Day 4 of PIN IT


I can't believe that today is THE day, that is my day...first off, thank you to both

and to
for cheering us all on to new pin cushion heights... the all star line-up for today includes:


Living with Purpose (you are here) 
Handmade by Mama

And now, for the moment you have all been waiting for (okay, well I've been waiting anyway) I couldn't decide just what to make, so I made several.
 Found these darling little egg cups packed away at my mom's and knew just what to do with them.





 While this one has been seen before, though I had been hoping against hope to be the first to post it, I love this little fried egg from Speckless. I decided to make the white a bit more stuffed just because it gave me a larger area to use for the pins.

Think this egg was "over easy"...

On another group, there was someone talking about making snowballs  for a Christmas gift. Couldn't help myself once I knew I was taking part in the pin it blog hop. A pile of snowballs. They were lots of fun to make!

 

This is my first hop and I have totally enjoyed myself.  Can't wait to see all the other submissions today, but that will have to wait. Have a meeting at work today and I'm trying to work up a modicum of enthusiasm. At least I'll have y'all to look forward to when I get home. lol

Update:
Thank you for all the beautiful comments and for coming to visit my tiny corner of the world. Meeting went well, and I'm just glad it is over and I'm home again :)

    Good to see you join in the hop. They are a lot of fun, aren't they? ( I passed this round and the next to try to get caught up a bit with my other projects but will be back!) The snowballs are unusual. You really were able to match the fabrics in your mom's egg cups well.
