Pin Cushions!

I've been on a pin cushion kick lately. There are so many cute patterns on the market and they are so quick to make.....I just can't help myself! I made a dozen donuts and sadly I don't have a photo of them. My kids were pretty mad when they realized the donuts were fake! Then I made a couple of pears.......

Aren't t they cute! My youngest son gave these a big thumbs up! He wants me to make the rest of the fruit that came with the pattern: a tomato, apple, and strawberry. Maybe after the holidays and I need a vision of summer.

Then I made some turtles.......



So cute! My middle son thought these were real adorable and wanted one for himself.

Now my big dilemma!! I am doing a Secret Elf Swap with Pat Sloan and I don't know which pin cushion to send my elf friend!!! Which one do you think I should send?

The bottom right turtle because it is xmasy. I love them and the top,pink turtle would be so great for a holiday swap. A swap like one of those crazy chinese gift swaps with lot of strategy and swiping of gifts. Just a thought!

I know I am saying anything, but I love the turtles and the fruit so hard to decide. Just wanted to let you know they are all great. Did you design them on your own or is it a pattern.

Where in nj were you. If it was close to me, we could heve met up somewhere.

would love to drive to maryland one day. So you never know, we just might meet somwhere.
