Hello you crafty peeps.
Just a flying visit to share a pin cushion that I threw together yesterday using some bits and pieces destined for the bin. Apple sauce jar, strips of paper, a stuffed circle of felt and a ribbon.
Now all my pins have a home and I won't keep on pricking my fingers getting them out of the drawer!!
