Just one more thing!

I have packed one mugrug and goodies package off to Partner 1.  Bye bye little Hoo - have a safe journey and settle down in your new home!


Still wanted a little extra for Partner 2 - so I thought I'd make a little pincushion...


She didn't ask for one I know but I've already made a pouch so just wanted something to go inside.  First of all I made an attempt to make something like a cupcake pincushion...






Didn't quite like it enough so I get to keep that one and soldier on.  I looked for inspiration and it came to me....











I love it and would happily have it back if Partner 2 doesn't like it!  May have to make another one if she does.  Little applique on the front and some of my Dan Stiles fabric ( from the Across the Seas baby quilt ) at the back!  Added a bit of Dan Stiles selvedge as a little label and think it looks cute!


The mugrug and goodies are all parceled up so it is good to post on Monday!






Then all I have to do is wait until they arrive....! Oh and maybe open a parcel or two myself!  Excitement level?  Sky high!

    You could always just pop them through the door, much quicker and cheaper xx
