"Arts & Crafts" Tuesday : Green Covers & Purple Pincushion

What I managed to craft this past Saturday was this new kit of jam jar covers, made with green gingham cotton, and remnants of linen, crochet lace & vintage floral fabric, from the previous project. (Craft corner wall hanging) I thought it was a good idea to re-use these little bits to embellish the covers.Yesterday I had time for crafting (hurray !!) so I managed to make a (rectangular) pincushion.Made of natural linen on one side, and of bicolor linen (there are two threads in this linen : purple & lavender blue), and of a lovely floral cotton.I embellished it with two matching covered buttons, a length of trim (that I had bought in Paris, remember ?) & of a bit of sewing tape on which I handstamped a thread spool. I filled it with remnants of the blend felt I use. That way, it's not too light & is plumpy just as should be.Well, I think that's it for today.

We'll go on vacation in the south from Saturday 11th in the evening till Sunday 19th in the evening too. I'll be able to check the blog from my parents, the first half of the week, but won't post. I'm still wondering if I'll upload photos to Flickr from there, or not. Still haven't decided. I know that next week, the time will pass by even faster than usual, and I'm even thinking if they're really going to be vacations. (you know, when you sleep later, you do nothing ... these vacations are not meant to be like this) I just hope we won't come back home more tired than usual ! LOL After that week, the boys will have another vacation week, but not Chris.

Now, please, have yourself a lovely Tuesday & treat yourself with something nice today. A facial mask, a good book, a cake (well, a piece of that cake only or you might regret it) ... whatever it may be & that may bring you joy or comfort. You deserve it.
Thanks so much for stopping by & reading ! :) xoxoxo
