Halloween Cottage Pincushion

Halloween...in April? Yes, that right. For those of you
that may not know, I love everything about Halloween
and I enjoy creating spooktacular treats all year round.


I decided to create a Halloween Cottage Pincushion
for my first listing at the Halloween Queens Castle Bootique.


It's been awhile since I created a pincushion
and I had so much fun stitching it up.


Of course, embellishing is always my favorite part.

For details on my pincushion and more Halloween goodies,
come and visit the Halloween Queens Castle Bootique.

Happy April to you all!

Hugs,
Lisa :)

Beedeebabee aka Paulette is a kindred spirit that I met on ebay. Our common interests in the Victorian era, crazy quilting, embellishing, stitching, romantic period novels, & movies etc... brought us together. Paulette is an extraordinary artist! She puts more than 100% in all her creations.

This was a sweet gift I received from her. A detachable handmade and hand-painted angel floats above a beautiful hand-stitched pincushion.




She hand-embroidered and embellished every little stitch, sequins, & bead you see.




Every little detail is lovely! Even the angels wings, dress, pants, & shoes have delicate embroidery and dazzle.




A whimsical beaded halo sits atop her head & gorgeously hand-painted face.




As a surprise, Paulette even stitched me up a tiny personalized heart tag! She's such a *S*W*E*E*T*H*E*A*R*T*!!!



The Kindred Spirit paintings I wrote about in my previous post are in her home now. Here they hang together in her work area.







She even added butterfly stickers to flutter around the Anne & Diana paintings.






Here are a couple of examples of her beautiful crazy quilts. Amazing creations and oh so Cute, Cute, Cute!!!








She has yet to create a blog (hint,hint),
but you can check out more goodies from
Paulette at Beedeebabee's Etsy Shop and also Beedeebabee on ebay.

Thanks for sharing your world with me Paulette! You always inspire me!

Love,

Pincushion Princess

Here are two pincushions I just created. The first one is a detachable froggy on a lily pad pincushion approximately 3.75" X 3.75" W & 1.75" H. The tiny froggy is 1.75" L X 1.75" W at widest point (hind legs). The second one is called "Home is where the Heart is". A cute heart pincushion approximately 3" X 3" W & 1.75" H.

Flower Pincushion

I've always enjoyed creating hand-stitched pieces like altered art dolls, pillows, fabric brooches, mini crazy quilts, and especially ACEO's (Art Cards Editions, & Originals). This however, is the first pincushion I've ever created. It measures 5" X 5" in width & 3.5" in height. This two tier pincushion was made with multiple colors of wool felt. Stuffed firmly with a generous amount of poly-fil. The center of the pincushion has a flower applique, a crocheted flower, a gem flower brad, and has a surrounding of tiny seed beads. Also included in this piece is a lady bug brooch that I stitched up using felts, beads, & a pin back. It measures 1.5" X 1.25". Besides the three pins that I have on the the pincushion, I've also created a cute flower pin that is identical on both sides with a button center. I finished it all off with decorative fiber trims & a blanket stitch.

I was inpired & asked to create a pincushion by my creative friend Paulette (aka beedeebabee on ebay). She is a wonderful artist who recently also started making pincushions full of sweet embroidery & imagination. Be sure to check out her cute quilted creations on the following link.
