When I started to crochet these hexagons...
I had it in my Head that I would make them into a cute cushion for my couch, something like Tif has made for her stunning home...my dream home....

See how incredibly sweet they are, but in my house they wouldn't stay so white, with sticky little fingers abound. But a girl can dream...
So I have a swap due for a Pin Cushion and I have these Hexes and I see the Emma Lamb blog and fall in love with her Pin Cushion Miss Beryl....OMG. so the next think you know its dinner time and Im cooking and decide to pull out my machine and sew up some cotton Hexagons to make the interior of the cushion...
Low and behold I was finished with in the hour and manged to get dinner on the table...never happens.
This is what became of them.
Its the cutest little cushion or Mega Pin Cushion!
Its about 8 Inches across and 4 inches high, do you think thats to big for a Pin Cushion? I have to send it to the U.S not sure weather to keep it and make something smaller?
Either way Im in love and can see more coming! Even bigger...
Looks great. I don't think it is too big, if you can bear to part with it!

Oohhhh I love it so much! I was just sewing and pinning and sewing and thinking about an enormous pincushion that wouldn't disappear under all the crap on my sewing table. That's perfect, clever you!
