A person (Son IL) with severe nut allergies in our family, I won't use crushed walnut shells for the filler but use sand instead. Of course did I have any in? NOPE. ; ~/
So a quick run to the local sand pit to obtain some during a little snow drizzle with my flip flops on - check.
Dried it on parchment lined baking sheet after baking blueberry muffins, and other goodies, meals, etc... - check.
Sifted to remove larger bits - check.
Finished pincushion. This only took me 12 days from starting to completion. Was able to stitch it closed and then procured enough heated sifted sand to last me quite a while.
Doing my happy dance and looking for my next focus.
