Pin Keeps
Pin Keeps are totally useful and pretty ways to hold your sewing pins and needles. I have seen so many fine ones, and ones with animals and dolls and fruit, and well, there are countless ways to make them. I have made a pin keep doll for my friend Barbara. It is a shame it has taken so long to finish it, but at last, here she is. I like dolls for pin keeps because they are not just still objects, they have personality's and sewing with them in the room is such a pleasure. They serve you well and are pretty to look at. I hope this pin keep dolly will be a trusted and faithful holder for Barbara's sewing things, and that she will enjoy just having her around.

ReplyDeleteI am always amazed at how you put so much personality in your dolls, Martha.
ReplyDeleteOh, I am sure your friend will love having this pretty little girl helping out in the sewing room. She IS adorable!
ReplyDeleteOh Martha ! She is adorable ! Thank you so much. I will probably want to put her on my bed instead of the sewing table !! :>)

Update on the 'wherebaouts' of this lovely Pin-Keep Doll....She is still on my Living Room table where I keep a fresh bouquet of flowers in front of the window for all to see. I am not ready to hide her away in the craft room just yet ! I am still working on naming her...thinking of Kathleen after my Mom :>) - Thank you for all the work, love, and creativity you put into her for me. Eventually she will get to hold my pins next to the sewing machine!!
