pincushions and crocheting

I received my January Pincushion from Nancy, a two seasoned one.

A cute embellished butterfly on one side

and a winter motif with beading on the back

Thanks Nancy!!

I made these two pincushions recently and sent the blue one to Janne this month

AND this one, it was a new embroidery file I got so I had to test it out!

I have also been crocheting a bit.

I found a pin on pinterest that linked to here

and first I used some polyester yarn I had

which resulted in this

but it was really too small for Anja

instead I went to warlmart and found a cute variegated cotton yarn and remade it and added a little flower. MUCH better!

Love how the variegated yarn made it look like rows

I also found this lamb hat pattern and when I made it I thought it would be too small too because my yarn was thinner, so I did the toddler sized, which ended up BEING toddler sized, so it fit Sonja

She thought it was cute at first but now refuses to wear it!

I also ordered some other goodies that came in the mail.

Some embroidery stabilizer for knit fabrics, some frixion pens AND a lunch box baby quilt embroidery set from IHAN.

I’ve also made some more pincushions but can’t show those yet!

saw this on FB, don’t know if it’s Mrs bobbins or not, but still funny
