Woolen Strawberry Pincushion...

Brynwood Needleworks - Woolen Strawberry Pincushion

 

I hope you had a restful and peaceful weekend. The weather was lovely here at the farmhouse, and Handsome, Tag and I enjoyed our time together.

 

I mentioned that I'd completed another pincushion for a client last week. This one is already in the mail, on its way to a new home. It measures approximately 4 1/2" x 8 1/2", and is filled with nearly three cups of crushed walnut shells. (I love a pincushion that doesn't scoot around on my work surface!) 

 

Of course, because I make each one by hand - to order - no two are exactly alike. I may change up the stitches, or the colors may vary slightly. I added buillion bars to the center of the blossom for a little more dimension. I'll probably do that again, as I love the look. 

I have a busy week planned. There are fun and no-so-fun things to do, but will approach every task with a glad heart. Being happy helps make the job easier to accomplish, and really, if you have a choice, why not be happy?

We're waiting for new puppy pictures today, so Tag will have them to share with you tomorrow. It won't be long before we get to go see them for ourselves! I hope you'll come back to see how they look at FIVE weeks old!

Have the happiest of days, my friends.

(Can you even believe it's June 1st?)
