Pincushion from Tuna can

This was also something I saw on the internet. It's a pincushion made from a large tuna can. You cover the can with fabric, cut a circle out of more fabric and run a gathering stitch around the edge and stuff with polyfill and pull the gathering thread. I hot glued the top onto the bottom and then glued the fringe on. This was for my orange loving friend and I ordered a small tin box of orange headed pins for her.

New Pressing Table

I saw this on the internet and thought it would be great to have one. It's one of those

wooden TV trays (I found these at garage sales) and drilled 2 holes

in the top for ventilations and put 4 layers of warm and natural and then the

silver fabric they use for ironing board covers.
I stapled it all on the underside. This works great. When I don't need it, it folds up.

I plan to make a covering for it out of cotton with a drawstring to keep

the silver fabric clean and the covering can be taken off and washed.

Giraffe Pillow

I made this pillow for my neighbor. She loves giraffes and thought she would enjoy.

She did.

Purse for Secret Santa

I made this purse for a friend to give in the Secret Santa give-away she is involved with.

I think it turned out beautiful. And they aren't hard to make. I love putting all the different fabrics together.

Christmas Baking

I've been baking this last week. I made over 72 dozen cookie/bars for gifts for friends and relatives for Christmas. I made up 8 of these tins and 1 smaller and still have a couple plates to fill. I had about 9 or so different kinds. I had a good time, but am glad it's done. The extras I have stored in the freezer.

We'll see if I've forgotten anyone.

back in July I helped a friend make these

This is my favorite.

These are for her grandchildren for Christmas.

We did this in July 2011.
