The Perfect Combination Shoes & Sewings...

Well were back from vacation and it was wonderful to just get away and relax. No daily routine or worries, just BLUE skies and warm weather. It was a blessing to get away! It's been some time since I posted and I am going to try to be better about it. I'll have plenty to share with you as I start to plan and create things for my son Brandon's high school graduation. I don't want to wait to the last minute, because I want to enjoy every moment. Only 25 days left of school. It's hard to believe. These next few months have the calender filled with upcoming activities.

I few months ago I posted some of my wonderful finds from my favorite thrift store, "Rescued Treasures". I wanted to create some pincushions for my Etsy Shop. Since I am "Hooked On" Shoes and sewing I wanted to share with you two of my creations using these two favorite things of mine. Here's what I came up. I have to say that there are my favorites... If you like shoes and Sewing here is the perfect combination.....

Well before I could begin the pincushion, Shawnee left me a comment letting me know she wanted to purchase the flower pincushion once I completed the project. How sweet was that! I sent her a photo of both the pincushions once they were done and she wants both of them. So sorry, I won't be listing either on my Etsy. I was lucky enough to sell them both!

I love the leapord fabric I used for the pincushion. It adds a bit of bling to the vintage look of the shoe. The ceramic flowers are just a wonderful detail.

Here's the flower shoe with it's embellishments....

I added some old buttons to embellish the long dressmaker sewing pins I used... A bow made of different ribbons and buttons finished off the project. I hope Shawnee enjoys the pincushions. She is going to give the vintage shoe pincushion away as a gift. I plan on stocking up the Etsy Shop with some aprons and new pincushions for mother's day. I have a couple of baby shoes that I am working on this week. What a perfect gift for a new mom who loves to sew. Hope you go and enjoy the Spring weather today. Go do something that makes you smile.
