My mom signed me up for a sewing class at Scrapbooks etc. a couple months ago, moms sure know when we need a recharge day to just go and create and have fun :D And if you have not been to see the fabric at Scrapbooks Etc. lately, you MUST GO. If you don't sew, after 5 minutes there..... you WILL. I tried to go there one time to just find purple fabric for an apron for my SIL, and I almost had a mental breakdown trying to pick it out. There was just gorgeousness overload! And its definetly on the pricey side (9 bucks a yard) so you want to get it right. If you're in their system you get 40% one item per month so that helps. Anyway, this is the pincushion I made in the class. I loved how mine turned out, but most of the other fabrics people picked to use were equally cute, although totally different. Anyway, I'm totally in love with this pincushion /attached notions bag, its so handy to put stuff in while I'm sewing, and easy to take with me when I want to sew somewhere else. I can put my bobbins, thread, shears, and anything else I might need instead of having to lug around my sewing box.
It looks kind of small in these pictures but it is actually really big. The puncushion is like 6 or 7 inches across and it is really heavy. I loved making it and I love using it.
I also tried out some Picky Palate brownie stuffed chocolate chip cookies. They were really good, but whoah, sugar overload. They are HUGE and SWEET. Good luck eating a whole one!! But fun to try out.
