Is two a party? I guess it depends on who the two are. I remember when Mr. Handsome and I first started dating. Anytime he was around, it was a party for me. Sweet like cake and bubbly like punch. Ahhh, young love. But I digress. I have two pincushions that would like to be part of a party. And what's a party without a gift?
This little pincushion's for you (Leave a comment. I will randomly pick a winner on Wednesday, October 8th):
This one's for the Etsy store:
These are the two pincushions I made last week when I was off-task. I used Heather Bailey's pattern. You can find it here. I am happy to report that I seem to be doing a little better with my focus this week. All six pairs of jeans are hemmed. I am currently working on the baby gifts. One of the bags I am making for a gift is trying to get the best of me. We'll see who wins this battle. I hope that bags knows I am a woman armed with scissors. I'm not afraid to use them. Snip, snip, snip little bag. I just might cut you up. Whew. Thanks for letting me get that off my chest. I feel so much better. (Disclaimer: I am not a violent person, but I think I might be caught in a snit. Gnashing of teeth. Snatching of hair. White knuckles gripping the scissors. It's not pretty. But I'm over it. Really.)
Thanks for being a part of my give-away. And before I forget, Lisa and her daughter are have a giveaway at Spoonful of Sugar. But hurry. Midday on Saturday is your last chance to leave a comment.
Toodles,
Cassie
Both pincushions are absolutely gorgeous! I especially love the buttons! Thanks for doing such a fun giveaway!

I wasn't going to vote cause I do have a lovely pincushion that my sister made me years ago and I've certainly made 1 0r 2 myself over the years...but...Oh this one is so cute!!
I keep thinking about it!
I've saved the pattern to make some as well (at sometime, when I get my groove back), but now I'm voting too!!
I love them both, but the one you're giving away is my fave.
Thanks :o)
