I was procrastinating the blog post about the pincushion I am making... and it turns out I am to write of the one I received first. Yay, I did receive my pincushionS! Yay! Two! How generous is this? And how beautiful? Just imagine beauty multiplied by two! A craft paper package graced by Her Majesty's profiles... package coming from The UK looks interesting enough itself... Now imagine a few turquoise little packages in side... and two pincushions plus flat-headed pins... But wait! Mini, tiny, perfect hexies... feeling so spoiled... And did you notice the owls? On the chocolate buttons and the pincushion?  Oh, and they are both reversible! Happy me :) Well, the hexagons are unreal... OK. Now for what I have made. I sketched a few designs, choose one, started and almost finished the "top" side... and just need to back it and make it all 3D, soft and pin-inviting... I will not actually show it here... feels like stealing part of the attention the package I received deserves... These beauties were made by Isisjem. Thank you!

I changed some pictures today. My most hearted item, that was featured on first page last year and on the Stoque /last week!/  - the flower pincushions in origami boxes - needed some better pictures. So I took some and changed the old ones with the new ones. The Stoque feature   - well it is just a link but it is a happy moment too. I think I will write more about this soon LOL March 18th: Edited to add the "more" here. Well, I think I will change other pictures too. As everything else, taking pictures in great quantities makes you see some room from improvement in the old ones. Yay, it works this way... though it might be terrifying to realize you make 30 pictures of a single object and like 5. You have 5 good so it pays off.  Sure I will not like them pretty soon LOL These pincushion make the best little gift for a sewing person, I think. So sweet! I am using at least four - one for needles and one for pins, than multiplied by two to make a studio and a home set. You can make one or buy one. Either way I think you will make the recipient happy! Every time I make the boxes I feel like having tons of them and filling them with all the little treasures one can think of... It is addictive.
