Looking old & sweet..





I found these beautiful old postcards yesterday, they were still laying around and I decided that these were just perfect to use in my new little bears photo-shoot!

These cards belong to my mother, she has Etsy shops loaded with beautiful old cards!! I shall return them soon :-) Thanks mom for letting me use these!!!!

My week flew by! I can't believe it's already Saturday again tomorrow! Working on many things at the same time, not really wise but... sometimes there are so many things that need to be done, it turns me in to a chaotic person :-)

I've opened a new blog "The Old Pincushion" it's open for visitors but probably never ready :-) I'm planning on posting news and up-dates about The Old Pincushion shop here, also will there be tips and probably pattern and kit "walkthrough" help with photo's. I realize it's going to take me a lot of time to write everything down and make good photo's so I guess .. patience would be the key word.

Your very welcome to take a peak :-)

I would absolutely like to thank all the people who took the time to leave a sweet comment on my posts, they always make my day!!! I hope everyone had a super great Christmas & Holiday time, our days flew bey and our vacation is already over!

My shop "The Old Pincushion" is now open again, trying hard to get all the kits re-listed & will introduce new Chopper kits!!! I hope to finish and show my own little colorful example tomorrow :-) and list the new kits as well.
Only two bottles of patina paint available at this moment so if you need some, better hurry...

Also working on a new blog, Hurray!! The Old Pincushion blog, to help with my patterns and kits, news and tips!!

Think something to celebrate the beginning of the blog & new year might also be a swell idea :-) how about a give a way? I'm going to try and think of something nice to.. give..... think. think.. more thinking need to be done here..

Will be back posting more news soon!!!
