Pretty Tools of the Trade: Dove Pincushion

Yes, more birds : ) I just can't help it! My grandmother taught us when we were wee girls the three R's: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Well Kati over at Tagurity is the creator of this sweet Recycled, Handmade Gold and White Terracotta Dove Pincushion. I love the idea of giving something old new life. You can get so creative with some paint and some fabric, what a great idea! 

Pretty Tools of the Trade: Felted Pincushions

These adorable little love bird pincushions are from Feltmates over at etsy. The owner Yoko creates these and other cute felted animals, all hand felted with 100% wool using both the wet felting and the needle felting methods. So many colors to choose from, how sweet would one of these be in your studio? Functional art!
