It’s a mason jar. the fabric is from a pair of old pjs. I stuffed it full of polyfill, plus a little bit of super fine steel wool. Glued it to the lid, stuck it with a bunch of star felt pins, filled the jar with ribbons and voila!
This is my most recent:
Using felt, I made an egg for the egg cup! And of course, the star felt pins! It’s really adorable. It was easy to make. After sewing the felt pieces, stuffing the egg shape, I glued it into the egg cup!

Creating, colorific swap-o-rama, craft, design, inspiration, photos, pin cushion, projects, sewing, totes and bags and tutorials.
It’s been crazy at our house, we’ve all been sick and back again, but we now seem to be much better. I’m now all caught up and up-to-date with my swaps. So, in order:
This was my February Coloriffic Swap-o-rama that I sent:
I received this lovely Winter Bird Embroidery from Vidya
Then I received this amazing March Coloriffic Swap-o-rama package from Rain. It came all the way from England!
I sent off this little embroidery (oh so late…so sorry dear swap partner!)
and I sent this to my March Coloriffic Swap-o-rama partner in a land far far away…..
This swap thing is so addicting. I love it. I love the things I get in the mail and I love sending things. I have a lot of fun experimenting. For example…
I made this egg cup pincushion:
Which I think turned out really adorable, especially with the star felt pins.
Then I made this bag:
based on this really cool tutorial . The way she does this lined bag with a zipper is quite easy to follow. Another way to do a zipper. I *heart* the internet!
First – the fabric, red and white floral that is STRETCHY! It’s a nice weight, will be fun to work with. The ribbons. Oh the ribbons. Perfect for someone who had a little girl and loves to sew. Ric Rac (need I say more?).
A handmade pincushion. It’s so fabulous. (I’ve decided the first of my collection of handmade pincushons – they are so awesome!) Red with white dots and a button center. The flip side is a beautiful white felt with a red button center. Which one to use? Hand painted clothespins. Some of them are decorated with STARS! Cristina did her homework! Beautiful, glowing glass beads with red centers.
A star shaped container of bath gel, floating ball candles and some delicious hard candy – perfect for a night of pampering.
The cutest little red barretts with sweet birds on them, just for Izzy! She loves them! I showed them to her, the next thing I know, one is missing and I find it hours later in her bed. True love!
A sweet little red duckie bank with white hearts, a heart clip (to hold photos of my sweethearts) and a precious cute “woof woof” aka dog keychain.
Izzy loved this package as much as I did. I was lucky to snap this shot before her little hands tore it apart.
Thanks Cristina! It’s a very thoughtful package! I love it!
