Sarah and I have been having fun with swaps over the past few weeks. Our lovely swap partner, Carla, has received our pincushions now so we are able to post some pictures. As we are a team, Sarah and I both made a pincushion for Carla. 
This is the one Sarah made…..
……and I made this little hedgehog (although I think it looks more like a mouse without a tail!), a matching tape measure cover, and needlebook.
Our cupcake swap package has been mailed off so we will post pics when it has been received. We have also signed up for the Childrens Sewing Kit Swap and are busily putting together a kit for our partner.
Sarah and I decoupaged some clipboards after seeing these. I was thrilled to find Mod Podge at Riot.
I have been busy labeling everything in sight in our sewing room using my sticker machine. I have never been so organized!

Well done with your swaps – the things you and Sarah made look great! I am very impressed with all of your labelling – makes me feel entirely inferior with my pile of knitting and sewing bags piled up in the corner of my lounge! Thanks for the link to 30 Handmade Days – what a treasure trove of ideas! x
Cute pincushions! That sticker-maker looks like too much fun!
I am a tad bit envious of your organized craft area. Mine was organized, but true to my form, if it can’t stay as organized as I’d like the area turns into disarray quite fast. Also thanks for the craft link, I’m heading there now looking for a good gift for a birthday on friday.
Lovely pincushions-I am sure your partner was very happy with them. You are so organised-with labels even-Wow!!
Once again, I love everything that you made! I know that your partner will love them as well!
Good job at all of your organizing! I don’t have a craft room, but I have a craft corner just off of my kitchen and I hope to re-organize it within the next couple of weeks! Thanks so much for sharing your ideas!
Oh Lisa you are who I want to be!!!!!!! I dream of labels … thats my problem I never actually get around to making them! I love orgination! Good on you! I love the pincushions and I want to know how you cover a tape measure, how cleaver are you really?! Thanks for the birthday wishes 🙂 the excitement here was fever pitched this morning!
Love your projects!
Thanks for the mention- I’m so glad I found you. You are amazing!
Oh and I wish I was as organized as you. I finally have a craft room and it’s always total chaos. Someday….
cute pincushions and your organized craft room is impressive!
I love the tape measure cover – it looks so perfect!
These look so gorgeous..I’m in love with the little pin cushions that you and Sarah made. I adore the tape cover too, that is a really cool idea.

Your pincushions are so lovely, I love the color of the fabric.
Well aren’t you very well organized, you will put us all to shame!
My problem is that I start of really well organized, then as I am merrily sewing along my sewing room seems to blow up around me, guess I will have to try to be a bit tidier.
Wow what a productive team, am loving your labels they look Great.
cheers

Oh, I love the “hedgehog” and he does look like a hedgehog! The pin cushion is lovely too. But what i really love is the tape measure cover! Its so cute!
The link to Mique was great – some great ideas there.

Oh what an amazing little collection to have put together for my eyes to enjoy. Your hedgehog pin cushion is so cute and I need to learn some organising from you.
The pin cushions are really neat. Looks like you have been making good use of your time. You must be spending lots of time in your sewing room. Have fun.
Super cute! I love the pincushions, Lisa. Well done.
Love your pin cushions…but I’m sorry to say my little man was watching over my shoulder as I was reading your post and he said “wow mummy, look at that cute little mouse”!!! Your new craft space looks fantastic…you must love having a designated area. And I’m loving that sticker machine…must get myself one of those.
everything in your post just looks so lovely – love the pincushions and the other gadgets – beautiful fabric choices.
Your sewing room looks lovely – I have one of those labelling machines – very addictive isn’t it?
what lovely swaps, I love the tape measure cover and hedgehog, they’re adorable!
Beautiful fabric choices as always. I would love a funky cover like the one you made on my measuring tape.
cute pincushions! i particularly adore the li’l hedgie.
your craftroom is the model of organization. wow!
my pussy cat on my knee thought it was a mouse
Lovely Lisa and Sarah partnership!
I love that tape measure cover!!!!
what gorgeous things, and I had a quick look at that link – it looks great, thanks so much for posting it.
I love the pincushions! You can only imagine how much I hope Saga and I will sew together one day. Sarah is doing a great job.
Oh, I wish my craft area was that organized. Yours looks so serene.
Lisa
my oh my! i want a sticker-maker too… Your crafting area looks wonderfully organized 🙂
I am so jealous of your organization, can you come do my house ? ; ) J/k
What a lovely pincushion swap, the recipient must have been thrilled!
You guys have been busy! Everything looks wonderful.
Oooo, cute stuff!!! I love me some labeled bins!!
So glad I found your blog–looks like lots of fun stuff!

I love Sarah’s pincushion! What sort of pins are they? They look great.
The hedgehog pincushion is very cute too… just don’t tell anyone it is a hedgehog… lol
I really do love the tape measure cover. It looks great and I’ve never seen a covered tape measure. Have you seen it done before, or was it a flash of inspiration? Very clever either way!
You are amazingly organised now! Goodness… I am literally leaving the computer right this second to go organise my sewing room… its a disgrace! *blush*
Mouse or hedgehog… whatever, it’s a cutie-pie!
…and I’m LOVING that sticker-maker!!!
I love the hedgehog, so cute!
You guys did a great job on your pincushions and tape measure (a tutorial would be great!). Also, it looks like the clipboards you did were square (they turned out adorable!); where did you find them?
What lovely pressies…..I’m just about to move into my own sewing room perhaps you could come and organise me……I am so impressed with your labeled boxes.
The pincushion, hedgehog and tape cover are adorable!!!
I love that little mouse! I want one…Thanks for all your inspiration.

Wow! Very cute specially the Mouse. It’s very nice.
