T Tuesday: Monday evening edition

I figured I’d post a bit early since tomorrow I’ll be busy with my final craft sale before Christmas. My mom says that the people in her complex are really excited about it, so I’m very optimistic for a good turn out.

Over the weekend I decided to make another new crafty item just perfect to share on T Tuesday.

Aren’t they cute!?!  This last one I assume would have been a votive candle holder. I’m in love with the pink velvet on it. I’m going to have to make a tea cup one with the pink velvet for myself. I just need to find the right cup.

I put a bit of steel wool inside the batting so the pins get sharpened with use.  I used E6000 to glue the cup to saucer; those babies aren’t going anywhere.

I’m off to load up my van to be ready for the morning.

What are you doing today?

    Ah! These ARE appropriate for T this week. I know that pink felt will find its way into a truly lovely pink cup.

    Good luck with the final sale. I hope it’s as well attended as your mother intimated it would be.

    Thanks for sharing these beauties with us for T this week. As for me, I’m hoping to make at least ONE Christmas card tomorrow. Prototypes take forever.

    Wow never thought to make pin cushions out of tea cups, my mum would say-the saucer is taking up too much room-simple fix, she’s not getting one hahahaha

Did you buy the cups/saucers just for this or do you keep extra for projects? They are beautiful. Hope your staying warm and enjoying the holiday season. HUGS!
