Spring Flowers and Pincushions











Both of these pincushions are now for sale in my Etsy Shop here











Spring arrived at the weekend!

Having spent most of last week beavering away with the pink popcorn baby blanket, the weekend was spent working in the garden.

Here are a few snapshots of the flowers in the garden at the moment.









I also made another couple of vintage linen mini-pillow style pin cushions, shown at the start of the post......a pretty 30's feedsack peachy pink one and a pale delicate lilac floral.

These are now both available in my Etsy Shop here, along with a few more pincushions I have listed today.

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend, and thank you for all your comments on my last post.
Have a good week!

    Those are lovely garden pics Gill. It's so nice to have some colour in the garden after the winter months. I think that the pin 'cushions' are such a fab idea!

    Well, these are just beautiful - as usual! I wish I was a sewing person, so that I would have a use for them. Are they kind of lavender bags too though? Yes - Spring sprung didn't it - thank goodness! xCathy

    No blooms in our yard yet. Things are barely starting to come up here in north Texas. Can't wait til they do though. Love your little pincushions. The purple one is so sweet!

    Such beautiful colours in this post. It's wonderful to see some sunshine, I think the flowers think so too as they're blooming away.

    I'm so pleased Spring has arrived! Your garden looks lovely Gill, we've only just started getting daffodils through in ours, but hopefully they will keep blooming for a while yet :)
    Best wishes.

    I love the pincushion, but am oh so jealous of your spring explosion. We are expecting snow tomorrow...again!!! Yikes! Thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving such a sweet comment. I will be exploring your blog - it is simply lovely. ~Kelly
