Crafty Chica's Empanada Pincushions

Oh. My. Gawd. I was checking out Kathy Cano-Murillo's (The Crafty Chica) Flicker site and what did I see at the top of the photos today?

Empanada Pincushions! made with white felt and a bit of paint.

I think she has out-craftychica'd herself this time. I can't wait to show this to my SIL. It's so realistic looking! I make empanadas every Christmas. My MIL's favorite was mincemeat but I could never bring myself to make that -- I use fruit such as dried apples and apricots. Let me tell you, Kathy's are very convincing!
