Wow, what FUN!

So it seems that I'm updating again today, since I finished one project that I had started several days ago, and then I made a simple one with the Wee Ones this afternoon that will provide hours, if not DAYS of fun!  So let's begin with the first project!

First attempt at an appliqued pin cushion.  Definitely need to work on placement.  :)

Side view.  I kinda like it!  :)

So this thing was fairly easy to make, even though it seemed to take me forever to make it.  Also, I definitely placed the leaves too close to the center, they should have been further down to accommodate the flower better.  Ah well, live and learn.  Maybe with the next one I'll get more ambitious and add some additional embroidery to the edge as well.  All-in-all, I think it turned out rather well.  Might need to stuff it more next time, this one seems a bit floppy, but like I said, live and learn!  :)

Then there's the project I made today for the kids!  Ooh, this one was SOOO much fun!  I got the idea for them from this great blog, and they kids had SOOO much fun with them!  Here are some pictures to give you an idea of just HOW much fun they had.  :)

Oh, can't you just see the JOY on their faces with these things?  They are quite possibly the best and simplest contraption for fun that I have ever had the privilege of making for my kids!  There's just nothing else I can think of that they have enjoyed more over the last few weeks than this.  It was GREAT!

So that's it for today.  I doubt I'll start another project tonight, but if I do, rest assured it will be on here tomorrow.  :D
