This one is mine, all mine!!! 2 PC pics

17 years ago

The first turquoise-and-tan pincushion I posted about is a birthday gift for a friend. The floral-and-peach PC in my "wool" thread is a gift for another crafting friend.

This one is mine, all mine! LOL

It's made from, and filled with, material

from recycled felted wool sweaters.

Cindy, thank you, I do love a variety! Isle of Zanzibar still mesmerizes me when I see it bloom! Lisa, I've had Morrie Ott for about six years in my garden. It is one of my all time favorite mini's. Some of those pretty edges you refer to had a hard time opening this morning. Mississippi Memories being one of them. Sharon, thank you. Enchanting Esmerelda is one of those that need to be in the garden for its performance and beauty. Will always reside here! Julia, I love my neck of the woods because the dormants do well here as well as MOST of the southern breds. I feel I have the best of both worlds as far as what I can decide to grow here! I've had Cerise Masterpiece three years. It has not increased rapidly for me here. Started as a single fan, now has three fans and the blooms still are not pristeen. Hopefully it will show itself off a lot better by end of this season! dreamingdaylilies, I moved Way Past Cool to my new deer protected bed last fall, so this picture really doesn't show it in its full beauty. I'm sure it will settle in nicely tho. As far as Morrie Otte goes...I've never had a problem with Morrie here. You might be right as far as temps being too cool. Rita, one of the reasons I like looking at all your picks! You have so many things I don't that I get nothing but pure enjoyment looking at yours! I have to admit purple being my favorite, I still fall for all those pinks with gold edges! Thank you all for taking the time to take a peak into my neck of the woods! Nancy

Taken years ago, Fred, the groundhog and our dog, Luther. Fred lived in our backyard for a long time and I was afraid, Luther, who was half German Shepherd and have Black Lab, would catch him. I wish I had gotten a picture of Fred after I borrowed a Have a Heart trap from the local animal control people and watched him reach into it and pull out a nice, big, juicy apple I put in there to catch him. I never caught him but watched him happily snack on that apple. Not too long after I gave up on the trap, Fred left my yard. I don't know what happened to him. Apparently Kentucky's groundhog died today and was replaced with a new guy. He predicted early Spring.

What is blooming in your garden now? Here are some pics of mine

Thank you Fely! Your climate is cooler than ours, but all of your plants grow here too. I would love to grow daphne - I see hedges of it around our neighborhood when I go out for a walk. However, I was at our nursery yesterday, and they said that it likes shade (which is good, as we have a lot of that in our garden), but absolutely need really good drainage. Well, our lot is only 6 ft above sea level. It does drain OK, as my DH has done work over the years to maks sure of that. However, last winter and this winter we have gotten several inches of rain in one week - frequently. Then the soil cannot drain as fast as the rain is coming down, and we get ponds forming in some areas for a day or so. Even after a few days of sun between the storms, the soil is fairly saturated, and I do not walk on the beds. So, I don't think I have anyplace that would be safe to plant a daphne. Have to think about whether I can talk my DH into building a raised bed for one, I guess. How is the drainage where you grow yours? Jackie

Nicole/Black Forest Colorado Z5A @orchidrain....We have an Orchid store. I traded them an Australian orchid for several of their Dendrobium Hawaiian ones. 🪴They bloom twice a year...or sometimes it just keeps going for 12 months......massive amounts of blooms!

That is soooo cute. I am impressed with how perfectly you have made it. Everything looks even, round, firmly stuffed and centered nicely. Where did you learn to do this cute craft?

I was looking at pincushions online the other day....I think I saw that one...

I found one on a stand like the first ones...that is crazy quilting on top...(with ribbons and fancy stitching) and beading hanging around the sides...That's the one I plan to make for me....

I made some of the (I think it is Debbie Mumm) tea pot shaped pincushions too...They were fun.

Sorry I don't know a thing about wool stuffing...I use fiberfill...

Sheila Joyce. Thank you for the compliment, but I didn't make this one. I bought it from a craftswoman on line. She gets all the credit!

She cuts circles of felted sweater material to use as the stuffing inside this style of pincushion. I think they're stacked like pancakes inside the pretty "skin." The same woman made the turquoise and blue one I posted a couple weeks (?) ago.

Ivamae! You're right; you can bet I didn't pay near that amount for mine. I didn't pay that for all three combined; LOL.

I think any pincushion pushing $40 better come with carat-gold pins!
