Before I left on vacation last week, I decided to make a pin cushion.
I had a big bowl that I wanted to use . . .
As usual I just jumped in and started cutting and sewing.
Once filled and cinched, it was too small for the bowl.
So I looked around, what could I use for the base?
I saw this very cute ring holder that the kid made me.
She found it on Pinterest, (we are a crafty bunch!)
And Voila!
So cute, it can hold other things in the bottom!
A good collaboration don't you think?
But . . . I wasn't giving up on my bowl yet either.
I took my friend Jessica's advise and made up a little
bundle to take with me to the sunny skies of Fort Lauderdale.
I googled hexie balls, and got something back that
recommended using a soccer ball as a guide.
20 hexies, 12 pentagons,
Crap! I need to draft the pentagons.
Off to get a protractor and graph paper.
Could I even remember how to do it?
Yes, thankfully I have not lost all of my brain cells yet.
My companions squealed, "Math?? but we are on vacation!"
They are funny.
I spent many days by the pool with my Mom, Aunt and Sister.
A true ladies get away, and it was fabulous.
Lots of my favorite giggles.
We went to some very fun restaurants
and met some very fun people!
I wanted to buy this t-shirt, but they didn't sell them,
and the server said someone got fired a few years ago for selling theirs!
Each server had a different hilarious shirt!
They are missing an opportunity!
So now back at home, in this dreary weather,
I stuff my hexie ball.
It's a little too big for the bowl,
but I'm going with it for now.
I found two little wine glasses in Fort Lauderdale.
I think they will be my next pin cushion victims!
Hehe.
