little porker.

i would like to introduce you to my new little friend. 

little porker pin cushion

Bee a {modern} swapper, a photo by xx Nicke on Flickr.

this is the little pincushion i made for my partner in the swap for the Bee a {modern} swapper swap.  

my partner had a ton of animal pincushions in her mosaic and i just couldn't for the life of me make her an actual animal shaped pincushion... 

it felt a little wrong, like a voodoo doll.  

so, this was my compromise.  

i used this pattern, and i just love him so.  it was hard for me to put him in the package and send him away.  my only consolation is knowing i should be getting a new pincushion in the mail shortly too...  and i have the pattern to make my own.  ;) 

and no, i didn't have the heart to stick a pin in him... she will have to do that, if she dares.
