Not Every Lid Needs A Pot ..

Hello my dear friends,

I told you it wouldn't be too long before I would be sharing my newest creation with all of you and that is what I am doing today.

There is an old German saying ... "Jeder Topf findet seinen Deckel".

(Translated ... "Every pot will find it's lid".)

The meaning behind this quote is that there is a matching counterpart for everyone and everything out there and therefore a happy ending. But at times a counterpart is something that is maybe not always needed. This little tarnished lid doesn't need to find 'it's pot' for a happy ending. Instead it found a new purpose and it is a perfect one for it.

I had recently bought some very nice fabric which was a type of linen. It looks so rustic and the color was just so perfect too. It actually almost looks like very fine sacking material and I just had to use it for this creation.

I also couldn't resist making some more of my little gathered seam binding frill and I am so happy I did. It just gives this creation that extra little something ...

... and looks so lovely.

Some things just go so well together ... like cookies and milk or marshmallows and a campfire.
And that was the case for the tarnished lid with the seam binding frill and linen fabric. They harmonize so nicely.

And here is my newest creation, my newest pincushion. I named it ...

... 'Happy Ending'.

Again with this creation, less is more and that is why I didn't do anything to the outside of the lid. It wouldn't have only covered up the beauty of the ornate handle.

I am very happy with the outcome of this creation and I hope you have enjoyed it too. Knowing me,  I am sure it won't be too long before I will make another pincushion again.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by here at Todolwen and I hope you will visit me here again some time soon.

I hope you are well my dear friends and life is treating you kind.

Have a peaceful and creative day.
