Actually I've received some handmade presents from them, too.
So I also wanted to make something for them, as well.
I have the same style pincushion (which is on the top banner photo of this blog...), and it's very useful, because the wooden cup is a bit heavy, so doesn't move at all when I use pins.
So my mum asked me to make pincushions with this wooden cup for them.
Now my mum is staying here our place for a week, so I made them quiculy to let her bring back to her home.
These two above are for her friends.Linen I used was a bit hard, so couldn't make beautiful round shape, that's pity, though...
And here at the left is for my mum.
I asked her if she would like to have one for herself, she said "Yes, please", so made her this Violet Pincushion.
I knew she would say "Yes", lol
I could made them for about a few hours, it was very fun to make and finish them in a short time!
I have many tiny baskets in my stash, so would like to make small pincushions for my friends oneday!
