Love the red gingham and love that picture of your sweet girls in the last post... they are gorgeous like their mamma.. xx Julie
Hi Koralee! This is too cute ... I love easy crafts that do a big job!
I wore the pins today, Koralee... My students spotted them right away and thought they were so cool :)
I cut construction paper strips to make Olympic garland tomorrow ! ! ! The kids saw me preparing for this and they are very enthusiastic!
I always enjoy my visits here, Koralee~ Thank you for the sweet moments of joy~
Adorable.
Hope you are having a great week.
Blessings, andrea
Is there anything that you can't do, Koralee. They are so lovely.
It won't be long before the Games start Koralee. Are you getting excited ? XXXX

Hi Koralee
Such an adorable and useful little idea...would make a very nice Valentine giftie for my "secret pal" at work...along with some cute little redheaded sewing pins.
Thanks for the sweet idea.

I'd loving nothing more than to be your valentine ...
thanks for post peeping ...
Oh so cute!
This is a great idea, Koralee! I really am going to go out and get an egg cup now because I love egg cups, but don't eat soft-boiled eggs, but now I have a reason to snatch up a pretty one! You are sucha sweetie! Bisous, Anita
There you go. I know where you got the pin cushion idea, it's too cute and perfect. I'm a firm believer in the thought that if someome follows it's an honest form of flatterie. Wasn't it fun to create this goodie. Just think with all those pins close at hand what you can whip up now. I, for one, can't wait to see you next treasure.
Off to dream about this charmer in your warm hands with your new gloves... It's all about the Red/White.....
Did you have a chance to venture over to the Attic and visit Luc, yet? I know she will soon be on your blog roll.
Off and Running.
You've brightened my day already.

Such a sweet treat!
Only YOU sweet Koralee!
Only YOU!
Oh I do believe that is a song!
"only you...can make this world seem right...
only you...can make the dark seem bright...
only you and you alone...
can fill me like you do...
you're my dream come true...
my one and only YOU!"
XXOOXX
I don't sew very often but I'd still love to have one of these darling pin cushions.
P.S. I love your sweet Valentine-y photos on your sidebar! :)
You must know already how much I love this! Perfect colors and oh so cute, Koralee!

that's a very good idea. So versatile too. I can put my favorite fabric. I love to sew.
Thank you for your comment on my blog. So nice of you. Come say hi again!
Finally something to do with adorable vintage egg cups! Thank you!
So many wonderful ideas over the past few days! I really like the journal idea - may get started on it for my daughters and daughter in law for Christmas gifts! This pincushion is very sweet, too.
Really sweet Koralee. Love the red check fabric.
Wonderful Koralee!! I will definitely be making this since I'm in desperate need of a pin cushion.
