An octo yo-yo starfish barnacle pincushion thinga-ma-jiggy. Maybe it's the fabric that I chose for this project. Perhaps if made in soft, flowery pastels, the results would have been different.
If you are interested in my method for attaching yo-yo's, please read my tutorial here.
The back is almost as scary as the front.
Back to the drawing board with this idea.
This picture is for Ferne who requested to see the button collection in the background of many of my photos. Here is a link to a post that I made last year with additional pictures of my button collection. I love buttons almost as much as I love fabric.
Hope you're having a fabulous day.

It's so good to know that others have the same experience I do...once in a while I have this experience and think..."why did I even make this?"
ReplyDeleteI, personally, think this is cute, minus the yo-yo's. I would proudly display my pins in it.
ReplyDeleteIt looks nice to me..and I love the polkadots fabric. Thanks for the tute...:). And I LOOOOOOVEEE your buttons collections..and how neatly you put them. Very inspiring ^_^
ReplyDeleteWow!!! I am having button envy and so very organized. Thanks for sharing Arlette.

I know this will probably come off as rude and I apologize now, but the pincushion would be cute minus the yoyo's because it just looked like nipples to me. Sorry
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was nipples as well, lol. I think it would be fantastic sans the yoyo's - can you just froggy stitch them? I like the flower/button embellishment in the middle, and the fabric is sweet - I think it just needs a little bit of MacGyvering to be perfection! Love your button collection too - you're very organized!
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of those huge pincushions with the little chinese men all around it. Do you remember those? My grandmother had one of those...love the buttons! So organized!
ReplyDeleteMadre mía qué cositas más preciosas haces, todo es muy bonito.
ReplyDeleteEspero que puedas traducir mi comentario de alguna manera porque no se inglés.
Un saludito!
I don't know Lettie, it looks fantastic to me! I am just drooling over your button collection. Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI like the pincushion. I think the color scheme is not as good as that of your other pin cushions but otherwise think its great!
ReplyDeleteIt's not so bad! The colors aren't what I would choose, but the shape and design are just fine! Becky g.
ReplyDeleteI adore the pincushion, love the polka dots, the darkish background, and the yo-yos on it!!
ReplyDeleteLooks nice to me...
ReplyDeleteGreat buttons collection!
Lettie, I don't think it looks so bad.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to see ideas that have gone amuck you should see some of mine....lol.
Take care ank keep creating.
Thank you for sharing a 'doesn't' - very brave, usually doesn't just makes it to the cutting room floor :) - and thank you for giving me a laugh this morning before I head off to work. I can't help but think boobies when I look at this pincusion - but I also think it would look fantastic without the yoyo's :)
ReplyDeleteps. bit envious of those beautifully organised buttons too ;)
Lettie, if only this comment had sound with it. I just about busted a gut reading these comments. Boy, did I need a good laugh...thanks for that.
ReplyDeleteAs for the pincushion.......I thought of nipples, too, but wouldn't have had the nerve to event type the word nipple if someone else hadn't first.
I gotta go get a tissue...
Love,
Amy
P.S. Believe it or not, I love the pincushion.
I actually like it.
ReplyDeleteI think it is very cute. I like the yo-yo's on it.
