Hello my dear friends,
several weeks ago whilst out "junking" with my younger daughter, Caylagh, found a very neat piece she thought I might like to work with and she was right. It was this nice tarnished tray that has a handle with two hooks - something perfect for me so of course it came home with me. Now I have finished my newest creation and that is what I would like to share with all of you today.
This is the piece my daughter found. I'm lovin' it so much without even touching it.
...and this is what I did with it...
I made a lovely pincushion using old linen, vintage lace and seam binding ...
... and I just had to add a little strawberry filled with crushed walnut shells.
All put together it looks lovely and I am very happy with the way it has turned out.
Sort of simple but then again not ... but just right! My newest creation, a pincushion, sewing helper, scissor holder, pin and needle sharpener ... a "Jill of trades".
I have called her "Jill" and this is what it looks like now! ...
What do you think?
I am already working on another new creation as I am writing this post and I have several others that I am planning and I hope to share them with you in the near future.
Thank you for stopping by today and spending a little time here at Todolwen. I hope you have enjoyed your short stay.
I hope you are well my dear friends and life is treating you kind.
Have a peaceful and creative day.
Why am I not surprised! It is beyond beautiful.

Oh my Karen~ I can imagine the excitement when the 'light bulb' went off to create this! It is beautiful and with that vintage style has so much charm. Thank you for sharing your unique idea for this wonderful piece~ So glad to hear you and your daughter have 'junkin' days : )
