Felt Pin Cushion

Surfing around on the web a couple of weeks ago I came across this little felt project for a pin cushion,and could not seem to get it off my mind.Especially since I am always hunting for my needle that I use only for Scrap booking.

I started saving soda bottle tops and decided that maybe it was time to give it a try since the lids were starting to take over my desk.

I can see this little project making its way into some Christmas stockings as a stuffer this coming holiday.
Sorry about the clarity of the photo but my camera is slowly trying to come back to life after a loose wire.

If you would like to try this fun little project you may find the tutorial here contributed by

Maybe now I can settle back down to finish a couple of more classes :)

Stitches & Sketches

Second part of week 2 Technique Classes 101 is all in the stitching.

To go along with this challenge ,I also used the inspiration Saturday Sketch found at the "Sisterhood of Scrap".

Sketch designer is Jodie Kautzner,you may also find some of Jodie's sketches here at http://sketchitout.blogspot.com/.

Have wanted to scrap this photo of my grandmother for some time now-for me it captures my Grandmother's creative side.

She was always working on some project or another and made it a point to make sure her daughters and granddaughters all had some knowledge in the finer arts of keeping house and making it fun.

Thru the years my family have all been recipients of my Grandmothers wonderful craft work.

For this challenge we are to stitch and faux stitch on to our layouts,this is my end result.

Thanks for stopping by !
