Pin Cushion Swap

I have been busy getting christmas gifts made and sewn together. Along with trying to get my pincushion swap present done. Here is what I have made and gotten to sent to my swap person.

This is the pin cushion that I made. It's made out of a pink silk material with a flower embroidered onto it.

These are the extra items that I sent along with the pin cushion. Pearl pins, candy cane hand cream.


I also made mug matts. Which as mug coasters, that when a hot mug is placed onto it. It warms up, and gives off the scent of cinnamon and nutmeg.

I also made bug pins to go with the pin cushion. Kinda keeping an earthy outdoorist feel to the whole package.

So that concludes my pincushion swap package. It's off to make christmas mug matts and other kitchen wears. Once finished sewing them all together, pictures will be posted.

New Creations

I have been pretty busy with setting up the wedding, looking at house's, sewing, baking and going to school. I have been able to get alot done since the last post. Also, I have been Halloween shopping. Got alot of cute halloween ornaments at great prices. Man, I love this time of year.

I found a cozy kitten pattern on line, to make a little childs stuffed toy. So I went to work and made my friend one for her son. I made it with plaid flannel on the front, and red flannel on the back. It kinda has a creepy face. But she knows that sort of personal touch would be added to it.

I also bought a little boys shirt at the thrift store. So I had to add a personal touch before it was given as a gift. I added a little mouse to the pocket.

I have also gotten a few more things from the thrift store and altered them. The first thing is a black tank top. I added beige stretch lace to the boottom.


Then I got a pink poka dot dress shrit. The sleeves were long and flowing. Kinda like a peasent top. So I cut them off and made then into short sleeves.

I bought a pattern to try out for my wedding dress. It wasn't one that I would ever make again. It's so ugly, that I wouldn't even take a picture of myself in it. I looked like I was 8 months pregant. Not a good thing, when I don't want children.


I also made my halloween costume. I got a black tank top. I sewed on the boa around the shoulders around to the back. Then I made a red skirt to go over a short black crineline skirt.
