Here are the rest of

the 60 pincushions. I absolutely adore chocolate and cannot have any

of it due to my caffeine allergy. My venture with these pincushions

began when I came across

this Whitman's Sampler Tin. Inside were the chocolate papers. At

first I thought it would be nice to make some little chocolates. But

as you will see none of them turned out like chocolate. However

they do resemble little cupcakes. There are a few chocolate

cupcakes that I did not decorate. A few cupcakes look like their

icing in the middle is oozing out. At least this is what I was aiming

for even though it doesnt resemble it. I think my blanket stitch is getting better.

After I started the first one these little guys it got so addictive that I

couldnt stop making them. I was hoping to use up alot of leftover

laces, ribbons and little odds n ends. That didnt happen. There

is one pincushion that looks like the white didnt go around correctly.

Well I wanted it to look like that. I wanted it to look like I didnt

have enough fondant to cover it. That's one of my fav's. But my

favorite is the little pincushion second to the last. I made it the same

way. This little pincushion is just a little bit bigger than a toothpaste

cap. I would like more of those but I cannot remember where that

cap came from. The last pincushion is suppose to be some striped

candy on top - (from beads). One pincushion sports a little strawberry

on the side. Another pincushion has little pink jewelry beads on top

to resemble rock sugar. I will be making more of these pincushions.

Just be sneaking them in here and there. Really folks - make you

some of these pincushions. You wont be sorry.
