a bit stylish
well I like to think I am, but I know looking at photos of myself I’m about as stylish as a cat in a top hat!
But I wasn’t talking about me anyway! I was talking about these,
What do you think, I made some last year, but only three pincushions, this year there are six pincushions and matching needlebooks, very smart, just right for the man who sews I feel : ) These will not be in the shop until after Handm@de this coming weekend!
Currently listening to Zbigniew Preisner, which is very lovely, and soothing. Found out today that next year I will be seeing Calexico in May, which I am very very excited by, so much so when I found out I rushed upstairs to John office at work and squealed!! Very excited by music at the moment, going to ATP in 3 weeks, and also seeing Spoon in February, whoooo!!
Hey, look two posts in two days, but don’t expect it to carry on!

I bought the original lovely blue tweed pin cushion last year and I love it.
A bit later I was reading an old blog post of yours and realised it was made from some tweed you found in an op shop that had been woven by a lady on the Isle of Harris. I’m an ex-pat Scot living a long way from home in New Zealand so the pin cushion instantly became even more special. I hold it in my hand and think of the beautiful misty Highlands and Islands – which is a bit crazy as grew up right in the middle of Glasgow!
I also think about how Harris Tweed was traditionally cured using urine – eeeeew!

Love the pincushions and needlebook. I’m always surprised how many men sew fpr a hobby. I was speaking to an 82 year the other day and his passion is seeing and designing cross-stitch patterns.
Haven’t come across that group before so I’m going to have to investigate….
