Say it Ain't So...

Yep, another altered pincushion spoon! This time I used my Wig-Jig to make the top design and sewed it right through the whole pincushion. Along the handle I used the square knot technique on 24 gauge bendable wire, from my Hemp Happy macramé book. Aaaannd ~ say it with me! My Glue Gun is my Friend!

Below is an original post of my sweetie, watching bread being made through the window of my breadmaker. He was a great student and teacher! Happy Valentine's Day Duncan! I love your little bird ways so much. I know that you have a lot to teach me about seeing things from your point of view, and I could kiss your little tummy and beak all day, my sweet sweet baby! This is Dunky in breadmaker wonderland.

What better way to celebrate Valentine's Day than with a Valentine's Day pincushion spoon! This sexy little number traveled from Edmonton all the way to Australia in 7 days, which is pretty phenomenal.  My parcel included chocolate, socks with hearts, a lip-saver, etc. This pincushion spoon was fun and inexpensive to make.  Even though it required the use of my glue gun, the skin on my fingers remained intact!

What more can you say about these epidermis shredding little pot scrubbers! The little guy is made from nylon netting. Whoa! That stuff is difficult to work with! I'm using Vaseline and almond oil + hand creme before I go to bed every night... But it looks awesome. And the other little scrubby was bought and modified.  I actually placed a little wooden ball in the centre.  Sure hope it helps my scrubbie partner to get a good grip when she is using her scrubbie. Ahem... we shall see!

Ok, so I'm wondering if I have an addiction to making pincushions, and if there is any hope for me! My obsession can't be all that bad. As long as the pins stay where they are supposed to...  I had some leftover lace from my Victorian Pincushion, found some tart shells in the dollar store and ran for my material and bag of stuffing!  I got to play with beads and my trusty glue gun too.  Life is good.  It's kind of Christmassy, don't you think?  That's ok. It's going to a friend of mine in the US for another swap. I hope she likes it!
