Josephine's hair is starting to grow in and it's strawberry blond. So pretty. Last night I made her a hair clip from this tutorial on the Purl Bee. I got to dig out the yo-yo maker for this, plus some pink Kona and wool felt scraps.
She hasn't figured out that she's wearing yet it so it's still there.
I rescued this little milk glass footed bowl from the dump this morning and made it into a pincushion with some brown linen and vintage cheater's patchwork. I stuffed it with steel wool wrapped with wool batting to keep the pins sharp. It's in the shop now. And I'm offering a 20% discount in the shop during the month of July. Just enter JULY2011 at checkout!
I love that you rescue things from the dump. Recycling is so much fun! 🙂

Grass does not grow under your feet!!
The pincushion is wonderful bit of upcycling. I love these kinds of projects. And steel wool?? I would not have thought about that but it makes perfect sense. The hair bow is great but it is totally upstaged by the model wearing it!!
