroidery thread for each and EVERY 3-inch fold. weeeeeeee. Then sooo proudly fold it back up and sneak it back into his drawer hoping that he would notice the improvements I had made to his man-hanky. Oh me. Bless his heart, he would stick it in his pocket and off to work he'd go....
ANYway... I adore these little pin cushions! They are so petite and charming! ...but best of all, no calories! They are available for purchase in my Etsy Shoppe. I also hope to have some headbands and fabric flower necklaces (shown in earlier posts) listed this week as well.
Thanks for visiting! I'm linking to these parties ...

Aren't those the sweetest! Love it. I remember when I was younger we made pin cushions out of tuna cans in Girl Scouts. We did a craft show and that was one of the crafts that we sold. I thought they were just so cute since they were made to look like a chair with a piece of cardboard for the back.
can you believe i DONT have a pin cushion! id like to think it was because i was waiting for somethng this cute to come along! thanks for sharing!
