Cool! There is thread that does the same thing but I don't know the name of it, sorry.

Cute cupcake, is it a pin cushion?

wendiq 11-11-2009 04:58 PM

It's a pin cushion. I filled it with crushed walnut shells and a bit of stuffing.

Mousie 11-11-2009 04:59 PM

I just showed this to my daughter and she said, "Oh, it's a brain!" Do you think she has been studying too much for anantomy class???

wendiq 11-11-2009 05:28 PM

Wendiq, I love your cupcake! And when someone pointed out that it looked like brains, one of my favorite LOLCATS came to mind. Here it is. I still laugh whenever I see it!

Darlene loves Chocolates 11-13-2009 04:00 PM

wendiq 11-13-2009 04:33 PM

I am in love with those LOLCATS! Every single one is so darn funny!!!

Your cupcake is so cute. I was going to make this for my daughter in laws baby and put a little baby on top and have my theme be sweet dreams, but I couldn't get the cupcakes to stand up good. Where did you get the walnut shells from? Nobody seemed to know where to get them. I tried batting and even put a washer on the bottom but it didn't quite work. Yours is really great.

wendiq 11-13-2009 06:56 PM

I got the crushed walnut shells at the Petco. It is used for Kitty Litter.....go figure!

marla 11-14-2009 07:20 AM

i THINK THIS IS WHAT THEY SHOWED ON THE aLEX aNDERSON QUILT SHOW. IT WAS USED FOR ART QUILTING.
VERY NICE AND SOUNDS LIKE FUN!

kd124 11-16-2009 02:28 PM

That is so cute. Love your brainy cupcake!!! LOL!!

I saw this at a quilt show too. I didn't get any that day and forgot the name. I described it to one of the women at my LQS and she took me right to it. That stuff is expensive. I still want to make my niece a purse using the texture magic on part of it. I just saw a cute quilt that has just a few of the blocks textured.

wendiq 11-16-2009 02:51 PM

Thanks, Kathy......I want to make some placemats that have ice cream cones as part of the design. I think this TM will make adorable "Ice Cream"...

It is expensive, but it goes a long way..........

Quilt4u 11-16-2009 05:06 PM

Looks good enough to eat.

Crushed walnuts are used for lizard litter, you can get a bag at the pet shop , they are crushed very fine.
I use that all the time for stuffing things

Don't know as if they are actually potty trained, it's used in the bottom of their aquarium/cage. Maybe!! A friend of my son's let their big iguana roam the house part of the time----on purpose--just like any pet!! LOL!

My son had an iguana, very small one, which I inherited. They used to use ground up corn cobs for litter. Unfortunately, they discovered that the iguanas ate the litter and it clogged up the works. Unfortunately for Pete and many others, it was fatal. I went through alot trying to pull him through. Oh, and before you ask, no Pete did not roam the house freely. Doug did have a tiny harness and leash for Pete and would walk him. Was a funny sight!!!

Grammie Sharon: Ask at Joanne's, Hobby Lobby, or fabric shop for pellets used to stuff animals and dolls. They would weight the bottom and make it stand up.

DD had an iguana, which she occasionally let roam the house. One day she got distracted (pre internet, probably the phone) and forgot about Iggie. We searched everywhere, on three floors, and never could find him. That was in the summer, I recall. Come cold weather, DH went in the back of the closet to pull out some boots, and found Iggie! Closet back was an exterior wall, cold and dark. Iggie had gone into Iguana hibernation (not what it's really called, but I forget the term). He was alive, but his body was thin, and he had catabolized his tail. Not eaten it off, but his body had broken down the muscle for nutrition. Was all shrunken and dark, eventually the end fell off. Iggie lived many more years, with a shorter tail!! DD is now 40, and still an animal rescuer. Has 3 dogs, 2 cats, 4 rabbits, fish, many chickens and 9 y/o triplets! LOL!

Grammie......the crushed walnut shells are also used as "lizard litter" and you can find it at the pet stores. I did!
