Whether or not it is necessary, which is certainly debatable, I made a new pincushion today. Like wearing clean underwear when you go to the doctor, I felt it would be nice to have some fresh supplies ready for the photo shoot for my book. So, I dragged myself over to the hardware store and the craft store this morning and got new glass-headed pins (the kind that aren't bent!) and new pliers (without rust!) and the like. And when I came home I forced myself to make this new pincushion. I love the selvedge edge of linen and I'm always happy to include it in a project. And vintage glass buttons. Okay, now I back to real work.
It’s lovely. And I totally understand that you needed to make a new pincushion. Ofcourse you had to! Goodluck with your work.
I love how you said you “freshened” by going to the hardware store!
I love your work and follow you…
When is the photo shoot?

I adore the edge of linen but have never thought of a way to use it–good job!
Hi Pattee,
The photo shoot is at the end of the first week in August. Lots of work to do between now and then!

Thanks, Karin!

I still can’t believe (actually I can) how far you’ve come with your art since I started reading here three years ago. I can’t wait to see this book! I always head to the thrift store—perhaps the hardware store would be more practical and less expensive! 😉
