Pincushion...









I know...lots of photos, but I am just so pleased with how my pincushion turned out mainly because this stitchery design nearly got put in the bin! But thanks to my Mum and sister on their colour thread advice it all really came together well! My stitchery belt has a little inside pocket to hold small scissors, quick-unpick etc.
I plan to curl up on the couch tonight and crochet some more motifs...I think they would look pretty cute on a hair clip for my Miss 9! Well that's my excuse for making more...lol!

Enjoy your Evening

    What a clever idea having the pockets for scissors etc. Pretty & practical - I love it! So glad the family camr to the rescue, the bin is not that deserving. The hair clips will look so sweet on your little one. Tracee xx

    Your pincushion is just lovely and the crocheted motif just adds the right amount of bling without going over the top.
    When are you going to start selling your designs/patterns???? :) Barb.

    I'm here looking at you pretty crochet and the way you used them on your pin cushions, Just delightful. Then I see you are over looking at mine. I need to try some different shapes once I finish with this lot that have a purpose.
    Yours are truly gorgeous.
