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!

  5. 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!
