I just finished a charming little minty green birdie. I added wonderful vintage flowers around the pincushion. I hand dyed the silk ribbon at the same time I dyed the wool for the birdie. I added my glittered pins. I've been asked to list this on Etsy instead of Ebay...so for those of you who asked...check out my Etsy. TattingChic...take a look at this beautiful tatted doily that I purchased this past week for a whole $1!!

Blue Bird~ Pincushion

Back by popular demand...Ta da da....
It's been a while...I finally finished another sweet little birdie on a spoon. The pincushion is covered in vintage laces. I added vintage velvet pink flowers and old buttons. Glittered Pin tops.
Pat Winters hand dyed the beautiful silk ribbon. For Valentines I added a beautiful flowered heart. This is listed on Ebay . If interested please click HERE
Oops...I just checked my listing...It is listed for only 3 days not 7 like I thought

Little nest on Vintage shoe pincushion

This is my latest little shoe pincushion with a light green birdie...it's flying off to its new home tomorrow.
Look at the detail on the sole...so cute.
Thought I would use the little wheelbarrow for a prop before it goes off to its new home. It's on my Ebay if you're interested in it. A sweet gal Pat, sent me the most beautiful sea glass that she picked up herself. I'm so in love with sea glass.

Little Birdie on a Rose Spoon

I just added this little spoon to my Ebay... you can find my site on the sidebar.

New Idea!

A friend of mine mentioned making a birdie to go on the shoulder of a maniquin. What a great idea is that!!! So this is the first one, I'll show you another tomorrow. Anyway, I made the little pincushion to fit into the center of the wonder vintage flower that had other little flowers around it...how cool is that! I put a piece of wool on the bottom to help stabilize it. Well, of course, after I made it I thought of other places...like on a little childs chair, sit it in a birds nest. It can still sit on top of a tea cup, or just perch her on a shelf. I would love to hear other ideas! I put this little guy back on Ebay...sorry, for those of you who cant stand ebay...I will try to work with both the etsy and the ebay.
I also added this one to Ebay...I LOVE the handle on this...A little black rub on letter in the blank spot, wouldn't that be a neat thing to do. I used Martha Stewarts brown glitter for the pin tops,to go with the polka dots
I'm working on more goodies...oh yes, please check back tomorrow I will have a little primitive fourth of july birdie.......

Lets Laugh together

Is this not the funniest chicken!!
I made up this pattern, turned out as cute as I hoped

I did a little painting, added some red glittery pins

Sweet little old container. I picked this up years ago in the little town of Los Gatos, Calif.

Again, thank you to everyone that signed up for my giveaway...not knowing what it was going to be.lol. The winner is LORI of Faerie Window!!

Glimmer Mist Birdie!

Ok. I had to try out my new colors of Glimmer Mist. I sprayed the flowers with a couple different pinks. After it was all put together I spritz the whole thing with the gold iridescent. I didn't know which photo I liked best, so I put them both on. The top one I took with natural sun light shining on it. This spoon is sooo beautiful. It is a soup spoon and has a little basket of flowers. It has an engraved *F* on it. I think is stands for Flowers...or the name you give this birdie!!. Well, I did just put this on my EBAY.

I have been tagged...about the weird things about me...I'm working on it LOL. Just a preview...My last name growing up was...are you ready??? FRED yep! Fred. You think I didn't get teased about that!! The big question was...How do you spell it??? Not real hard!! I do know there are a few other Fred's out there, if you have that last name...I bet we're related!!. That's it for tonight! Have a great Sunday!
