Grandma

My Grandmother used to sit in her chair and say the Rosary everyday, she would watch the A's play baseball, cook gigantic dinners for the people she loved, hang her clothes out on the line to dry, and sit with you for however long you needed and let you hold her hand. She would only allow you to tell "white lies", she owned a million house coats, she would laugh so hard that no sound would come out and you would wonder if she was breathing, and even when she was sick you never heard her complain.... unless you were beating the eggs too slowly to make a cake, then she would grab the bowl out of your hand, shake her head and do it herself.

She was strong and smart and I miss her.

Cute Pin Cushion

An easy gift for the crafty one in your life!

Take some fun scrap fabric, I chose different ones for the top and bottom.

Find something round to draw your circle size. I used a cereal bowl but you can do any size depending on how big you want it.

Cut your circle and sew 'right' sides facing each other, leave a small opening to stuff your cushion.
(I used on straight stitch and on zig zag to ensure no holes)

Turn inside out and stuff your cushion. I used supreme fiber fill. Stitch up opening.

Take embroidery thread and a large sewing needle to tuft your cushion. I used and old button in the center for an extra touch of cuteness.

And thats all!

Include in a little basket with some thread and push pins for a great gift for someone you know that loves to sew!
