Saving the Sofa

 

I find that I can't go long without wanting to return to lovely, lovely hexagons.  There's something about them I just love.  I suppose that's a little strange considering how I started out with them many moons ago.

I still haven't plucked up the courage to make a larger project on the scale of a quilt but I do adore working with them for smaller things.  The ones I'm working on now wil eventually become a seat cushion, but even something quite small like that still takes a good long time to piece together.

I seem to be in the midst of longer projects at the moment.  You've seen my latest one, a nice big crochet blanket, and I have just finished a new quilt too.  I'll show you that one soon.  Then I've started work on these hexagons and a new crochet project, which will some time in the making too I reckon.

In short, I find myself in need of a quick fix again!

Whilst working away, busily covering these bits of paper with adorable fabrics, I've found that I could make use of yet another pin cushion.  I've been sticking my needle in the arm of the sofa so far, which actually does work admirably.  But, as I wanted to contrive the need for a quick project, I felt that a little pin cushion specifically for the purpose of saving my poor prickled sofa would meet the case very well.

I remembered recently having seen just such a cute, tiny and perfect pincushion on one of my favourite blogs, Pretty by Hand, written by the amazingly talented Kristyne Czepuryk.  Kristyne is always making the most gorgeous things and the little strawberry pincushions she made were just what I needed.  Super quick and super cute.

And I'm sure it'll be super handy once I stop procrastinating and start getting on with  my other, less instant, but hopefully no less gratifying projects.
