I spent Sunday working around the house, finishing up homework and doing some crafty stuff.  First up I finished this pincushion from Elegant Stitch.  I’m sorry but I just looked and it is sold out.  I could not get the finishing right with the piped edge.  I was so unhappy with how it turned out that I came home last night and ripped it out and put on a twisted cord edge.  I think it looks a lot better.  Sorry for the crooked shot.

Then I started working on a cute bag with some Heather Bailey fabric from my stash.  I used this tutorial.  It is a little crooked but I like how it turned out.  I’m going to make another using a different technique to see if I can’t get it straighter.

Several months ago I was visiting a fabric shop and they had a cute sample of an apron on display.  It is a 15 inch square on point.  Very simple and a cute idea.  I made a small one for my niece and a little larger one for my nephew.

And finally, I had to leave you with two funny shots of one of our cats, Sammy.  The first made me think he was in trouble, giving himself a timeout.  The second shows you how big he is.  I came back to my sewing area to find him sitting on my sewing machine table.
