Sikes,

I posted instructions on how to make fancy pins in one of the earlier swaps hostessed by Mariposa. You can go back in the swaps page and find them. Several other people added to the instructions. I am so pleased to see so many people adding fancy pins to their pincushions. My sister, sucia, started making them when she felt too sick to do anything else. She was so pleased with her pins that she stayed up all night and used most of my stock of beads. LOL It was terrific to see her enjoying herself so much. Also, we have a stock of fancy pins now instead of a stock of beads. She added fancy pins to her two swap needlecases as well as her pincushions. They are very easy to make.

well, i'm ahead of you on the candy! i ate them both, one right after the other!! yummmmmmy! i suspect they are beyond smooshie now, lol!

i am mailing two needle cases and 2 pincushions today-- especially if i'm at the p.o. before noon! otherwise, monday! but i have lots to mail so want to get it done!! one is going WAY FAR AWAY! and the others, just far away. i will tell them to hurry. ( it never seems to have a positive effect, but i try!

Look what the postman bought!!! Such a lovely needle case and in the most delicious colours of pink and green My favourite!
Thank You so much to 'Kathy' (I don't know your board name) but I'm sure you will recognise the pics.

I am anxiously awaiting next weeks mail hoping it will bring the pin cushion from my yet unknown swap partner. Everything is looking so lucious on here, I can't wait to post a pic of what I receive. Such a variety and a multitude of talent among us. :-) Happy weekend to all.

Hi friends,

Just thought I would let you know momma gave up her battle this morning.

I will be semi off the computer for a few days.

Sorry to hear that news, Louise. Sending you lots of hugs and prayers.

QL - so sorry to hear that. {HUGS} to you and your family.

I received the most awesome pin cushion from lauriejo. I will have to post pics later as I am on my way to yet another baseball game. Love spring, but man it is busy this time of year! I had the most stressful day at work yesterday, so getting the pc in the mail was a very welcome surprise! Thanks again lauriejo!

LOUISE, i'm so sorry to hear the news. Know she is at peace now, and an angel looking out over you.
