Pincushiony

This pincushion marks one of my first forays into embroidery. I was able to finish this project pre-Baby for the handmade pincushion swap on Ravelry, one of the best swaps ever! I hope my partner likes it. The side and bottom fabric is from a scrap I purchased, and looks so retro-flowery to me.

Small is Beautiful

I received this beautiful pincushion (plus lots of other goodies) from PoMoGoLightly in the Ravelry pincushion swap. It is such a fun group, all the members so talented and kind; I get very inspired! The pincushions are fun because they are a miniature canvas on which to try new techniques. My first attempts at pincushions for this swap have a long way to go regarding craftsmanship, but I look forward to trying new things in the future. Check out the group on Flickr and be amazed.

And the winner is....

Kelli...who's favorite Audrey movie is Breakfast at Tffany's! Kelli, if you would send me your snail mail address to bibliosophy@gmail.com, I will pop your present in the mail.

A Giveaway - "Tiffany's Box" Pincusion

I've decided to host my first blog giveaway! This lovely Tiffany's box reproduction pincusion (made by me) is up for grabs. So...just leave me a comment with your favorite Audrey Hepburn movie, or if you don't have a favorite Audrey movie (gasp!), then a movie where the Tiffany's store is featured (like Sweet Home Alabama). Next Wednesday (October 1) I'll draw a name and get your little gift in the mail!

I forgot to add my favorite Audrey movie: Sabrina, hands down (unless there's some other one I'm forgetting:).
