PinCushions & Cross Stitch PINK SATURDAY

Hello Pink Lovers!
It's Pink Saturday and a basket full of Thank you's go to Beverly of
HOW SWEET THE SOUND
for hosting the party each week!!


I'd love to have you take a little detour and visit my 2nd giveaway post by clicking HERE!!
It ends on June 14th and YES it's Pink ;-))

I collect vintage pincushions and love the ones that are handmade with porcelain "half dolls". This treasure I found last year and she is as lovely as can be! She's the largest one I've ever seen and measures 9" across!


Her dress ~ or pincushion part ~ is made from a pink satin trimmed with vintage laces. Isn't she sweet with her delicate features and dainty hands! And this is the only one I've ever seen with a music box inside!

From 1982 to 1995 I self published my cross stitch design patterns under the name Graph-It Arts. Back then the country look was hot but I still liked the more pastel shades of shabby cottage country!


This photo is a stitched model from the book "Sentimental Country #2" from 1990 and its always been one of my favorites with the pink and white patchwork quilt and teddy bear :-)

You can see it on the cover shown in an oak frame which I've since whitewashed.

My final item to showcase is one of my handmade sweet & petite shabby pink birdie pincushions! Isn't she the cutest thing!! This one will be listed on ebay tomorrow and I hope she will find a good home!
Thank you to all the pink peeps who visited me today and I'm going to try and visit everyone on the list this week!!

Hugs and Smiles,
