I was looking through some of my favorite pincushions that aren't new but some I love....and I also wanted to work on my photograph technique....Some of the photographs I've seen on blogs that have linked up are so professional that I have been feeling inadequate with my photos.
Anyway...I found an old calendar with gorgeous pictures of flowers that I propped up behind as a backdrop and...well...not perfect but better than before anyway....lol...
This beautiful antique I found at an estate sale and have used it for years. The beautiful porcelain rose has a broken petal but I really never notice. The label in the back says it was made in Italy.
When you open the little turtle's shell he has room for scissors, sewing notions and a special place to keep needles...
Last are some cute little cupcakes I made with my embroidery machine........I've made several of these....they make great gifts and are so fun to make!

This gorgeous felt pincushion was made by my Sis, Irene. I love all the bead work and stitching...(but not as much as I love her)..... My sis also gave me the cute little teapot box because she knows how I love little boxes. The teapot sits upon another very special item....a ceramic heart made by my middle son in school when he was about 8 years old.....(30+ years ago...)
Next is another special pincushion/sewing kit made by a special friend, Mary.....

Wow, there is no end to the beautiful pincushions you have. I’m glad that I have been able to add to your parade. Aren’t the memories in some of the pincushions just wonderful?
More lovely pincushions. The cupcakes are very cute.
Hi Ida wow I love these pin cushions ,the turtle one is awesome Thankyou for sharing these beauties with us my friend xx
You must have a huge collection! I like your 'backdrop' idea for photos and will have to look around to see what I might have that would work in a similar way. Especially love those fun cupcakes!
Those cupcakes are great. And all of them without calories, perfect. I'm working with backgrounds too. I try to vary after what time of the year it is. Just now I try to show you how many beautiful flowers we have around. I also try to show you what it's like where I live. I'm going to try your idea, it's sweet.
Another lovely collection. The cup cakes are gorgeous and I love the turtle. The Italian one is a great one too. xx
Those are all so special. The Italian one is so elegant and I love the cute one with stitching that Irene made. I really like your cupcakes too. They do make such a nice gift. I love mine.
and they keep coming. more beautiful special pincushions that have great memories...
Love the antique! Oh, and that teapot is so cute!
The backdrop is a great idea. I’ve been wondering what to do with my photos too. I can see I need to try that out!
Thank you for organising the pin cushion parade, Ida!
I’m sorry I didn’t manage to make many this time, I thought I’d make more but the time flew!
I’m still visiting others, it’s been great to see so many ideas!
Hugs,
Barbara xx
