It's been a so therapeutic to give my little wee craft space and total clean up and re-organise. I've been spending small bits of time going through everything, and I'm sure many a fellow crafter will agree - boy oh boy do we like to collect! It's strange the random things I found. I had to wonder at my ability to hoard some things that I was never going to use.
The other strange oddity that came to me, was how little I make for myself of the practical variety. I mean, I have the ability to sew, and yet, there were my pins all hanging on for dear life onto a crumbling bit of foam that was glued onto the plastic container they came in mostly likely many moons ago (dare I say even from my mum's sewing kit..)
No...it would not do....not for this re-vamped sewing space. So I've been busy whipping up a pin cushion (or five) and then I happened to glance at the cardboard packet of needles.....Quick....A needle book (or two) created quickly. So whilst some of these most practical delights are for my own, I couldn't resist making a few as gifts. It's marvellous how they brighten up my crafting space!
But for more creativity....head over to
this space (but watch out...there is so much to look at your derrière could soon been getting a dose of pins and needles!)

I hear you on the crafty hoarding!! My craft space is in dire need of a clean up, it's definitely on the todo list! Love your pincushions, such gorgeous fabric combos as usual! Have a great day! :)
ReplyDeleteooh, ive been meaning to make some pincushions too!! should be my next thing on the 'to do' list :) a clean space always inspires work to be done :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice, Bren. Loved your last line on the post! So true! x
ReplyDeleteIt is the feeling that it may be useful one day and I will regret getting rid of it that keeps me holding onto things.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job on the pin cushions and needle books.
Love the pin cushions Brenda. While you are lucky enough to have your own little room. I have finally got myself a horn sewing table and couldn't be happier everything now has a place! Now to start creating. Maybe I should start with a pin cushion.
ReplyDeleteYour pincushions are so cute! You've used some lovely fabric. :)
ReplyDeleteI still have one I made when I was in late primary school (doesn't bare to think how long ago that might be!)... but I have to say I'm not feeling at all attracted to it. Must make a new one for me some time!
P.S. Good on you for cleaning up your crafting space! It feels so good when it's done, doesn't it.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous fabric choices like always. And what a lovely way to while away some time...first sorting out your craft room...and then making these lovelies. x
