Oh Mary! They are just too cute!

On a related note, I have always stuffed mine with poly fill. I just read on a McCall's pattern that doing so will dull your pins! Huh??? Has anyone else heard this? I don't think I'll stop and my pins don't seem to be dull so whaaaaat???

to give them some weight so they can stay put. some folks use sand or nut shells for weight, i use white rice.
