Felt Hair Brush Pin Cushion
10:33 PM
A hair brush pin cushion.. Yes. :o) Remember my previous post where I was daydreaming about pin cushions? Well, ever since I pinned this one on Pinterest, it has had me hooked. So this afternoon-- armed with two sheets of felt, some torn up batting scraps, a couple of small pieces of card stock (taped together) and some embroidery floss-- I set out to make one. And it turned out like this:
It maybe took an hour, and I just love it. Thank you Pinterest!
Here are some pics of the process:
And now my little tomato is not so all alone. :o)
Cross that off my list of 2012 things to try. It was so much fun, though, I will probably be trying some more.

It is from Phar-ma.com, and there is also a tutorial there.
With pin cushions on the brain, I'm going to go and link up @ MRL's Thursday Think Tank. Can't believe I made something *Pinterest-inspired*. It might just become a habit. ;)
Happy Thursday!
