Thanks for the links Brianna!! And YES, I *did* see the ones Hastings has LOL...I hope she joins too

Oh, and I wanted to add that I kept the groups smaller for the same reason the needlebook swap was, because you don't really *need* 8 or 9 pincushions lol, but if anyone wants to be in more than one group, you are more than welcome to sign up for two groups

I'm sorry ladies. Until I get my crumby shipping habits changed and start to get things consistantly out on time I am not allowing myself to swap. I don't think it is fair to others to have to constantly wait on me. Most of you are so very considerate and patient about dealing with me, but I'm tried of being "well, oh yeah, Hastings

" and having to deal with the sick feeling, stomache swirling guilt feeling I get from knowing I am in the wrong. I love pincushions and wish, wish, wish I could trust myself to join. Have fun

mamanaturale · 10-18-2006, 05:32 PM

awww man! I keep trying to stalk you at HC, but i keep missing it!

Hey lady -
Is this wrist pincushions, finger pincushions, table pincushions, or armchair pincushions??
I've got a cool armchair pattern - would that work?
If so, I'll jump in.

Lori, I put you down (as per the other thread). If no one else joins by tonight, I'll just add you to group one, and have one group, or if one or two people join as well, I'll do a spot in both groups LOL
