today was a happy mail day! i got my order from superbuzzy. i really just wanted the cotton time mag, but since i was ordering i figured i might as well get some yummy fabric too. i was good tho and only bought two half yards. i cant wait to use it, its too darn cute. oh, the issue is may 2009, in case you want to buy it. it has some really adorable projects.
i am planning on fussy cutting into the little word squares. but i dont have a particular project in mind yet. that kitchen print just makes me want to squeal.

i have been on a pincushion binge, as i needed to make one for a co-worker to give to her mom, and a few others for swaps, so i figured as long as i am making them i might as well make a bunch. the top left one i used vintage upholstery velvet for the flower.....i think i really like the look. the fabric is sherry berry christmas. i think its the bees knees, dont you? vintage buttons too, of course!
oh i almost forgot!! do you like the new header???

Love those pincushions, I keep seeing them on blogs and yet can't quite figure out how to make them. I like the little added embelishments you put into them.

Thanks for the heads up about your new blog. Love the fabric from superbuzzy. I have some of that new sherry berry fabric - I bought some yardage and the charm pack cause I couldn't decide which I like best.
