I’ve wanted to make a pin cushion for ages and finally took the plunge. I’m so fascinated by the yo-yo’s that Lettie at Polka Dot Pineapple uses that I just had to use one for the centre!

This is the other side with, of course, another yo-yo. I did not do a great job on this at all as I used little bits that I cut up of a cotton batting for the stuffing. Aside from taking next to forever to cut up all the little bits, it was incredibly hard to pull the needle through with the thread to make the divisions! Next thing on my list? Something to use for stuffing that’s a bit easier to deal with!
The yo-yo’s are just too much fun to play with! I can see making more and more things that might require the odd yo-yo or two.
We don’t often get pictures of the boys together. They get along but don’t seem to curl up together. So this is a real delight for us!
