Canberra Brown Owls :: pincushions & needlebooks

Hello Owls!

I have to be honest - I love all of the bits and pieces that go along with craft!
Some of the handiest accessories for crafting are needlebooks and pincushions, and I've seen so many cute tutorials around the internet lately that I thought it would be fun to try some out at the Canberra Brown Owls May meeting.
