You may remember these from before Christmas...
Bottletop Pincushions!
I made quite a few. They are rather addictive, and quick to put together. But they are a bit on the small side.
So when I saw an aerosol can lid about to go in the bin, I pounced upon it. Then my moisturiser ran out and that had a suitable lid too.
So today I have been making a whole family of pincushions.
I used a couple of vintage embroidered cloths (including the one I am now using as my header) for inspiration for new flowers. And I decided to put a bee onto each one, which I can't believe I haven't done before!
I must apologise for the blurry photos, but our camera really doesn't do close-ups. Don't know why, because it's a good camera! It may have something to do with the operator...
I wonder what you have been up to today?
I love them!!!! x
ReplyDeleteI love them too - what a good idea - and you've made them so neatly. Great! Abby x

ReplyDeleteDo you have a macro setting on your camera, that's the one you need for cloe ups, that and a v. steady hand well a tripod really but I can never be bothered to set it all up.
