Pincushion Love


Procrastination is my middle name. I am working on a new quilt for the shop, but I keep being sidetracked by all the inspiration on Pinterest. I had to immediately stop all work on the quilt and make one of these.


I followed this tutorial, and had so much danged fun that I had to make another one! Someone please stop me!!


Now, back to work on the quilt. If I can not go on Pinterest, the next post will be my new Ruby quilt.

EDITED TO ADD: There is now a happy little pincushion available in my shop!

    Pinterest is the best site ever. I was tipped off to it a few months back and instantly hooked. Hours passed and I could have sworn it was just minutes. It is a place where you can get lost for hours and enjoy every minute of it!

    These are too darn cute! I can see how they would be addictive. I get that way about things too. Especially small projects. It can be such fun to stack them up! I'm on to knitted egg cozies this week myself ~ can't seem to stop....

    (Oops. I'll try again.) I picked up some colourful papers to try making some cards. Having posted some photos of the supplies, I'm now committed to following through! The thing is, I have no particular previously demonstrated talent, but I'll give it a go! It's generous of you to part with one of your fabulously gorgeous pincushions!
