***SOLD***Shamrock Pinkeep Drum

This is the sweetest pattern by Needle Treasures Nook on Etsy. I really enjoyed stitching this one using Gloriana silk floss. It is approximately 4.5" across x 2.5" high. I firmly stuffed it with sawdust to keep your pins and needles sharp. I added lots of green to this sweet drum! I made a pin using an antique mesh shamrock from the 1950's and added it to the top of the drum.

Velvet Heart Bowl Filler

I have been collecting antiques since I was a young girl and have always loved these frozen doll heads from Germany. I can imagine a young child playing with their dolls so tenderly as they were originally created as bath toys because they floated. They were also baked in cakes and other desserts and were considered to bring good luck to the person who was given the piece with the frozen Charlotte inside. They were very inexpensive at the time so many people could afford them. Now, they are more difficult to find and can be quite expensive. I found this beautiful velvet at an antique show and saved it until I could find the perfect thing to use it for. These pinkeeps are one of my favorites to create. It is approximately 5” x 3 1/2” and firmly stuffed with sawdust. I added a stiffened bow, and some glass head pins. These are beautiful in a bowl with other pinkeeps or small handwork. Kindly asking $68.00. Shipping is on me. (Bow colors might vary)

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.
