Fun Stuff ....

Marjorie is hosting a pear giveaway

see her post for details:   New Giveaway ...

Do we all enjoy pincushions?   Really?

Beth, blogging at Love Laugh Quilt is asking

people to share their pincushion photos / collections.   

What fun to scroll thru the pictures and visit other blogging sites!

Noticed a charming pincushion with doubles as

a scissor keep.    Here is a link to Alicia's Angelic Pincusion (Tutorial).

Too creative .... take a peek.

On the subject of tutorials .... do you like

Valentine's Day crafts?   Felt projects?

These Tutorials  look like fun.   And, did you see the one

with all the buttons?   Oh my, I'm doomed.

Thank you Laura Howard for your blog, tutorials,

and a peek at your book!!!   

Funness with morning coffee.
