***Pending***Autumn Sound Pinkeep Drum

Another beautiful design by Blackbird Designs that I just had to stitch! The fall colors in this are absolutely gorgeous! It’s a good size, perfect for your extra pins! It is approximately 4” wide x 3” tall. I used a beautiful brown fabric from my stash for the side and bottom. It is firmly stuffed with sawdust to keep your pins and needles sharp. I added some glass-head pins, an antique blown-glass swirl pin, and a beautiful pumpkin pin by Pink Dragonfly Crafts on Etsy. I also added a safety pin with a mother of pearl button, tiny orange bead, and a tiny charm. All of my pinkeep drums are hand stitched and hand sewn. Kindly asking $95.00 and $10.00 for travel fare.

*** Sold***Oct 31 Pinkeep Drum

I love every single design from Blackbird Designs and I’m so happy I picked this one to stitch for this Halloween! It’s a big one! It is approximately 5” wide x 3” tall.

The bone button and shoe button are antiques from my great Uncle’s thread mill in Fall River, Massachusetts that I visited often as a young girl. It is firmly stuffed with sawdust and crushed walnut shells. I added several glass-head pins, two that I created and one very special cauldron pin that I purchased specifically for this.

I used some Vintage Linen Embroidered Doilies to make these Pear Pincushions. The linen was first dyed to a warm light brown color. They’re very firmly stuffed with a mixture of wood shavings and crushed walnut crystals, and the leaf is made from felted wool. After finishing they were aged with black walnut crystals. The pears measure 4” high to the bottom of the stem, and about 3” wide at the bottom. I’ve added a few vintage buttons, glass head pins and also a couple of mourning pins. Travel fare is 15.00 with tracking from Canada. Please click on photo to see additional pictures.

I think I could get addicted to making these tomatoes! They are made using the softest wools.

I created a matching strawberry fob and added a cute pair of scissors to go with them. They come in solid red wool, or red with black checks. Please indicate the color ribbon, cream or blue, and check or solid wool. I have two of each. Please, no orders at this time. The tomato measures approximately 5” x 4”. Kindly asking $54.00 for each set which includes the tomato, the strawberry fob, and scissors. Travel fare is $7.50
