Teapot pincushion

Well it's been awhile since I've posted anything I've made we've had company for the past week our best friends were here visiting from Fl. and left this a.m. to head home....sure hated to see them leave "Life is nothing without friendship" by CICERO! Well anyway we did a little shopping (little) hehe while they were here and I found the cutest pattern among other's of course for pincushion's so here is my "Teapot" pincushion I just finished making. The base is an old wooden spool of thread I found at an antique shop soooooooooo cute & simple.....love simple once in awhile don't you? I have some other things will take picture's and post soon until then......

Isn't this neat

Here is my name made from things I found outside and in my house......

I seen photographs of letters of the alphabet made from outside objects yesterday at a craft store I went to and thought this is just the neatest thing, so today it was so beautiful outside I took my camera and started looking for letters myself....it is so amazing what letters you can find in trees, on building's, inside your homes....all you have to do is look. I found each letter of the alphabet except for J, R, & Q but I am determined I will find them somewhere. So go have some fun get your kid's, DH or just yourself and see what you can find leave me a comment if you find some and you publish it.

Sad day!

I'm feeling pretty sad right now I just read that Patrick Swayze has passed away he was one of my favorite stars. He put up a good fight but the good Lord decided it was time. He will be missed "Rest in peace Patrick" and my prayers to all his family!
