Birthday gift...cupcake style!


This week I made a couple of little cupcake pincushions for some friends' birthdays. Here's a picture of one of them that is headed out in the mail today. It was very "fiddly" aka...I had to start over and then still fiddled with it! However, it does pay to read the directions. Once you've read the directions, apply them and it will come out the way it was intended! I love the little cupcake plate...it came from my mother's house. My mother wanted me to have it, I'm sure, since I was her favorite youngest daughter! Okay...okay...I just lucked out...and brought it home!!

Your cupcake pincushion is adorable!! Amazing how reading the instructions can help with the process...

But my favorite (of course) is the stand. I knew what it was right away!! When I clicked to enlarge the view a big LUMP formed in my throat. Good memories my dear baby sister!! HUGS 4EVER!!

I love the cup cake
I should have more of them in my life--looks like you took the calories out when you made it
Who wouldn't love to receive such a gift
The stand is perfect--just right
Maybe you should keep a cup cake for yourself--
So fun to see the priceless keepsakes. XOXO
