my work here is done.
the brief was to make a pincushion for a secret recipient.
when i saw the name of my pincusion pal i knew what to do because i had been a visiter to her blog many times
i found some inspiration here
a vintage sugar bowl purchased too long ago at an op shop
i added some of the things that she holds dear using a needle and embroidery floss
and here you have it!
now it's off to the post office-hooray.
for lovers of pincushions and lovely work there is more to see at the foxy picushion swap on flickr
and a list of players features on the beautiful blog of kate at fox's lane




Wow that is just too adorable! She is going to love it!
