Spring Blooms And New Civil War Pincushions...


Oh Spring, where are you ???
We are having a sunny, 
but very cold, blustery day.




Sweet little "unknown" flowers in the gardens.
Probably weeds, but they have perfect tiny flowers.




I treasure my Harry Lauders Walking Stick
because the limbs can be used in many projects.
These are the catkins from the 
'Red' Harry Lauders Walking Stick.
Loving the texture and rusty red color !
(Even the buds are red)

I love to do Hand Embroidery...
I couldn't resist adding it to a pincushion.
I used gorgeous Valdani variegated Perle Cotton Thread
for the Hand Embroidery.  Love the richness and 
all the variation of color in each of the roses.
Beads and crystals will come next !

Sweet Tender Violets

Violets always remind me of my Grandmother 
and her Grandmother...generations past.
I can remember collecting large handfuls
and placing them in a vase for my Grandmother.

Enjoy your weekend !
