Yea, she likes to do things like that. Heck, there's a bunch that like to bring old threads up to "wet our appetite" lol

Tippy....check out thrift stores. Best place to find teacups.

How freaky is this.....

helped a mate move house over the weekend, and she was about to throw out two teacups and saucers. I grabbed them, they were too cute to biff, but had no idea what to do with them.

Now..... all I need is someone to tell me how these are made! :-)

Oh this is so nice! Are they going to be gifts or sold? I bought a cup and saucer to do this with as a gift, but, the painted pattern inside was so nice, I just gave her the set instead. LoL!

I have seen these made into little night light lamps too. Good for you that you acted on this idea. I know everyone is going to love it.

Have you ever read the book," Making Fabulous Pincushions", by Jo Packman? Anyone who sews would love this book.

So cute. I need to visit my Goodwill. I can always use another really cute pincushion.

We discussed this several years ago. I have some teacups and a bag of steel wool. Now I have to find something for the top of the pincushion.
