Cake for my birthday

I made a strawberry cupcake as a treat for my birthday. First time making a cake like this…

…even it’s only a faux cupcake Specificly, a pincushion! This is my 3rd cd casing felt pincushion.

See the whipped cream? I got it from here. Got it from Maya as well. Ohya, maybe some of you didn’t noticed about totebag that I want to give away. Want to try your luck? Simply click here.

…don’t throw it away!

Every time when you buy a bundle of CD and yet finished of using it, don’t throw the casing away. Recycle it instead, like I did..

A pincussion! They can be covered and locked when not use, so it safe when your child plays around. No worries to press down the pin to the limit and even to put them in a bag to mobile them every where. Still can’t figure it out? Here are some more pictures…

A hand sewn patchworked felt pincussion, embellished with small roses and art string.

This fella have simple patchwork pattern. Hand sewn as well, using my old recycled jeans and cotton kind of fabrics.

You know what, I must admit that even though they’re not more than just a very basic, simple and minimum pieces of pattern, I guess this is my first baby step into patchworking arena and quilting in the next (how I wish that!) supervised by books I’ve shown before. So, to patchworkers out there, how am I doing? Please do welcome me to the club…

This love box is quite big, more than enough for my crafting tools. Made from recycled refrigerator’s box sheet. So why don’t dig out your inner creativity and make some. Good luck!
