i have hardly done anything crafty over january. i have knitted a teeny bolero for a friend who is with child but that still needs its border and i can't show you that until i have given it to her - but i think thats about it - a very strange thing for me indeed!
last night i unearthed the pincushion. i made a pencil case for prairie last year and the naughty girl drew in pen, her initials on the outside of it - quel horror! that had to be stitched over.
and some ink got on the outside. they use fountain pens so this is to be expected but was an opportunity to have a play
the box of brads just happened to be at hand so rather than embroider i stuck a few in - easy peasy and a happy customer!
with school going back i am rattling around here today getting used to the solitude. i love having my noisy beasts around but this is nice too. i went out to get the mail and look what was here! prairie ordered it online and i never thought they would post it all the way down here but they did and i am very thankful for that! but i must not sit around all day drinking coffee, listening to the indigo girls and looking at gorgeous magazines!
sounds like you have a wonderful day planned - gorgeous magazines and the indigo girls, what could be better?
your additions to prairie's pencil case are fabulous.
i never wrote on my things with pen as a kid - i was too scared my mom would yell at me :)
i doubt i would have gotten such a cute felt heart anyway...
