Pin cakes

This is what I've decided to call the pincushions I've been making since they're being displayed on a cake stand and they remind me of those fancy cup cakes as I said yesterday.  I've adjusted the green one that was starting to look decidedly animal rather than floral and added some detailing to the leaves and added an extra leaf in a different shade of green.  I've also made another two pin cakes, another green one and a pink one.  I've run out of stuffing now so guess I'll have to work on something else instead now!

Here they are, wouldn't you like to take a bite?

Another view of all five...nom nom

Ooooh stop tempting me!

Here's a close up of the newbies:

They're now available on my shop if you fancy one for yourself or as a present for someone!

Pin sticking work

I've been on a bit of a pin cushion making kick at the moment as they're hand sewn, I get to use lots of different fabrics and I get to use random buttons, what more could I want?  They also look a bit like flowers or a fancy cup cake, to me anyway, and thus are displayed on a cake stand as it pleases me immensely.

Three pincushions clockwise from top: one in red tones, one in green tones and one in yellow tones

Moved round to show the red pincushion closest to the front

I've added green leaves to the green pincushion but J thinks it looks like a cat or a pig now, what do you think?  I'd like to put them for sale on my shop but if the consensus is that it looks more like an animal than a flower I will need to do some more work on it!  There are more pincushions on the way as they're so therapeutic...and Fizz keeps wanting to run away with them!  I have relinquished one to her which she sported round the living room like a football, so at least there's more than one use for these if no one likes them as pincushions! haha! ;)
