A couple of days ago this
pink padded envelope landed on my doorstep. I just knew it was for me straight away :)
Sinclair over at the wonderful blog
Nature with Me sent me an adorable handmade pincushion shaped like a birdie and lovingly embroidered. It came wrapped up in a beautiful piece of lace fabric which immediately went into my special fabric box - I'll definitely incorporate it into one of my bags. Thank you so much! I love my little pincushion, and as I mentioned in a private email it is far too precious to stick pins into!
So....I hope you don't mind, Sinclair, but I altered it slightly by attaching a bit of ribbon to hang it up in my office! In fact, I used the ribbon that you had tied around the birdie! I really enjoy looking at it from my desk :)
Now it's my turn to 'craft it forward'. I'll be making something from fabric obviously. Not straight away, but definitely before summer. I can't guarantee that you'll like my choice of fabric, but I do hope so! The recipient will be chosen randomly from all commenters of my last three posts. I will reveal the recipient's name next week, so keep tuned!

ReplyDeleteawww...what a cutie birdie.
ReplyDeleteCute birdie! The colors remind me of a hex sign. I wouldn't be able to stick pins in it, either. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so precious.
ReplyDeleteAs usual this is the time I wish I had some crafty bone in my body, what a thoughtful gift!
what a generous give away..and so prettily wrapped!
ReplyDeleteit's so cute!and you're creative to put a ribbon on it instead. =)
ReplyDeleteIt's very cute:) I don't think I could bear to stick pins into it either. I'd love to participate, but I've just done one myself. It's quite a fun little trend going around!
ReplyDeleteI love the pink envelope too but the pin cushion is the cutest!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful gift, and I love the idea of crafting it forward!!
ReplyDeleteI hope this idea stays around for a very long time!!
And you had the right idea of displaying it, and not torturing it...LOL

THis is a really sweet craft it forward. I currently have one going myself and I am just about to complete my last handmade gift. I have been having trouble finding handmade pay it forwards that were given and received so I just created a flickr pool to showcase the lovely work and would love to have this and your items added to it.
