Make-do Pin Cushions

I have just finished one of several make-do pin cushions that will be for sale in my etsy shop when they completed. This one is the latest with a heavy ecru fabric embellished with old and new found objects. The cushion sets on top of a vintage child's baby cup, now storage for sewing notions; to include a tin filled with old buttons, tatting threads and pins. The small rose colored velvet is a keeper, however, I will have 2 more similiar ones and 2 dark lavender coming soon.

Children's Plantings

The tall white pine was planted as a tiny sapling that my son Cale brought home from school. At one point several years ago the top 3ft had been broken off(how I don't know). I thought it would never grow another lead, so I decided to keep it low. Well, that proved to be a mistake, the branches just grew out with one pointing up, so I let that one take up the new lead and wow, it looks great. It's now around 20ft.tall. My son was very pleased because he thought it would always be a stump of a tree. He is 6ft 2" and now has to look up to his tree! A few years later, my daughter Heather and I planted 3 more saplings, they haven't taken off yet after 3yr, soon they will sprout up quickly. I love the sound of the wind moving throught white pine. It reminds me of my childhood in upper Michigan. Enjoy the view.

Ready for the Fire Pit

Whenever my daughter comes home, we try to spend time together at the fire pit in the backyard. Didn't get there this time, but there are plenty of sticks all year long to burn falling from the oaks and hickories!
