Pretty Pins
Boy, I've been wanting to make some shrink plastic pins since I saw them at Wee Wonderfuls awhile back and I finally got motivated to do it since I want to include a few in some packages I have going out. The bigger ones aren't very practical for sewing but they look cute on a bulletin board ;)
Can you find the bee, the bug, and the dragonfly?
more posies
And, last but not least, a whole rainbow of butterflies. I had a lot of fun with these and was pleased that the detail came out so well. I don't think I'll have to make anymore pins for awhile now :)
my birthday:
July 6...

I have got to make some of these. I assume it is shrinky-dink stuff and colored pencils? I am having difficulty finding the plastic. Hmmm. I am very excited to try my hand. Yours are so very inspiring!

They are all so sweet! I think the ones in the top image are my favorite -- so lovely and flowery.

Oh those pins are so pretty! I want to make some too! (After I finish knitting any one of my 12 WIPs, hem the too long curtains, wake the baby from his nap, chase down the nearly-3yr old....wait, what am I thinking??? I'll just have to live vicariously thru you and your very lovely blog!)
