Remember this post a while back? My BFF Glynis was inspired by it, and lookie what she made for me!
Isn't it the most precious thing ever? I just looooove the flower petals. They're perfect! Part of the note inside was that she "dropped her feeddogs" for me. Cute!
And then, a friend of mine ( hi Arlene!) recently requested a pincushion and sent me a link to the pattern that was speaking to her. The dahlia! She wanted colors similar to the original, so here's my take on it:
And just because I can, a couple of random shots of other things I've made recently:
Sending you wishes for a joyful day!

Oh my gosh I love the pincushion! I gave myself tendonitis teaching myself to crochet and have rested my arm since January. I'm itching to get back to playing with yarn.

Penny! You've been busy! Love that dahlia pincushion. And, of course, the hexies -- especially the little "Mister Donut" peeking out there!

Lovely post Penny. Are you actually making free cut hexes??? Those are adorable, but I can't imagine how you fit them together!

Dropping one's feeddogs can be quite a stunt to pull. You should be quite honored!

I love your blog Penny. You always have things that make me ponder and think about my work differently. I love blogs but not everyone "stimulates" me the way you do.

I cannot believe you immortalized my creation for all the world to c!! You r so freaky sweet! I thank GOD that u find joy n the simplest things and the humblest efforts! And encouraged that Rachel at Stitched in Color recognized the effort it took to drop the feed dogs and then the willpower, humility, and trust it took to actually put it in the mail to you! So blessed to b ur BFF!!
