Taking a stab at it.
Today I made pincushions. I had never made pincushions before, but I figured if I knew how to make pillows, I knew how to make pincushions. And–lo and behold–my pincushions look a lot like my pillows. Who knew how fun it was to make pincushions? Also, I am officially a firm believer that anyone who has a sewing machine can never have too many pretty pincushions laying in wait to receive pins.
This lil’ bunch of colorful patchwork pincushions are now available in the s h o p, so go and have a look. ‘Specially if you’re in the market for taming your pins + needles!
Next up: a finished knit thing! { hey, don’t look so surprised. }

These are fantastic, who DOESN’T need a pin cushion?
I have a suggestion for your little sewing sweatshop: eyeglass cases! Even though I had Lasik, it might be a cute way to use up scraps!! Don’t you love helpful hints from people who don’t sew?

They are so cute, I want to eat them. Or fill them with catnip and let the babies eat them.

You pushed me over the edge with the adorable pin cushions. I’ve been eyeing one of the pillow covers for weeks, and now I’ve had to order it AND a pin cushion! Yay for more cuteness on the sewing table. Maybe this will inspire me to clean all the things that aren’t for sewing off the sewing table…

Saw these little beauties over on flickr and had to pop over and take a peek at your blog and say Hi

As the proud owner of one and waiting for the second to arrive in the mail I can not believe you never made these before. They are so wonderfully made. I guess it is not fair for me to say after I have bought my fill but you did not charge enough they are so awesome! Big Cartel doesn’t let me leave feedback.
