New pictures -On Wings of Song - Inspirational Gifts

This year I decided to make an inspirational gift for each of my club members. This is the first one and it reads,
"with a song in your heart,
you'll soar to new heights"
I made this out of vintage pink ribbon and glass glitter, just have to complete the tag.
I have finally completed this, the tag is double sided with more encouraging words and inside the scrolled wings are more words.

Waste not, Want not...............

The old saying, "Waste not, want not," couldn't be more true in making this pincushion heart.

I had been saving all my scraps of fabric from my recent sewing activities, I just can't bear to throw any away and knew I would come up with an idea to use them up. Well here is my 'waste not, want not' pincushion heart, made entirely from scraps of fabric, a combination of wool, cotton and ticking, sewn together in a crazy patchwork style and stuffed with more scraps of fabric. Two buttons and a bit of ribbon finishes it off.It was fun to make, oh so easy and I love the weight the fabric stuffing gives to the heart.
