I'm so pleased with how this turned out. I'm so tempted to keep it but.... It's available in my shop.
These sweet little pincushions, however, are Christmas gifts. And I still have a little fabric left over. I love this fabric! Anyway, yes, I'm already getting a jumpstart on Christmas since I make all of my gifts. But year after year this takes quite a bit of creativity. And I have a nice long list. So I would love to hear from you some of the gifts you have made, are going to make or handmade gifts you have recieved. Especially for men. Men are hard enough to buy for! So leave me a comment with some of your handmade ideas.
I'm with you... love that color combo! The bag is so sweet! Last year was the first year I made ALL my gifts and for the guys I baked. Gave them great big boxes of lots of different kinds of cookies. This year I have been thinking blankets and quilts. I don't know, well see!

Hmmm... homebrewed beer? My husband desperately wants me to knit him socks. I'm a little afraid of how long it will take me to knit size 12's though! The pincushions and bag are great.

So cute .I love that color combo , always looks so fresh .
I was thinking myself I already need to get started working on Christmas .I don't make all my gifts but I try to make at least one little handmade ornament to go with everyones gift on my list (I bake a lot too) The guys are always the ones that I wrack my brains out trying to figure out , was thinking of making them handmade stockings this year.

Ooo! I really like the new look. Those colors together just are so springy and fun. The heart just makes it. I hope you have lots of success at the MayFEST.
Thanks for wishing me happy anniversary! Hope to meet you soon.

I love that bag AND the adorable pin cushions. Good for you for getting an early crack at the holiday crafting. I should follow your example.

I am in love with that color combo...great bag and super cute little pin cushions! Good for you for getting a head start on Christmas gifts...I still haven't started any. I really need to get started because we're almost half way there! It will definitely be here before we know it :)

Those are too cute. I would have a hard time parting with it too.
You really get a head start on Christmas gifts! That's good. Lots of people make the decision to give handmade gifts but only allow themselves like a month to complete it, so it's good that you're allowing enough time. =]
