Just a little something I made

While I was pre-shrinking some fabric on Sunday, I decided I needed a new pin cushion. I made one of these for Nicole a couple of Christmases ago, and I thought they were fun and easy to make. My little tomato pin cushion had seen better days so I whipped one of these up for me.
The pattern I used was from Heather Bailey. She has such adorable patterns and fabric that she designs, go check it out if you already don't know of her.

My little clothes are coming along. I cut out two more items today, and will begin sewing them up tomorrow. I would like to have more pieces before I officially open up the shop. I'm going for a tiny little spring collection of sorts, so there will be lots of sweet spring time colors, and looks. I'm working as fast as my back will let me, so that means that on some days I'm just able to cut, and some days embroidery. I'm still feeling my way around the whole thing so we shall see how this all plays out.
Do you guys want a sneak peek of a couple of looks that I have made, or should I just put more together?
Hope everyone is hanging in there with this long wet, cold, snowy winter.....what projects are you all working on?

  6. I'm really anxious to see those little projects. I'm such a voyeur in those endeavors as I'm not so good in that area. I can, however, embroider but don't because I can't find interesting things to work with.

    I'm sure my son would have been the only one you passed on the street that would be smiling at a little snow!! He always hopes for some when he visits here in the winter.

    Best,
    Bonnie
