Make
We have been busy sewing and making other crafty related things! I had to hem the curtains (only a year after we moved in!) and realized that i have been sewing sans pincushion for far too long! I LOVE those cute tomato pin cushions, so I made one. Well it's sort of a tomato ... cute none the less!
This is the Valentine's card we are handing out at Jack's preschool today. He came up wit the dinosaur part and i sketched out the rest. It met his approval, so I carved it on lino and printed away! To make it two tone i carved it all as one stamp, then carefully cut out the heart so it became two stamps that match up perfectly! I think I might sell these in the shop. They are just too adorable for words!

Those are fantastic cards!
ReplyDeleteAlso I have not seen one of those tomato pin cushions for years. Everyone had one in the sixties, myself included. Later I had one that had a wristband. -- not a tomato but a rectangular pad.
