well as usual..while we were there...me and my nieces (Jasmin and Ariessya) found a lovely project to make....Spring Chick pin-cushion from the latest BHG CC spring 2009...

Jasmin has put her effort in making this chicks...from tracing the templates...cutting...sewing ...and stuffing the chicks....then the group became bigger when...Linda came over to see our progress ...then came A.Ani joining the crowd.....by the end of the day....we make 6 chicks ....

but...my evening does not end there....then came my sis in-law Liza... pestering to make another pin-cushion...still the same magazine as a reference ...she wanted to sew a sweet pin-cushion Sweet Slice...so my weekend end up with these lovely pin-cushions... pink spring chicks, brown sweet slice, bright red xegon and lovely pink square (which i make earlier)....what a day..!
