What a fun collection of projects Christine and I’m pinning that cake – sounds delicious and looks so pretty!
I’m so glad you shared these, as I somehow totally missed pincushion. For someone who rarely ever sews anything, I seem to have a huge supply of needles and thread. This would be a cute way to store them. As always, you did such a great job!
Keep up the great work!! Fabulous ideas.. To many more in the future.. Anxious to see what 2013 will bring!!
What a great collection of creative projects and crafts. Thanks for sharing, I will be pinning my favorites. Smiles, Paula
You have had a super creative year Christine! I always love to see what you are making, and love the variety of your projects :) Thank you for partying with me too!

So much cuteness all in one place. And so many wonderful colors. Love that pin cushion and the felt ornaments. I had done some felt ornaments a few years back that I recently posted. I wanted to get to making some more this year, but unfortunately didn’t get to it. These you did are adorable. Happy new year!
