Well, trying to get caught up, which is probably impossible but I will give it a go anyway. Here's my second pincushion, I call her Princess Anastasia, because she is wanted it that way. I know it's a little over the top but it was so much fun to make it was hard to stop. My next one will probably be a ring holder for my daughter. Instead of one long piece of velvet there will be rows of velvet kinda like sausages.
Princess Anastasia has hand dyed velvet for the pincushion section and the shoe is a dark velvet teal. Then there is purple lace all over and the collar is lace stiffened and attached to the shoe. Then I put over 100 rhinestones all over. Isn't she lovely?
So now you are wondering where Sandwiches come into all this? Well, I was reading an article on the internet that says people of my generation, born in the 60's are now being called the Sandwich generation. Why? Because we have children at home, although mine are adults (supposedly) and we take care of one or more parents who also live with us. After I read the article I felt better because I am not the only one out there in this situation. Although I love my family, it can be stressful and difficult to carve a little me time out of all of this. So are there any more Sandwiches out there?
