Awhile back I bought some very long pins to help with crochet work. They came in a plastic package that, once opened, spilled most of the pins out. There was no sense putting them back, because next time I needed some the whole package would spill again.

So today I made this:

Pretty pincushion and 100 pins

A couple of weeks ago, I decided it was time to make Cricket her very own soft blanket to sleep on. Lucy used to take over every place that Cricket liked to sleep, but now that Lucy is gone, I wanted to give Cricket someplace special. Voilá!

Cricket’s soft, soft blanket – she loves it!

Patterns:
Pincushion: Hooked On Needles (I used worsted yarn)
Baby Blanket: Yarnspirations / Bernat (I used Pipsqueak yarn)
