While browsing blogs this morning, I found that Patti, Jane, and May Britt had posted photos of their pincushions for the giveaway at Blueberry Lane Designs. I'd like to enter too - but there's a story behind mine...
During the Christmas season back in 2001, my son Logan handed me a notice for the Holiday Boutique fundraiser, in which kids can purchase gifts for their family members for minimal prices. They usually have a variety of small tool kits, personalized pens (saying #1 Mom or Dad), necklaces, keychains, etc. I gave him some money, and off he went to school the next day. When Logan came home, he was SO excited! All he kept repeating was, "You're going to LOVE your gift. It's the perfect gift!" Now, mind you, he went shopping early in December - so I had to listen to him say this every day, several times a day until Christmas morning. That's when I was finally able to see what he was so proud to give me:
Isn't it adorable?! Logan just KNEW I'd love it! It sits by my sewing machine as a constant reminder of my thoughtful son. He's turning 12 tomorrow and is still just as loving and caring as he was when he was 5. Happy Birthday, Logan!!

What a sweet story! thanks for sharing :o)
A perfect pin cushion for a sewing Mum! I have a 5 year old too, they come out with the funniest but cutest things don't they?
That was absolutely the perfect gift and how proud he was to give it to you. Something you will treasure forever. Nice to find your blog!
Thank you for sharing such a nice story! I like your pincushion very much.
That is a way cool pincushion!
Oh how sweet is that. :) What a great pincushion it truly is too!
I have been lurking around your blog for a few days, just love it! :) So much so I even have an award for you...it's been around the blogs a bit so if you've already been tagged, then consider yourself really well liked! Lol*

What a great gift - and what a thoughtful five year old! Thank you so much for sharing this story about your son. I think you should win on the strength of your story alone!
How sweet, Kristie, on of those special gifts.
My mom made those for years to sell at bazaars too! What a nice memory you have.
That is a great story and brought back great memories. I still have a "World's Best Mom" hanging in my kitchen from my son's second grade sale -- and he's 29 now! You'll treasure that pincushion for a long, long time.
I LOVE pincushions...I actually think I'm obsessed with them! One day I should take a picture of them all :)
Your TB quilt looks good. I am doing it with a shop and only get parts every 2 or 3 months. I wish Lynette would go back to doing it like 2004.
What are you working on these days?
Where in NJ are you? I am in Lanoka Harbor...exit 80 off the GSP
