Well, some of you got a glimpse at this crush last week via email…. Sorry for the mix up. I hit the wrong button and before I knew it my unfinished post was out and about in the world – wide – web. You caught me… I’m human!
.
Today’s post is about the little things for the studio. We all have fun tools that we love and can not be without. Well, I have a small thing for pin cushions. These tiny cuties help prevent me from stepping on a stray pin on my floor. (been there, done that! my girls need a serious case of “ear muffs” when it happens.)

Ooooooh! I adore the ladybug one,
My Mom loved to sew and she loved ladybugs. I may just have to get her a ladybug pincushion as a memory keeper for her. She is no longer able to sew but I am sure she would love the memories it would bring back ~ memories of when she made all 7 of us children brand new matching Easter outfits for church. <3
Thank you for sharing your pincushion crush. It made my heart smile!
Hope you have a wonderful day!

I,too, am a lover of pincushions. I probably have half a dozen books on making pincushions. The ones I have made the most of is Tiny Worlds by Mimi Kirschner. They make great gifts.
