Pins and Egg Cups

My sister in law gifted me with these precious little egg cups a while back. They are darling, but fact is I don't coddle eggs very often. Within the past week I have read somewhere, probably in one of my old Threads, this sweet little hint to store your pins. I love it. Have my basic steelheads on the left, my fave and slender silk pins on the right, and my yellow headed bruisers in the center. We'll see how this works. I like my sewing studio to have some "pretty" aspects. ( Hey, its my world!) We'll see how functional this ends up being. One tip of the pins to the floor and this tip will go the way of  the dinosaurs!

McCoya's bishop is nearly done. The handwork should see it's "finis" today. I can't wait to start on what will be the "Periwinkle Bag", my spring bag, as the next hand project. Yup, it's a hand project because I will weave some sections of it. More on that later. 

CJ muslin report: It occurred to me that I had on a cotton muslin with a cotton knit sweater and the two stick together not giving a clear clue of the fit.I am going to make muslin #2, hopefully today, in a weight and drape similar to the boucle and try it with a silk blouse. I have to get those shoulders worked out as they are not making me happy. Pics to come. 

A big sewing weekend is planned between our celebrations of Valentines and my B-Day the next day. My gift to DH is a gourmet beef dinner, Beef Bourgouinon with Parsley Buttered Noodles. I tell you he is a treasure and still my valentine after 39 years of marriage. Yes, he was my high school sweetheart and is still my sweetheart. Right now he is detailing the bathroom while I head down to the pink cave for the day. He knows how to make me happy. Soooo, as I lilt away to the strains of romantic Brazilian jazz and the scent of Mr. Clean, happy sewing and Happy Valentine's day.......Bunny
