{teacup pincushions}

I'm slowly getting back to the crafting thing, and I swear, it's like a snowball.  I started, and now I am in a furry of crafting!  I am trying to get some Christmas presents made - yes, I know it's only May.
But, in my defense - I have 3 boys {the youngest of which took his first steps last night! YAY!!!}
Also, it looked like Christmas here yesterday and today.  Woke up to roughly 4" of snow yesterday morning, and then today it looked as though we were in for a May blizzard.  So cut me a little slack, okay? - K.

I found a tutorial over at Martha's.  
The woman drives me batty, but she does find some awesome projects.
Betz White can make just about anything out of felt, I swear.



This is my interpretation of her teacup pincushions.  I think they are adorable.

The bottom one is for my mother-in-law for Christmas (and I am crossing my fingers she doesn't read my blog, otherwise, Merry Christmas in May!) and the top one I haven't decide what I am doing with yet.  It may go to a friend who is just starting out with sewing.  But first I am entering it in the Store Challenge at my LQS. Unless I enter the bottom one.  I still can't decide, and I have to take it in tomorrow.

And can we say cashmere pincushion!?!?  My pins have never had it so good! ha!ha!

    start my own blog in the near future but I'm having a difficult time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something unique.
