Pin cushion stuff.

So there's three days to go til the end of the mega pin cushion swaperama.

120 pin cushions are wizzing their way across the globe.

Have you sent yours off yet?
Have you put some photos on the flickr page?
Have you received yours in the mail?
Have you posted it on your blog?
Are you using it?
Do you love it?
Please tell me I'm dying to know.

How divine is this pin cushion that Sarah made for me?!!
She made it out of the goodness of her heart, I'm not even in the swap.
How ace is she!
Thanks so much Sarah, you have made my day.
I love, love, love love it.

I hope you love the pin cushion you receive as much as I love Sarah's.

Happy swapping. XX

  1. Eeek, don't remind me! You would not believe what has happened to me since I signed up to this.... we had a car accident (car's written off), really bad flu and then something else (which is bad luck to mention this early) PLUS I have been desperately trying to finish off a baby blanket for a friend, but ahh, tonight is the night of the pin cushion... that is of course if I don't get abducted by aliens on the way home from work (considering my last few weeks this is highly possible)!!!

  2. My pincushion is in the mail off to my partner and I am currently loading pics on to Flickr (only sneak peak, don't want to spoil it for her). Still waiting for mine to arrive.
    Thank you so much too Kate for organising this swap and all the time and hard work you have put into it!

  3. What a gorgeous pin cushion! Mine is on it's way, so I haven't posted anything yet. I hope my recipient gets it soon! Why weren't YOU in the swap Kate? I'd just assumed you were. Thanks for all the work you put in to setting it up!

  5. Received, blogged and posted mine off today. Not on flickr though, so if someone wanted to steal my pic from my blog and put it on flickr, I'm fine with that! Love my pincushion too!

  14. I'm so glad you like your pincushion Kate. I just couldn't let you go to all this trouble and not receive one yourself. It's just not right! And it was an absolute pleasure to make one just for you. Have a lovely restful/creative evening.

  19. Mine is just finished, but not yet posted. I hope to get it in the mail as soon as possible as it has a looooong way to go. I had a freak out at about midnight Sunday thinking the posting deadline was the 10th! I’m so excited to see where mine will come from and what it will be like. I have checked out the collection on flikr and am astounded by the skill and creativity of the swappers who are already finished (and they are already finished – what high achievers!).

  26. Oh, how well deserved that you received one yourself after all your hard work. It's so clever and I think it lovely!

    I blogged today about the one I made actually and hope my recipient doesn't look too closely at the bad sewing and instead sees the care and love that went in to it. I've loved doing it too!

Thanks so much for stopping by...

I do read every single comment you leave and appreciate it very much, but I should let you know that I can be a wee bit on the useless side when replying to comments, that's just me, everyday life sometimes gets in the way....so I'll apologise now, just in case.
