When I was a little girl, I would pick weeds, (I thought they were flowers), all clinched in my fist, I would give them to my mother, in a vase the little weeds would live, until.. It made me feel good inside. As an adult, I still pick weeds, by picking ugly or castoff item's and creating something nice and useful. It still makes me feel good inside.

Cute Pin Cushion From an Old Candle
I made this pin cushion from a old candle container. Its made of cement coated terra cotta. I used a round styrofoam ball, covered it with quilt batting and then fabric, stuck it in the container with hot glue, embellished it with, a silver thimble, pins and buttons, then added various ribbons and lace. A good re-use of a still worthy item.

ReplyDeleteHappy Easter.
great idea- i think i need to put one in my sewing room right by my sewing machine so the pins won't end up on the floor!
