A Neat Piece Called "Jill"...


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.

  4. Your daughter has a good eye and knows you well. You, on the other hand, really knew how to rock this out. It's gorgeous!

    Happy junking/creating!
