I just gotta give a MEGA big shout out to .......... Kristen over at Meadowbrook - she's had to organize the biggest blog hop I've SEEN!!!!!
Today is my day for Pin-It!!!! I'm so excited! (can you tell! Really! Can you!!)
Sooooooo .... after my pumpkins from last year's Wicked Hop .... (Are they not the cutest things in the world!!) I feel in love with pin cushions ..... :) Well, not love love love - but pretty close. I thought for this it would push me to do something I've been dying to do. I want a "dress form" - I want one! I would love a BIG BIG one in my room made out of medal - I've seen them all over the internet - but getting one up here - a rather hard feet! And finding the room in my room - yeah - not happening! So onto a small one! :)
I was randomly searching the internet for a pattern - I found something - I have NO idea where - and I'm sorry to not give you credit whoever you are. (I'll not post the pattern because of that) - But! Using her pattern as inspiration - You can pretty much draw a "fat" vase - and it works great!! And, because I love my things a little round and cuddly and pudgy - free handing the pattern works great! 
AND! Presenting 3 of the beautiful wooden antique thread spools ...... are they not perfect for this? I had no idea how to incorporate then - Luckly I had a few parts of a dowel - that fit right in the little top PERFECTLY - it was almost like this was meant to be. Talk about happy moment for this lady!
Anyways! Onto decorating ........ Again, I have a little wee bit of a problem with buying pretty things! SO into my scrapbooking stash I went - and again - perfect!! :)
Guess what's not perfect - my relationship with Blogger and their method of adding photos to your posts - and then not keeping the rotation that it should be - @#@#$@#$@#%$#%#$^
Please take a peek at the other people today!! :)

We did the little dress form pincushions in a guild sew-saturday - everyone designed for their personality and it was so much fun.

Great job. Thank you for sharing :)
such a great idea - I love it! I would love a rainbow pincushion :-)
Pretty dress form! The pumkins too. Thanks for sharing!
They look fantastic! Amazing idea. I would feel a little wicked sticking pins in though...... But hey, no head so no screaming right? I loved your pumpkins too!
Very very cute. You did a great job.
What a clever idea! they are great. They would be cool in crazy patch or Victorian/shabby chic - anything really - love them

Thank you for sharing your lovely pincushions, they are rather unusual.
As summer is fading fast in England I would rather like a bee or sunflower themed pincushion. Thanks for a fun giveaway.

I never would have thought of this type of pincushion, but it really works! Great job!
Great pincushions! I think I am shaped like one of them! :-)
Adorable! I never knew before this Hop how much I love pin cushions, lol! Wow, my favorite colors are blues and greens, and my themes would be out-doorsy. :)
Great dress forms / pin cushions and you are right those pumpkins are cute.

Very creative pin cushions and a great way to fill your need for a dress form. I love the little spools used as a base for the forms--great idea! I love Halloween so creep me out if I am the lucky winner-lol!
I love your style! babscorbitt@ gmail dot com

What a lovely idea! Thanks for sharing!!
Great job on your pincushions. Love the idea of a dress form. Spring would be a lovely choice.
Great little dress forms. And using the wooden spools was a perfect idea. I think a Halloween one would be a great decoration.
Those are so clever and such a nice use for the old spools.
Great dress form pincushion. I don't know why you had trouble with the orientation of your photos. Did you try making them larger and see if that did changed them to upright? Never had that issue with Blogger and I hope it doesn't happen to me either, lol.
As much as I like the dress form I'd really like to have one of your pumpkin pin cushions!

Cute pincushions! For the pictures check the way they are turned on the main picture screen where you upload from the camera. I only had a problem once and that solved it.
I love your dress form pin cushion! This was a great idea. A green one would be lovely! or any color, really.
Thanks for sharing your dress form pin cushions. Last summer my husband and I spent 3 months camping in the Yukon & Alaska. Absolutely loved our time in the Yukon. We will be returning. If I should be so lucky as to be the winner of your giveaway, a pink dress form would be perfect. A northern Manitoba quilter understanding your shipping woes.
I need to make a dress form one too....
So lovely! I also love dress form. What about red, yellow, orange? Or blue and white. I love all colours.
What a cute pin cushion! Now just make it much bigger and you'll have your dress form!
Adorable - very shabby chic which I love! Pink of course... roses would be Ooh La La!
cute pincushions! On the dress form, I would put purple and green and sew books, dogs, cats, and quilts on it. Thanks for the giveaway! vickise at gmail dot com

I concur with your feelings about having a dress form. But...I don't want one with MY shape, I want it to have MY dream shape! lol Very cute pincushions and the spools worked out beautifully.

The dress forms are adorable, but sadly I'm not a girlie girl :) I'm more the halloween primitive gal.
Cute pincushions! Thanks for sharing.
Ah technology! It is so nice to know that I am not the only one that wants to pull my hair out at times. lol Your pincushions are fantastic. My daughter is just starting gr 7 family studies and needs a pin cushion ... she loves Halloween. Maybe a primitive style pumpkin or a little black cat. lol
You have made my day. I can't tell you how much I laughed at the though of being built like a fat vase myself! LOL! Great idea though, I think I have to play around with drawing a likeness of me now! tee hee.
Nice job, I like your cushions :)
Very cute.
Love your pincushions. I'm just getting started on my pin cushion collection, so would love anything you came up with. thanks for sharing.

Sew neat pincushions. Looks like you are having fun.
If I were lucky enough to win your giveaway, could I have a pumpkin like you showed in the first post? So sweet of you to offer to make a custom pin cushion for whoever is lucky enough to have their name pulled.
Lovely pincushions and I really like your fabric and color you use on them. Lovely blog with lots of wonderful work.
Take care!

Wedding theme is pretty.
I love your little dress form cushions. Any colour would be lovely if I win one. Or even a pumpkin one, as they are fabulous too.
I have no idea what I'd like as a pincushion...... you would have full creative license LOL!
