**All Sold Strawberry Tomato Pinkeep

I know this is not exactly Christmas related but I just couldn’t resist! I love making these tomatoes so much and thought a strawberry on top was the perfect choice. This was made using beautiful red wool from Winterberry Cabin. I added a few mauve glass-head pins, a beautiful handmade spool pin from Pink Dragonfly Crafts on Etsy, and a silver heart in hand charm. It’s firmly stuffed/filled with 21/2 cups of crushed walnut shells to keep your pins and needles sharp. The pink strawberry is firmly attached to the tomato. It is approximately 41/2” tall. Kindly asking $90.00 and $10.00 for travel fare.

***Sold***Sweet Mouse on Tomato Pinkeep

This is probably my favorite tomato I’ve ever created. It is very plump and full of 2 1/2 cups of crushed walnut shells to keep your pins and needles sharp. I used only 100% wools to create this. The tiny 1” mouse is made of viscose that I hand-dyed, he has tiny black eyes and wool ears. It is firmly stuffed with polyfil. His tiny little tail is a strawberry that I created and attached to the end. It is 4.5” high and fairly heavy. I never use glue to attach anything that I can’t stitch so the mouse is firmly attached to the tomato using carpet thread. The sweet tomato pin is made by Pink Dragonfly Crafts on Etsy. I also added a few red glass-head pins and a black bone ring. Kindly asking $90. And $10.00 for travel fare.
