LOVE IT!!!! also loved all you comments yesterday, so good to hear from you. this shot is perfect, each pin perfect focus, not one thing out of focus, that is talent
Hey there MadSnapper! Great to see you today. Just got back from your blog with the droplets. Those are one of my MOST FAVE things to shoot. One time I got them on a big spider web. Only I didn't know Miss Spider was hiding. She jumped out and boy, did I fly back. Fun day though. Good times shooting drops. Happy Weekend. Happy Snapping! 📸❤️
I hope that's really just a pin cushion and not some faceless voodoo doll. Where that thought came from I don't even know. Hope you're having a happy week!
Thank you so much, Debra for taking note of my photos and how things are unfolding. I wrote to you about Karl Taylor and really, I can't say enough about his advice, he gave to someone else, to aim for one good photo per day. Really, really fun.
I can so relate to your wordless Wednesday photo. This is how I feel right now!! lol.. A few pins sticking mer as I continue to beat the heck out of this upper respiratory junk. I do love the creations from your photography Ivy... so very good!!
Hope that passes for you. I've had those. no fun at all. Loved your post about your friend with the Easter tree. She sounds amazing and SO do you! Truly you are blessed to be living next to each other again. Love that! Feel better my friend 💜 PS: LOOOOVE the backing on your blog. If that were fabric, I'd have it in my stash.
Love this Macro... I have to admit my first thought was a voodoo doll... I have missed seeing your posts lately. I don't know if something has changed. Some people can't comment. I always enjoy coming here. Sue
Hi Denise. Thank you. Good to be back. I've not been around because I've been decluttering and then hubby got sick and then I had an ear, tooth and head thing. Back now, catching up. Blogger rocks!
Hi Ivy- what a lovely photo- brings back memories from my youth. I have not seen a pin cushion in many years. Of course I don't sew and maybe if I did, I'd have a pin cushion.Have a great week.
Nice pin cushion. I don't sew so don't need one but I did make one out of some stuffing, a piece of velvet, and a cracked teacup💗 Have a lovely weekend.
A picture tells a thousand stories. I guess you're enjoying your sewing at the moment, now you've got your sewing nook you'll be raring to go. I've never really got into sewing, I had a go at English paper piecing, sewing by hand, and I enjoyed the process to a point but never finished the project. I bought a sewing machine a number of years ago but it's never even been out of the box. I don't think I enjoy learning new things, I stick to what I know.
Hey Jo. I've been sewing for many, many, many years. Had a blanket business and a HUGE sewing room at one time. Just got back into sewing a few weeks ago and it's sooo fun. Makes me sad to think of your machine in a box. What make you want a machine at the time? What did you want to make?
There wasn't anything I particularly wanted to make, I just thought I'd give it a go so I bought a very basic machine but it was around the time that my parents' health started to decline and I started on the journey of supporting them through their final years, the sewing machine never made it out of the box, and these days I just don't really have the time to embark on something new.
I still have the pincushion my grandmother gave me years ago. When she died my Aunt sent me all of grandmothers pins and her cusions along with scraps of yarn and materials for patching.
Oh, I remember those pin cushions. I wish I had kept one from my mom. She was a great seamstress, and you don't see those anymore. Nice photo, my friend.
Much, much thanks, Linda! I'm VERY MUCH enjoying your posts where you share and talk about yourself. I know that's not your fave thing as you mentioned but wanted to let you know, you're good at it and I thank you for your stories. This is what makes blogging the best!
Very fun, a great capture of very important items in the craft room. My mom made me a hedgehog pin cushion, she used a pattern and crotchet the cutest hedgehog.
Pincushion art!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ginny! It was made from scraps I had when I boxed in the corners, making a bag.
DeleteThat's a nice pincushion.
ReplyDeleteHi Margaret. Thanks. Fun to make from scraps.
DeleteLOVE IT!!!! also loved all you comments yesterday, so good to hear from you. this shot is perfect, each pin perfect focus, not one thing out of focus, that is talent

