Homemade Pin Cushions, Robin's and Naughty Kitty.

37 comments
I've been on a roll the past few days.  I got it in my head that I wanted to try making some of the pin cushions that are popping up all over bloggy land.  So, after a quick trip to GW to find some suitably cheap containers I went to work.  I've finished 3 of them so far.  The one above is using a tea-cup I already owned.  All the fabric, trim and ribbons were left overs from previous projects. 

This little teacup was a mere .49 cents. 


I paid a whole 1.50 for this little pitcher

.
So there you have it.  I will giving them as little gifts and plan on making one soon for a little give-away.
Total cost for all 3 was about $4.50. Their not hard to make, they just take a little time. 



We've had beautiful weather this week with highs in the mid-sixties and sunshine!  The snow has melted and I saw my first robins!



And Lily, my naughty kitty, saw her first robins as well!   I guess she is just doing what comes naturally!


And every morning the deer are making their trek down from our woods.  I think they are so hungry and just looking for whatever they can find.  The weather guy just came on and reported we could expect highs in the low 40's and possibly a little snow this week-end.  WAAAA!  Not want I want to hear. 
 I am joining Leigh for Thrifty Thursday.  Go by and say hi and check out all the thrifty ideas!  Thank's Leigh!
And thanks everyone for stopping by!
