It’s a stump pin cushion!

Don’t feel bad.  I had to explain it to my husband, Justin, as well.  This project came out of Aimee Ray’s first Doodle Stitching book.  I needed a pin cushion (not really) and since I’m poor and I like all things woodland, I tried my hand at this.  I’m sorry that I didn’t take pictures while it was in progress, but I promise to do so in the future.  (I have a baby, so don’t hold me to that.)

If I were craftier, I would have made some little mushroom and leaf pins using polymer clay.  Alas, I am lazy above all else.  I’m also hesitant to introduce those fumes into the same oven I use to cook our food.
