SoldBird Pinkeep

I started this sweet pinkeep before Mother Nature surprised us! The sweet yellow bird and pink flower are made of 100% wool. The black and cream tuffet was made using a reproduction coverlet fabric. I added an old cream button from my collection and stitched some tiny French knots around the flower petals. The tuffet is firmly packed with pine shavings and sits in an antique metal strainer. It is removable from the strainer. It is 4” x 7”. Kindly asking $37.00 and $6.50 shipping. Click on picture to see additional image.

SoldPumpkin Pinkeep

I had so much fun making this sweet pinkeep! The large pumpkin on the bottom is made from a pretty burnt orange and black quilt fabric and the top pumpkin was made using an orange wool fabric. The greenery on the pumpkin is made using remnants of an old Army blanket. The sweet little mouse was made with black mohair, glass eyes and tiny wool ears. The mouse is firmly attached and cannot come off. I added some straight pins, and a bone corset button from my collection. The stem is a real pumpkin stem, saved and dried from pumpkins grown by my youngest kids in the garden. The entire pinkeep is firmly stuffed with wool scraps and is 6" high and 5" across. Kindly asking $65.00 shipping is on me.

Pinkeep scissor holder

I thought it would be so much fun making a pinkeep out of a chicken feeder! This time I made several! I love having little spaces to hold extras along with my pins. For this pinkeep I used my favorite green fabric with tiny black flowers. The center pincushion is packed tightly with wool. I sewed small glass buttons all around the pincushion and added a small safety pin and a tiny heart charm along with two glass head pins. These are perfect to hold extra scissors, thread, buttons, even chocolate! Who doesn’t need a snack or two when stitching? I am including this cute little pair of stork scissors with the pinkeep. Kindly asking $32.00 and $5.50 for shipping.

Bunny’s Big Carrot

This wonderful design is by The Spotted Hare, selling with permission. I used 100% wool for the bunny and carrot. His eyes are glass and his cute little tail is needle felted on. I’ve added little x’s using valdani thread all around the carrot. The tiny bunny is stuffed firmly with wool roving and the carrot is packed with sawdust. He is attached to the carrot so he will not fall off. As with all of my creations this is not intended for use as a toy. Shipping is on me.
