Happy Birthday Krystyna!!!!
And many more!!! |
I use crushed walnuts, you can get it at the pet store. They use it for gila monsters or lizards. It's pretty cheap considering you get 5lbs. You can make a LOT of pincushions with that. lol

Happy belated birthday wishes Krystyna; I haven't been on line for a few days and missed your celebration - I had to get the gardens planted.
reeskyler - thanks for the hint to buy crushed walnut shells from the pet store - our LQS charges quite a bit for them and it's worth checking out the pet store for the same thing. You all have a fantabulous day!!! |
LOuise,
The sake cups make great pincushions.I just taught a class on making funky/artsy pin cushions and told everyone to look for things at the thrift store for pincushions including barbie dolls. I use all sorts of things to make the bases of my pin cushions. I use walnut shells for my pincushions as bought a 20 lb bix at Harbor Freight. |

Our Harbor Freight had walnut shells as an abrasive to use use in tumblers, but they seem to have disappeared. But 20 lbs? Great if you're teaching a class, but I think I'll have to stick with poly fill. I would never use the sand from the beach ... too many tiny creatures in it and I think it would eventually stink. UNLESS ... I could soak it in some bleach. Hmmmm. |
Brenda, Miss Daisy is looking slim and trim and awfully cute.
I can't wait to get my SP's name and info. I'm already excited about the swap. |

I wonder if we are related??? Mary Josephine is a family name in my mother's family..she is Mary Josephine, her mother was Josephine...so there is your Joespehine, her Josephine, etc, etc, etc. I was lucky ... my mother was not thrilled with the name ..she still goes by Mary Jo...she named me Sharon Ann...no more Josephines in this branch!

I do not use my first name, I totally dislike the name.

it's the josephine name that is my family legacy not necessarily the mary part. i believe i am the only mary j... though. i was named after 2 family members, my maternal gm and my godmother who was a family related member but i forgot how. we have so many josephines in our history but i am not sure if there are any younger than me now. i will need to look through our family directory to confirm that.
