(I've tea stained the backing fabric...

the original fabric is laying underneath.

You can see the difference better IRL.)

The first prim pyn pillow I filled with poly pellets. This one I filled with crushed walnut shells. I don't think I'll ever go back to fiberfill for pincushions...I just love the weighty feel :) Many thanks to Carolyn for telling me to check the pet store (check the bird area.) I also found crushed corn cobs. They're bigger, but far less expensive. I think they'll work great for larger projects, although I have no idea what those might be, lol ;) The kids saw these bags and thought we were getting a bird, NOT!

And look at these wonderful new additions to my scissor addiction collection.

I ordered these on Saturday from Anita (Anita's Little Stitches), and they were in my mailbox Monday. WOW! Thank you so much Anita for your excellent service!

Thanks for stopping by and adding a bit of sunshine to my piece of cyberspace :) Have a great day!

fabric: 32ct linen, coffee dyed and baked

fibers: DMC (my own selection)

A close up because I'm so happy with the way the fabric turned out :)

And here's the backing fabric...I think the design is perfect for the front, don't you? I also coffee dyed and baked it too.

A close up of the ships...too perfect

(in my humble opinion, lol!)

I'm really loving these quick little projects, they're so fun! In fact, I need to go find another one, lol! Have a great weekend everyone!!!
