Well, so none of us noticed that my 150th post has been and gone....
.
I was asked months ago by my neighbour to make a pin-cushion for Christmas for her grand-daughter who loves ballet and has a sewing kit.
(she knows to give me plenty of time to get things made!)
.
.
.
I'm completely useless at following patterns, so after much tongue-sticking-out-to-one-side and head scratching I did get one made:

.
I enjoyed doing it so much, I made another one!

And I'm giving you, dear reader, the chance to win it for yourself!

Just a little something to say thank you for stopping by my blog and reading my inane waffle on a regular basis!

Leave a comment on this post by Saturday 18th October and I'll get boy*jelly to pick a name out of the big pink bowl.

That includes you lurkers....

OK so I have been known to pay the odd lurking visit so I'll own up and say I enjoy reading your blog posts and I adore the little pin cushions. I spend most of my time hanging out in Crafts forum as Janetdc so will get back there right now!

Luv your delicious art form! So very comforting just to look at. And that ab fab old-timey fabric you so lovingly chose for the pin cusion - reminds me of my little old auntie's homemade quilts. She used material from her babies old clothing (in the '40's!.) So sweet!
