Cute


Little things hanging on the wall above my working table...some of you might recognize something...it was a wall without anything on it...so I pulled a string along the wall and hung some cuties on it...looks well I think!

Last night I had to make something for myself...it was only one o'clock in the morning when I finished but I couldn't stop myself..might sound familiar to some of you I think...? I made this cute pincushion with a little hedgehog button. I covered the button myself. I didn't have a kit or anything but while looking at some vintage covered buttons I discoverd that I could easily remove the old dirty fabric... I pulled out this very nice hedgehog fabric which I received a while ago from Mette and it turned out so nice! I love it...going to make more of these so keep an eye on the shop!

have a lovely day!

Very sweet pinvushion. I would love to make a pincushion like that! Would you like to share the pattern or is there a place I can find a pattern or tutorial? Thanks already.

Great pincushion - I just love the hedgehog button - it really finishes it off perfectly. Love the little bits and pieces strung across your work station.

That Hedgehog Button is wonderful! What is the Dutch word for Hedgehog? Not only do I collect little hedgies, but I collect foreign language words for Hedgehog too!
So far I have:
Ricci (Italian)
Yo-Zhik (Russian)
Igel (German)
Anyone else care to add another word to my vocabulary?

Hi Erna,
I love the wall hanging idea. So simple, yet so imaginative! I think I might just go and do the same thing !!! Love the pin cushion too - the hedgehog is really sweet.

Mooi speldenkussen! Ik heb deze ook al eens gemaakt maar niet met zo'n mooie zelfgemaakte knoop erop. Mooi werk hoor. En je werkjes aan de muur zijn ook erg leuk.. Moet ik ook eens doen. Is wel heel erg inspirerend.

I love the idea of hanging some cute goodies on the string. Need to hang something above my bed, perhaps I'll copy your idea someday :)
