Jolly Little Elf

How cute is he?  The good thing is that he was very easy to make.  Everything needed was included in the Just Another Button Company pincushion kit for this cute little Santa. :)  His belt buckle and moustache were a bit straighter, until I started squishing him into the branches of our Christmas tree!

The sheep's in the meadow

OMG!  Look at her fat, round little body!  Too much!  This little pincushion took a bit longer than the bon-bon one.  Her little bunny ears are removable; once Easter is over, she can still be displayed.

I also completed the first block for Lynette Anderson's new freebie BOM, Christmas Fun. You do have to sign up at a participating shop for this one.  You pay for the cute, wooden buttons and receive the chart with it.

(It does lay flat, I just didn't realize that it was sitting a bit odd until after the picture.)

...mmmm....yummy!

Don't they look good enough to eat? :))  Yummy little bon-bon pincushions made out of wool felt and buttons from Just Another Button Company (JABC). 

JABC has a variety of new wool pincushion kits available.  Guess what the latest one is?  A little Sheep!  The kits are a bit pricey.  You do get everything to make the pincushion(s).  The only thing I needed to make these little treats were a needle, some sewing thread and a bit of glue.  You get all the wool pieces, the specialty thread, the JABC buttons and stickpins, as well as wool roving for the stuffing.  This one included the little heart-shaped box.  It is only about 6 inches across.  The little 'candies' are about the size of a chocolate truffle you might buy.  Very easy to make...only took me about an hour and a half, from start to finish!  Love it, love it....yum!

**oh, and no, I don't have a vested interest in the company...just happen to really love my little treats!**
