March & a 2nd February

Well, I am loving that little threat from Chooky, that I don't complete a month I can't play along. That kind of lingers in the back of mind all the time. Keeping me on point and on target. I read March's project and thought do I need another pincushion, mmm of course LOL...and I have a birthday in March, nice cushion some good pins, perfect gift.....so I got to it, they were rather quick to stitch, I did 2 in one night, then of course they have be plonked on my desk under all the other half projects that have been waiting for a sewing machine sit in.....yes I like to hand stitch, but it's done upstairs in our house and the machine part is done downstairs - I need to schedule a day for it and this week I have - read all about it on my Blog.



Bugger, I don't know how but I missed Kris's Tip, it would have made my job easier - read my blog to find out my adventures with stuffing LOL

So Chooky, I've completed my second bag, and it's packed and ready for GDITC and you can add 2 pin cushions - love ticking of my list of To-Do's
