How is your holiday shopping list looking with just a couple of weeks left?
.
Could you use a little help??
If you know of anyone who would like this simply adorable pincushion, with PINcess pins,
you can go HERE to purchase your very own!

These turned out just so cute don't you think???
If you have my Pretty Pinny Pincushion pattern, you can make that cute little peppermint too!
.
The PINcesses have come up with such a cute Candy Cane PINcess set for the holidays.
It is just full of Christmas meaning.
The center pin, the Candy Cane, has significant religious history, a candy maker wanting to make a Christmas candy that had to do with Christ made this candy,
the shape represents the shepards hook, as well a "J" for Jesus.
Next to the candy cane, you will find two hearts, one red which represents the love of Jesus who shed his blood for us, and the white heart represents the pure love of God for sending His only son.
The star is for the Wise men who seek Him.
The Crown, Jesus is the King of Kings.
The circles on each side also have a meaning. The red being that Jesus shed his blood for the world, and the white for the perfectly pure world we would have if everyone would follow in His footsteps.
I thought you might like to see where the needle-felting fed-dish is taking us...
The kids made these really fun charms for their friends for Christmas.
They are going to be so cute accessorizing their backpacks, lanyards, or zippers!

Just a fun story... the penguin on the right is my youngest son's. He made the black circles for his penguin himself. It was late last night, and I sent him to bed without him being finished. The only way I could get him to stay in his bed, was to promise him that I would keep working on the penguin until it was finished. He told me, "Mom, I will just keep my hand open, and go to sleep. When he is done, will you just put him in my hand?"
.
I put on his face and sewed his eyes, and before too long he was finished. I did what he asked, and placed the little thing in his hand, and went to bed. When he woke up this morning, he came running to me, thrilled, and told me how cute he was. He went on for a while about how much he loved him. Then he tells me, " Mom, I just love him so much! I am going to keep him forever. Mom,? When I die will you put him in my hand for me?"
.
Yeah, I am still wiping away some tears! I am not sure if I should be happy he likes it so much, or sad that I will not be around to do so. And if I am,... Oh my!
.
Kids, I wonder if they comprehend some of the things they say!
