A few finished projects

Sorry it's been a few days, I've had several things going on from having a very sore back to trying to finish a few things I started so I could get them out of the way.  I'm still not ready to make any tutorials yet, but when I'm ready I will be sure to post them.  I've been working on pin cushions and stuffed toys mostly among a few other things that I still haven't finished yet. 

Some of the things I've made are for a few recent swaps I'm in, but I can't give out any details until they've been mailed to my swap parnters. 

Most of the things I've made recently are out of felt.  I love felt it's so soft and so much fun to work with.  There are so many things you can do with it.  For alot of projects I use regular craft store felt because it's cheap and it holds up really well.  There are a few things I wouldn't use craft felt for because it's doesn't hold up as well after many washes but for the most part it gets the job done.

The pin cushions I made are out of scrap fabric that was just taking up space in my closet, so now I don't have the pieces of fabric laying around but I have more than enough pin cushions (ha).  Not sure if it did me any good to make the pin cushions to conserve space, but it was a good idea at the time.  And if I do say so myself they are really cute!!!  Once I started making them I just couldn't stop myself until there were 7.

I suppose I will call it quits for now, but I may be back to post some tutorials I find from some of the many great blogs out there.  Enjoy your day and happy crafting to everyone!!

  5. If your aim was to free up space then you could always give away your pin cushions - I'm sure there'd be plenty of people willing to give them a new home!
