I am a daughter, a sister,a aunt, a wife, and a mother. I'm also a citizen, a resident, a community member, a neighbor,and a homeowner. Lastly I'm a supporter, a learner, a friend, and a human being.
BROWN Earthy and humble, you are often mistaken for being plain, when you are quite interesting. Your gentle spirit causes you to be attractive to others who are searching for geniune friends.

What is Pink Saturday?
My fairy name
Your fairy is called Oak Goblinfly
She is a bringer of riches and wealth.
She lives in forests of oak and lime trees.
She is only seen at midday under a quiet, cloudless sky.
She decorates herself with leaves and berries. She has gentle green wings like a butterfly.
I'm posting Raggedy Ann today, (Tuesday instead of Wednesday) because tomorrow is Fairy day! What does Raggedy Ann have to do with a 2 inch, covered, little jar?I CAN envision something.......hummmm,
might be getting a little complicated now.
Stripes, glass and felt,
a little lace and those things could take shape.
a clever way to stick glue while giving it time to dry.
Aw, she is a pincushion with heart straight pins. My very first pincushion!
The container can hold the pins while the stitcher is not working. Lid off while working-pins in use, meanwhile the container can be used as a thread catcher. Notice I made Ann's ribbon long enough to tie a set of small snippet scissors?
I need to study her to figure out Andy, I'm stumped as to what to do about a sailor cap. Too bad I couldn't be creative with a thimble!
That might not be as funny as it sounds. C&G Design

What an ingenious idea. Where in the world do you come up with such clever ideas? Ann is quite the lovely & useful lady.
Hi Dawn! I've been busy once again and am catching up. I love, love, love that pincushion!! How freakin creative you are! You should have your own shop somewhere selling your wears! And, of COURSE an Ann pincushion makes so much sense for YOU! I smiled widely when I saw it! You know I like making pincushions...you've see some of them on my blog. I have been thinking a lot about making some more lately. I just might try the jar type...it's a great idea. How's your garden doing with all this rain? Are ya sick of it yet? We all are....maybe sun tomorrow...thank God! Talk to you soon my friend.

Fabulous idea. I am so not creative right now, I am jealous. Rain, rain...hugs, Kathleen

That's a great idea! Always in need of practical solutions to use up "junk", right?
