I set aside the unfinished pincushions because, frankly, I was bored by them to the death, and decided to make these penguin pencil holders instead. Aren't they adorable? I still might have to do something about the upper rand, perhaps trimming it a bit, but otherwise I'm very proud of the outcome. The sticking-out wings are a new addition to the design; I believe, though, they'd have looked even cuter with a little heart in the place of their beaks, like here. Ah, well, there's always a next time; we eat lots of canned veggies, after all.
Of course, I intend to make some Santa-shaped pencil holders, too...
