I did this cross stitch earlier in the year but couldn't find the blog where the design came from. I stumbled across it again last week so found some finishing ideas. If you like pears and cross stitch you should definitely check out Marly's blog.
And these 1/2" hexies have been hanging around for quite some time. They are now a nice little spring clip purse.......because I need another purse as much as I need another pin cushion!
I hope you find time for some stitches today.

Such pretty little finishes! I love the pin cushion and the pear especially. I am terrible at finishing little things - I should make this a goal for next year!
ReplyDeleteI love little finishes! They are always so cute. And I love that purse!
ReplyDeleteSometimes it feels good to get some smaller finishes, gives you back the urge to tackle those bigger ones.
ReplyDeleteLoving all of your smaller projects they are amazing! Seeing your little pear makes me want to resurrect mine that I made......but it would involve some unsewing and resewing...... Maybe not.lol
Happy sewing
Lovely finishes, Susan. I love the pin cushion. Will have to go check out the tutorial. You can never have enough pin cushions or purses!
ReplyDeleteWhy not collect pin cushions and purses, it is a harmless pursuit and certainly cheaper then race horses or Royal Doulton china! I love the pear and the purse. The pin cushion pattern hasn't been downloaded...yet!
ReplyDeleteYou have finished off some beautiful projects Susan.
ReplyDeleteEach of your projects is beautiful, no wonder you keep making small projects - they are so delightful!
ReplyDeleteLovely finishes Susan. Funny howmwe balk at completing some projects for a while until inspiration strikes once again.
ReplyDeleteyour wool pin cushion is just gorgeous Susan. Wool is so lovely to work with. Have done a couple of classes recently with wooden spool designs which is mainly what she works in and I have fallen in love with it. Love your cross stitch pear too
DeleteAll lovely, particularly the pear!
ReplyDeleteLove your purse and pin cushion, the wool is really beautiful.x
ReplyDeleteDear Susan,
ReplyDeletelovely projects, good you made a little clip purse and a pincushion, because that is what you still needed......could not have resisted both of them and the cross stitched pear is wonderful too.
Greetings,
Sylvia
Just lovely projects as always, the pincushion is super cute.
ReplyDeleteLol I know exactly what you mean Susan by putting off bigger projects for smaller ones! Cute finishes you have there!
ReplyDeleteI am sure you will fire up with the bigger projects when the time is right...love the pincushion and the pear they are both so cute and the little purse is great too...good to get some finishes and you have three!!!!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute finishes and now you might be ready to work on some of your bigger projects seeing that you've completed 3!
ReplyDeleteGot to love a finish - whether it is small or large - and these are gorgeous! I especially love the purse in neutral hexagons.
ReplyDeleteHi Susan ,wow I just love your finishes,they are all so lovely,well done xx
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely to have some finishes... and those are in your lovely style. A pincushion, a pear and a purse... sounds like a book name...

Lovely little finishes Susan. They must put a little smile on your face when the last stitch is sewn.
ReplyDeleteSuch cute projects!
ReplyDeleteI often procrastinate big projects in favour of small. I like little things, and goodness knows I do not need another quilt in this house. Also, it is easier for me to give the little things away.
Finishes, wahoo! big or small a finish is a finish and with small projects they rack up quicker! Loving them all...enjoy :)
