I finally brought up the willpower to do some crafty preparations. I cut out the lining for 12 pincushions and also outlined and pinned together the fabric for their outer covers. The idea is to use all those identical hand lotion plastic pots that I didn't have the heart to throw out and turn them into little sewing kits. A couple of weeks ago I had bought some cheap sewing needles and sewing pins at Tedi, and I've got pretty (albeit somewhat useless) little safety needles and a bunch of buttons I can't really use for anything to fill the kits. I'll decorate the pots with bee stickers and label them as "The Little Sewing Bee". That's the plan. We'll see how they turn out. The first step is to make the pin cushions, and I'll be occupied with that for quite some time. But I do have time until December, when the next Christmas fair rolls in.
