"GIVE A CAREGIVER A BREAK"

I want to start a group called, "GIVE A CAREGIVER A BREAK" Day!!! There is one in every family. The one who is taking care of MOM or DAD or grandparents or a disabled family member. You are not too busy. They are busier with the extra family member/members. Get off your couch and go give them a break. And pay for a dinner/movie or a gift card to go along with a day off or night off while you take over.

Molcajete Pin cushions

These are very simple to make.

You need a plastic salsa dish (molcajete).

Fabric, fiberfill, ribbon, rick rack, buttons,

thread, needle, and a glue gun. 

I used a coffee filter as a pattern. Cut the fabric using the filter.

Then make a running stitch, by hand, on the edge of the fabric.

Pull the thread tight, gatherind the fabric almost into a ball.

Fill with fiberfill. Tie off the thread. Shape and glue into

the molcajete with a glue gun.

Then just decorate with ribbon or rick rack. I used small wooden thread spools and wrapped coordinating thread and glued them onto the bows I made with ribbon.

Add a button and voila'.
