You set them somewhere and say - 'Oh, isn't that pretty and I made that!!' :lol: :lol: :lol:

Or use them as a pin-cushion .... or for throwing at silly husbands .... or the cats if they scratch the sofa ..... etc!! Lots of uses!! :D

I'm glad someone asked that question. I often wondered what they are used for but didn't want to look silly :oops: :oops: Thanks for the info.

I did about 100 stitches on Decko and really missed making these wee critters!!

This is one of our very own Kell's designs, 'Heart Biscornu' – which I did in variegated purple floss, rather than red and with more of my little amethysts to see how it would turn out. It's really subtle and I love it!! Thank you, Kell!! :D

Mark is, however, getting very concerned that they are starting to breed around the house and said he is feeling like Capt. Kirk and the Tribbles and was becoming scared of opening cupboards (for those who watched Star Trek!) I heard him laughing earlier – and then told me he had left a photo, for me, on the lap-top. :lol:

They look great. I especially like Kell's heart design. Tell Mark to be glad you're stitching those. There will be enough around that when it comes time to chuck something at his head, a nice, soft biscornu will be the first thing at hand. :)

Just beautiful!! LOL on the picture of Kirk with the tribbles/biscornus --way too funny.
I'm going to have to seriously think about doing up one or two of these very soon--especially using Kell's design!! I've got some specialty threads coming soon that may just work up nicely on something like this!! :dance:
