I love pin keeps (cooler than pin cushions don't you think?)!!!! I made these two.
They are so useful and yet so fun. Oh I really have NO idea why something you have to keep pins in while you sew (I don't sew you know) can be such a GREAT thing.
This shelf in my hall has a ton of old ones with pull out measuring tapes click on it to see a little better.
I have all kinds such as animals
fruit
Sweets
makedos
Tomatoes!!!!
I got a new Romantic Homes magazine and it had a pic of tomato pin cushions! I gasp, I can't catch my breath...
I HAVE TO HAVE SOME!!!!!
Ok now I come out of my fit and calmly remind myself I have a jar FULL at home. Not just full they don't all fit!!! See the poor jar in the back it's going to bust!
WHY do I get addicted to these things????
Well now I have to go and search etsy because I KNOW there are pin keeps out there I don't have one like yet! hehe
OH NO Betty Ford just called my room is ready!
Hugs, Lisa

Wow, Lisa! What a collection!!! I looove the cupcakes..I saw them made on Martha Stewart..and that bunny...ooh..I think I've seen the gal who makes those too. : ) Your ducky is very cute, by the way..and I think that the fabric you used as a backdrop is really pretty. Is that a bench or something?

ReplyDeleteWonderful collection Lisa, and they are just so useful if you sew, but delightful to look at if you don't!

These are so cute.
ReplyDeleteAfter I get the room done that I am working on I plan to starting some sewing projects and pin cushions are on my list.
Would you believe I am using the one that my Mom bought for me when I was in 7th grade. That was over 43 years ago.

What a hoot! I guess there could be stranger things to collect. Or more expensive! I didn't realize you had so many, they're fun! I don't sew either so don't feel bad. Hope you have a great day Lisa, glad to have you back!

ReplyDeleteI am going to try and get all the gifts out tomorrow. Sorry yours hasn't been sent yet. I was waiting to finish up the other one that week so I could mail them at the same time and then I got so sick.
Sorry-I've been out of commission -- terribly sick for over a week-- but do you want to know how I cut my grocery bill in half? go to Cut your grocery bills now plus I have a give a way and a new Mr Linky party starting tomorrow but Mr Linky will be up by 8 p.m. tonight
