And some more pincushions!

I had some fun making these. The colors are so wild.

These are my little retro pincushions.

My kids are on spring break this week.

I am waiting for them to get "bored" - cuz there is sooooo much yard work to do! LOL

So far they have been keeping themselves busy!

And guess what else????????

The house is clean!!!!! I don't know yet what they want but they have been picking up after themselves!!! Yeah!

We'll just wait and see what the rest of the week is like! :o)

"May I have some cheese please?"
New Mouse and Cheese Pincushion

I am having so much fun making these little pincushions.

This little cutie mouse is very low maintenance.
He even likes to listen to when you sing!
Little mouse is made out of a vintage upholstery velvet and his "cheese" is made out of a gold with metallic accent cotton.
The little pins are handmade straight pins that have been decorated with a dark red velvet.
The piece is apx 3.5" long and 2" tall (not including mousie) He is apx 1".

There is still a couple of more days before I draw the winner for the chocolate bunny.

A Fairy Mouse Pincushion.

This sweet little mouse is all dressed up as a fairy.

She wears wired and beaded purple wings, a matching neck ruffle and a tiny fairy crown.

The base of the pincushion is made from vintage upholstery velvet and ribbon.

This piece is available in my etsy shop.

These pincushions are so much fun to make. I have ideas for several more.

Two New Pincushions!!

I played all day and finished up these little pincushions.

The first one is a little mouse. Perhaps he is a wizard. He is holding a star wand pin.

The orange fabric is a vintage velvet upholstery fabric. It is the original color. Can you imagine having a couch or chair that color! Wow

This one is my favorite so far.

It is available on etsy

He is made out of the same fabrics as the one I posted yesterday but put together in a slightly different way.

I was asked how big these are.

The bear pincushions measure 4" tall. The bear itself is 2.5"

The mouse pincushion measures 5" tall. The mouse is 3" including its hat.
