Craft Circle Day

Well I got a lot done today! My husband Pat stayed home so I could get more work done then normal (and cause he needed a day off too). He ended up making bread, and I ended making all kinds of stuff!

First I started a new pincushion. It's going to be a casino dice (umm...die) with poker chip pins. here are the durings.





I hoping to finish the pincushion part tonight. Then I made some gumdrop pins for the cupcake pincushion.



The cupcake pincushion however did not turn out at all like I wanted it too. But I did post it as a Second.

Sweet Vanilla and Cherry Cupcake Felt Pincushion

I would have put the gumdrops with it, but they looked stupid next to the whipped cream. And I was happier with the gumdrops then I was with the cupcake. So I think I'm gonna make a gumdrop pincushion to put them with. I also finished the leaf and the tomato.

Tomato Felt Pincushion with Three Decorative Sewing Pins

Green Leaf Felt Pincushion with Three Decorative Bug Pins

They came out cute. I like the tomato the best. :) I also did three Halloween magnets.



Halloween Witch's Hat with Candy Corn Ribbon Clay Magnet

Halloween Trick or Treat Paper Bag Clay Magnet

Primitive Halloween Ghost Clay Magnet

I like how they came out too! The hat is my favorite. :) I love the candy corn. And now I think I shall finish the die. And maybe start on the gumdrop? I'm not sure yet.

Too late.

I got a bunch of stuff done today, but it's too late for me to post pics. I did finish the cupcake. I like it. I don't love it, but I think once I do the pins it will be really cute. :) I did get to make the mouse pins for the cheese, and the coffee beans for the coffee. I still haven't decided what to put on the coffee mug, but I'm leaning toward a sun. I want to do gum drops and some other candies for the cupcake, but I need sprinkles or beads or something for the "sugar" so maybe I'll pick so up tomorrow, if not tomorrow then Monday. The tomato is going to get sewing stuff, a strawberry (or a tomato and a strawberry), a spool of thread, and a thimble (or something else). I took some more picks for Amber too. Oh and I started a new pincushion. It's gonna be a leaf with ladybugs and/or bugs for pins. **Mental Note - I need green thread!** Okay, to bed with me!

Later! :)

Done :)

All done tomato! :) Next...pins! I hope...



Later! :)

Yay! It looks like a tomato!

Phew! I was starting to get worried for a minute. But it's actually working! Here is proof!



The little one is my ugly, cheapo tomato. Time to finish!

Later!

Drat!

So it kinda looks like a pepper now. Well hopefully it will look rounder when I turn it inside out.



Back to it...

Drat!

So Craft Circle day was cancelled because the skys decided to open up over everyone's point of origin. Bah! Oh well, such is life. So instead of working on my sculpey mice while the little monsters...I mean children are awake, I'm going to try another pin cushion. I'm honestly not sure how it's going. The cheese had square edges, my newest creation, a tomato, is round. And I don't think I'm going to be able to tell if it has worked till I'm done with it.

And just cause Amber will ask for one anyway, here is a "during" pic.



It actually might end up being an apple depending on the shape when I'm done. :)

Later!