DeleteModern art.......I'm guessing It's a balding hedgehog?
ReplyDeletelololololol
DeleteYour own personal voodoo doll?
ReplyDeleteHey Alex! When I made that from scraps, it also reminded me of a Voodoo Doll.
DeleteLOL I thought voodoo doll when I saw the picture just like Alex did. Cool photo.
ReplyDeleteHey Ann! I thought that too when I made this out of scraps. I was like, this almost feels like a Voodoo Doll.
DeleteLove it
ReplyDeleteThanks, Christine! Happy Weekend.
DeleteI hope that's really just a pin cushion and not some faceless voodoo doll. Where that thought came from I don't even know. Hope you're having a happy week!
ReplyDeletelolololol. It does remind me of that too. That fabric. Hope you're having a yummy day, Erika! Thanks for stopping in.
DeleteYou get the best macro shots! Each pin in a perfect place. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mari. And thank you again for getting me into Wordless Wednesdays. It's a fun!

ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Debra for taking note of my photos and how things are unfolding. I wrote to you about Karl Taylor and really, I can't say enough about his advice, he gave to someone else, to aim for one good photo per day. Really, really fun.
DeleteI can see I'm not the only one who immediately thought voodoo doll!
ReplyDeleteHey Sandra! When I made it, I also felt like it look Voodoooeeeee.

Hi Sue! Thank you. I thought of Voodoo Doll when I sewed that from scraps. Same thing! Funny that others see it too.
DeleteI've not been around because I've been decluttering and then hubby got sick and then I had an ear, tooth and head thing. Back now, catching up.
Lovely!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Abby!

Thanks Donna!!! I'm soon on my way to the fabric store. Hope you're having a fun week!
DeleteHi Ivy- what a lovely photo- brings back memories from my youth. I have not seen a pin cushion in many years. Of course I don't sew and maybe if I did, I'd have a pin cushion.Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteHelllooo Judee! I've not had one in a long time. I remember the big tomato ones. Fun! Wishing you a wonderful weekend.
DeleteI recently bought a new one of these...a big tomato one to be exact.
ReplyDeleteGroovy. What sewing projects are you working on?
DeleteNo sewing projects, but a pin cushion is part of my sewing/mending kit and I hadn't replaced mine for probably 30 years. The sawdust was falling out!
Deletelololol on the sawdust falling out. Glad you found a new one.
DeleteNice pin cushion. I don't sew so don't need one but I did make one out of some stuffing, a piece of velvet, and a cracked teacup💗
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend.
In a cracked teacup sounds so cute!!!!

DeleteThank you for sharing that, Jo. You're a good egg that you took the time to do that for your parents. Really a wonderful thing.
DeleteI still have the pincushion my grandmother gave me years ago. When she died my Aunt sent me all of grandmothers pins and her cusions along with scraps of yarn and materials for patching.
ReplyDeleteThat's very, very cool that you have that from her. I love that. I have my grandma's rolling pin and few other kitchen things. I just love that!
DeleteDo you sew?
Oh, I remember those pin cushions. I wish I had kept one from my mom. She was a great seamstress, and you don't see those anymore. Nice photo, my friend.
ReplyDeleteThey were fun. Very cool that your mom was a seamstress. It's such a fun thing to play with fabric. Thank you about the picture.
DeleteCreatives need pin cushions. In close-up it's a delightful sculpture itself.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI like this -- the photo ND the pincushion!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jeanie! Happy Weekend.
DeleteGood shot!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Happy Weekend.
DeleteA great photograph of a very nice looking pincushion.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend wishes.
All the best Jan

DeleteSometimes the simplest things are just very cool.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good point (no pun intended). Thank you! ❤️
DeleteSimply can't wait to see your little sewing nook! I really really want to declutter! Just can't get started. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a fun thing for sure. What's got you held back?
DeleteOoooo, love your header shot!
ReplyDeleteThank you bunches, Denise!
DeleteVery fun, a great capture of very important items in the craft room. My mom made me a hedgehog pin cushion, she used a pattern and crotchet the cutest hedgehog.
ReplyDeleteHi Carla! How cool that your mom made you a hedgehog! What a hoot!!!!
