On Pins and Needles

I have been felting and playing with felted wool for a little while now and was asked to teach a class for the ladies in my neighborhood. I had made a tote. You may remember it here. But I felt (no pun intended) that a little more variety would be nice so I made a few pin cushions. Here is a little teacup and saucer. It was very fun to make. I also made this simple one. I like simple.
I am enjoying making pin cushions. I need to finish up one for my swap partner and get it in the mail by the end of the week. Better get off this computer and start stitching. Have a great day!

Those are so cute! The teacup is adorable and I like the other too (simple is good, I agree). Is the red socks?

Very cute! I love felted things, especially in the winter - they seem so cozy!

I really like the tea cup. Very creative.

Both are great. What do you fill them with? I have always wanted to make some for myself, but I really like a weighted ones that won't come along with the pins when I pull them out.

I'm head over heels in love with that pincushion. And I'm happy to see the neat felting you're doing as well.

Cute cup and saucer! I did some felting a few years ago. These cute little pincushions make me want to do some more.

The tea cup is so sweet! I am gradually building up a collection of felted sweaters for projects like yours.
