Blessings freebie byPrimitiveBettys, found here
fabric: 32ct natural linen, spotted w/ tea
fiber: DMC 221
back(I've tea stained the backing fabric...
the original fabric is laying underneath.
You can see the difference better IRL.)
The first prim pyn pillow I filled with poly pellets. This one I filled with crushed walnut shells. I don't think I'll ever go back to fiberfill for pincushions...I just love the weighty feel :) Many thanks to Carolyn for telling me to check the pet store (check the bird area.) I also found crushed corn cobs. They're bigger, but far less expensive. I think they'll work great for larger projects, although I have no idea what those might be, lol ;) The kids saw these bags and thought we were getting a bird, NOT!
And look at these wonderful new additions to my scissor addiction collection.
I ordered these on Saturday from Anita (Anita's Little Stitches), and they were in my mailbox Monday. WOW! Thank you so much Anita for your excellent service!
Thanks for stopping by and adding a bit of sunshine to my piece of cyberspace :) Have a great day!
What a wonderful finish Staci! I will have to try my pet store for some of those crushed walnut shells.

ReplyDeleteVery cute. I like the idea of the walnut shells, I've used saw dust before. I think the corn cob filler could be used for stand up things like the Woodland Frosty you made.
ReplyDeleteLovely finish!!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I can't wait to treat myself to one.
ReplyDeleteSmiles,

Well, isn't that just the cutest little pillow. I also like your tea stained fabric for the back. Great job.
