last weekend i saw these at target and had an immediate craftin idea.    im thinking they are suppose to be dipping bowls???  see the angle?  well, for a measly $1.84 i made myself a...........



...................PIN CUSHION!

see how it tilts forward?  perfect for the sewing table.  they are small, so they sit nicely near your machine and projects. 

i dug through some old scrappin' stuff and found a daisy embellishment for the second one.  i can see a million exciting and different ways to make these.  you could put some scrappin letters on the side with the word PIN, maybe some ribbon along the edge, or how about some fun pom-pom fringe? 

all i did was make a fabric circle a few inches bigger than the bowl.  hand stitched around the edge of the fabric, pulling the thread.  then stuff it with polyfil.  once it is full enough, pull the thread very tight and close it by sewing the hole closed by hand, tie it off with knots.  then i hot glued it into the saucer.  DONE.  that simple :)

possibilities----endless.

hours of fun---priceless.
