It's Friday Fun Day!

And The Tomato Pin Cushion Is A

 Perfect Pattern For Today.

Aren't these pin cushions the cutes thing!

They measure 4 X 5 inches.

They also make fun play food for the kids, 

but leave out the pins and needles!

I have been doing a lot of sewing lately and 

It reminded me of the tomato pin cushion I used have

 in my high school sewing class.

I Loved that thing and decided to crochet one.

I Love it!

I sure hope you do as well.

It's super cute, super fun to stitch up and super useful!

Just because Tomatoes are usually  red,

does not mean you have to make them red. 

Get in your yarn stash and make them any colors

 you like.

Have some fun and be creative.
