Don't my pincushions look so 'purdy' on my sewing table

Sorry, you can take the girl outa Texas, but you cain’t take the Texan outa the girrrl!

And there’s Mum, when I was about a year old, isn’t she beautiful? And Dad and me, taken right before his heart surgery a couple years ago. I talk to him in that photograph you know, like he’s really there. And that’s how he’d listen and smile back at me. There’s the little photo of Moshe and me that used to sit on my desk at Buzz and Bloom that I just got back a couple days ago. And of course my musical toybox. And then there are my pincushions. Perfect!

Have you seen my newest finished sewing project?

Here’s the pincushion I finished yesterday. Do you like it? It’s for my Clover Flower Head Pins that are now due to arrive with my bobbins “before Friday”. If you’d like to see how I made it, here’s a link to the page. This one’s called “Dresses in my Wardrobe Pincushion“. For obvious reasons :) Do you like my little embroidery?

Restless? I have the perfect solution!

In preparation of my new packet of Clover flower head pins that’s due to arrive any yesterday, I need to make another … yes, you guessed it … another P-I-N-C-U-S-H-I-O-N!!

I’m currently pulling out bits and pieces from my fabric cupboard, looking for inspiration. I would love to make a selvedge pincushion, but, because I haven’t been saving selvedges for ages in preparation, it means cutting them off fabric I haven’t used yet, and I don’t feel quite right about that somehow. I’ll see, perhaps my aversion will dissipate if I don’t come up with anything else. I’ll keep you posted!

A little stitching, et voilà.. pincushion!

I love my little pincushion! Thank you Cherri for the fabric, here’s my first project finished. Don’t you just adore that ribbon? And the little button is from a great little bric-a-brac store I found decades ago that no longer exists, except for here, in the centre of my pinchushion.
