I remember seeing somewhere that it had to be handmade and at least 4 x 4. if I can get away with 3 x 4 that would be nice. It will be cute and along the green line.

My michaels didn't have a sale on the beads, but it might have changed today. they got lots of new stuff in in the past 10 days.

In the directions for the swap, this is what it says.

4. The size and shape of the pincushion/needle case is up to the individual creating it, but should not be smaller than 3” x 3”.

That's good to know as I didn't remember reading that. How is sunny Fl today? You better enjoy it while you can. It's been snowing here all day and it's 22 with a wind chill of 3 but that's a heatwave compared to what we've had.

It's been in the high 60's today and in the 70's the next few days. A realtor is coming tomorrow so I can get the ball rolling to sell this mobile. I hope it doesn't take too long to sell but don't want to have to move until it warms up a little up there. My son is really looking forward to me moving. I need to send you a PM. I have a question.

You girls are making a lot of pretty things with beads, etc. Oh I would love for it to be in the 70 's here, but I will admit we had a day or two in the 40's and that was a real heat wave. We are expecting snow by morning, and more so as it approaches Wednesday.

I'm not sure what to make for march. I kinda have an idea of a pin cushion with an attachment. Now does that have ya wondering?....lol. I like the ice cream pin cushion too. I made several of the body form ones out of muslin. Mine I put on a wooden base with a dowel going through the body with a wooden bead on top if it. They were not hard to make just small to sew.I think you also did a good job of stuffing it. Sometimes that makes the difference in how well it looks in most pin cushions. I think we are suppose to get more snow this week also.but warmer by Thursday or so. maybe even in the low 40's.

I just went to JoAnn's today and they had strands of coordinating beads that were on clearance for $1.97. They are usually $7.99. I went to Michael's but didn't get any beads there. Tomorrow I'll hit Hobby Lobby

This is what I received from Klaws today. A lovely needlecase and some beautiful hat pins. And some candy hearts and some yarn. Very nice. Thanks again

I did not do a good job on the bottom of it. The piece I had for the bottom was too small so when I hot glued the fabric onto it there was too much fabric and that glue dries too fast. I bet I got 5" of snow yesterday and today it was 18 but really felt cold. I can't remember when we had a day in the 30's. So cold this winter
