Making presents

So I am collecting bits and bobs at the rainy car boot sale. None of it is valuable or particularly remarkable, but just little things that have caught my eye for a few pence. And when I get home I wonder what I am going to do with it all.




Lovely bits and bobs

 

 

Christmas is coming, some things can go in my etsy shop, but I do need to start sorting out some presents.




Who lives here?

 

The little boot egg cup is really sweet, but I already have an awful lot of egg cups for when we have a lot of children over for lunch. We have bantam chickens which lay small eggs and I am always looking for tiny egg cups to hold them.

Then I remembered seeing a you tube tutorial for making tea cups into pincushions. I think it was by Debbie Shaw. It was really clear,( and she had a lovely old dog which is why I watched it right to the end).

I was going to fit out a little sewing kit in an old tin for a friend and the egg cup fitted quite nicely. So I looked through my fabric stash and found a fabric that worked and then sewed and stuffed and glued, and finished it in about ten minutes.

Just right for a few pins

Hooray, now I just need to make a quick needle case and get some little scissors and the sewing kit is done.
