Distracted

I've been very distracted lately. We have a new arrival around here. He has been much sought after and waited for.

Meet The Accountant, I know it's an unfortunate name, so we've named him Buddy. He's very cheeky and quirky, so he should fit right in. He has already escaped from his stable once and has had to have new locks fitted to his door. He is a looker and quite a ladies man. This is the only descent photo I have right now and even that was taken by my cell phone. I'm sure more will follow, although I am going to try and not become one of those "mummy's"

The new addition has given me pause for thought. I now have an extra mouth to feed, so I'm going to have to start working a little harder :o) Maybe I should phrase it as I need to start working, again.

Pin Cushions

I'm sure everybody recognises this
The famous tomato pincushion, this one is mine, although it usually has more pins in it. I have owned it for years and only just realised that the strawberry is there to help sharpen your pins, who knew. Recently I have been looking for a new one and here are some of my favorites.

An upgrade to a pink velvet pincushion available from Wimble Bees is a real possibility, I really like this one, it feels.....decadent.

I found this little number fashioned from Amy Butler fabric by Buddy Designs, it's the material that I like about this one.

This is a particular favorite of mine, it's a Prickly Pear Pincushion by Prettylilthings, a little whimsical, but fun and it makes you smile.
