Gatherings of Goodies, Some Blue, and Some Art for You

This is my gathering basket.
(which just happens to be blue).


For a year I have gathered assorted things to
make unique pin cushions with.



Can you believe I have only gotten 4 done?
Here are a couple.


Pin cushion made from a candle holder.
It is hollow. See the buttons inside?
(sold, can make you one similar).

See the black drawers in the corner?
A little pin cushion/sewing drawers.
(still available)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A little blue for you:
Ava and Grammy after bath time.


Ava and Grandma out for a walk.
( a couple of years ago.)

My only project done this week (besides taxes!)
This is a page from those little prayer and saying books
you see all the time. They are usually a dollar or less at sales.
Even if some of the pages are ruined,
there are always a lot of good sayings and verses to use.




Hope you all have a wonderful Monday,
and will join these lovely blogs on their special day today.

thanks to all our wonderful hostesses.

  6. Such beautiful things you create Barb!! I love all of the different things you've gathered to hold pincushions ~ I found something wonderful to fill them with that gives them a vintage feel ~ bird litter! I went to Pet Smart and they have crushed walnut shell bird litter! I'm going to fill the pincushion and finish off with fiberfill then draw up the thread...Have a wonderful week sweet friend, hugs and love, Dawn
