Peter Rabbit
This sweet little fellow is made from linen,
sitting on a pin cushion that is also made from linen.
He has a carrot scissor fob and a little
wooden egg that opens up.
The little egg just pulls apart to reveal a tiny old thimble,
which is laying next to a vintage scissor.
I gave him plenty of carrots to keep him happy.

This is one of the sweetest make-do's
I have ever made.
I love the little dove made from
off-white wool with its over dyed
wool wings and tail.
The pin cushion was part of the same
fabric...just a deeper color.
I am always amazed how this is done.
I put my little dove in a wool nest, for which I
gathered and braided fabric strips and different wool.
I crochet her little thimble keep.
She is nesting on a screw topped tin canister.
Six tiny little strawberries are attached to
the pin cushion.
The thimble is very old and about 1/2" big.
You can unscrew the canister by holding the
canister top underneath with your left hand,
and turning the canister with your right.
I have filled it with vintage sewing notions.
This little treasure measures 8 1/4" tall.
The price is $ 150.00
plus shipping and handling.
