Fruity Pincushions

Mel had another sewing party last Thursday evening! It was so fun! I got there around 5 o'clock pm and left at 1:30 am!!! The group was much smaller this time and we all worked on different projects. Of course I decided to make another pincushion because I just can't seem to get enough : )I need quick satisfaction! Small projects = a happier me! All of us girls covered the strangest of topics and I literally had a hangover the next day from laughing so hard the night before! I intend on making sewing parties a big part of my life while I still live in Tucson! I am so thankful for the best group of friends a girl could ever have : )Thanks Mel for your hospitality!
P.S. The apple pincushion was given to one of my besties up in Seattle (Ricole) ~ she had an engagement party that I was unable to attend and the theme was Apples. Her favorite color has been and as far as I can tell will ALWAYS be Lime Green so the color turned out perfect. The Strawberry one is for me and the Pear is for my parents for Valentines Day ~ they are quite a "Pair" together!

Cupcakes Galore - Sewing Party Pics!

Here's a couple of pics! I finished my pincushion the next day - as I kept stuffing it and stuffing it! But I think it turned out pretty cute! We had a blast, stayed up late, ate cake and sewed! Melanie's house is gorgeous and her fabric room is to die for! Thanks Mel for all your hard work!

Talk about a lot of preparation!!! Thinking back when I used to do Farmer's Markets as a living I had forgotten how long it takes to get ready for a show not to mention the set up and break down!!! I personally think I will do Quilt shows only from here on out but I am so glad I participated in this craft faire just for the exposure : )
Well the craft faire itself was a little slow but I made some great contacts! I met Taylor of Lettuce Truck Babies, Melanie of Above All Fabric and her friend Ariel (whose obsessed with dolls just like me : ), Rebecca of Creeplings and her husband...I think his name was Eric...it was so much fun! My friend Elizabeth came too and helped me sit there to pass time away...of course in my down time I made pins for an order
: )

Pinks & Needles on the Cover!

It's been crazy bananas around here lately! This came a total surprise to me - I had no idea my pins made it to the cover....I was under the impression they were going to be featured in the new products section and also in conjunction with Kathy Mack's (Pink Chalk Studio)Primrose Pincushion pattern. It was scheduled to hit the stands Monday Nov 17th...so I raced down to Hancock's Fabric to snatch me up a copy and they didn't have any : ( Two days later I sent hubby on some errands and he came home with it! He had it opened up so I didn't see the front cover until after I looked through the whole thing!!! I was so surprised to see my little snail pin topper sitting pretty on Kathy's pincushion! Very fun!
