Fold up carriers for my scissors and rotary cutters. Table topper. Zipper bag, my insulin-needle bag was a gift, the ones you buy are always black. Mugs and coasters.

I use my potatoe bag all the time. I have found that is cooks them better if you dont over fill the bag, two at the most and you have to adjust the time for the size of the potatoe. Plus it depends on the power of your microwave. So that said medium potatoes about 4 min for each, larger ones add a couple of minutes and most important, let it sit after cooking for a couple of minutes.

yes, me too, I am grateful for anything. I havn't gotten christmas gifts in years.Well I do get a gift from my mom usually a nightgown and socks. I always hear of everyone exchanging gifts it sounds so fun as long as it don't get out of hand, I see a lot of co workers stress about Christmas, glad I don't have to do that :)
I would be so excited to recieve a handmade gift especially! I think those little snap bags are cute, Also If they are quilters I have seen some very cute gifts made by folding fat qtrs ,like stars and things, then they can use the fat qtr!

I'm always looking for scraps to make my pincushions. Hopefully someone out there would like to trade my beautiful instructions for some fabric.

These cake slices would be cute pincushions.

Yes as long as they have a base that's heavy enough not to move. I find most pin cushions are too soft and need more support, thus adding a base and something else for support.

That I totaly agree with. I find the tomatos roll over I have been using a plastic tray / drawer. I pncushion would be greaat. What kind, color, or print of fabrics are you after?

Playful, colorful, bright, dark, light polka-dots, stripes, something that would highlight the base and add color to the top. If you look at the picture on my site, that's what I like.

Thank you.

I would -- I think that would be a happy addition to a happy season
