My shows are still many months away, but I’ve been doing some creating…trying to figure out what I want to make for my shows this year. Here recently…I’m really liking a vintage feel to my crafting. It all started when I put the vintage snowmen on old saucers with snowballs for my Christmas show. Ever since then…I’ve been picking up vintage saucers and old silver pieces when out thrifting to put my creations on.
So I made some pincushions with bird’s nest on them…
then I glued it to a vintage saucer…added a painted fabric bird and a little shredded paper for the nest. And off this little birdie flew to a blogging friend for her birthday, but I will be making more of these for my upcoming shows this Fall.
Also going to do some other critters with pincushions like this little bear that is sitting on a vintage silver tray with a mouse pincushion. Not sure, but this one just might be staying here with me.
Love how the sun was peeking in when I took this photo. I’m going to enjoyed this sunny day…because we have another winter storm coming our way this weekend into Monday.
So if you can’t find me this weekend…I will be in my sewing/craft room playing.
Until next time……. blessings from me to you, Cindy

Hi Cindy, These are just precious! Love the idea you have for the pin cushions mixed with the vintage pieces. They will be a sell out for sure.
The teddy is too cute too.
Love your pic with the sun streaming in. Enjoy it while you can right. We have been so cold all week but they say 80 tomorrow.
Have a great weekend.

Wonderful pincushions. I seem to have a thing for them lately. Been pinning up a storm on Pinterest and will be adding yours, too. I’d also use the hearts you posted for Valentine’s Day as pincushions. You are so crafty!
Blessings,

You have inspired me. I need a pincushion and right now just have a ghost I made out of felt in October, but never used. I want to make something cute using the lid of a mason jar.
Thanks for the idea.
