Pincushions...

We had our ScqIllawarra Christmas GTG last weekend and had a pincushion swap.
This is the collection ready to be 'drawn'.
They were all numbered and we drew out a number to get our swap.
 

This is the one I made. I had fun making it. I got the idea from a 'make do' site on the Net.
I picked up the little glass candle holder at an Op shop for $2 and raided my old button collection to fill the glass.
I made a second one in Christmas theme in a 'shot' glass. Not sure where it was when I took the photo.
I have one 1/2 done for myself in a crystal port glass and I have filled the glass with tiny shells - photo later.
I picked up a selection of vessels from the wine glass to an egg cup and a pate dish. It is a fun concept and makes a cute different sort of gift for a 'sewing' friend
