It has been far too hot this week to work in my sewing room as it doesn't have air conditioning. Perth is having the hottest and driest summer on record, and with the hot days expected to continue for at least the next week, it may be a while before I start on any big sewing projects. Last night I decided to do a little bit of appliqué in front of the TV (in air conditioned comfort).
I love my new pincushion. The little toadstool ribbon finished it off perfectly.

Lovely lovely pincushion, it is adorable! Too right about the weather, we've had enough now. I just checked outside under the shade and it is 44C out here in the country!!! Time to spray the chooks with the hose again. Hugs, Anita.
Your pin cushion looks fantastic,well done.
cheers shez
Adorable! (I said that with a French accent, for some reason).
Have to agree...far too hot to do anything really! Your pincushion is cute :)
Very cute. It's been hot and humid in Sydney.
Very cute!
well, despite the heat I love your new work here!
Have a great Sunday,
love Maaike
That's really nice!
Over here in Germany, a record winter is coming to an end. We had so much snow this year ... Everyone is so looking forward to spring now!
Bye,

Ooh, love the pincushion!! And I have a weakness for Ribbons Galore, too!
Just as sweet as can be! Funny how something so small can be so inspirational!! ~karen
Gorgeous, with matching pins and all. Your needle turn applique is SO neat. Keep Cool sweetie xx
So cute! I love reading how hot is is elsewhere when I look outside & see 8 inches of snow :P
What a pretty pin cushion. Love your fabric colors.
Your pincushion is adorable! I love the bright colors and the cheerful applique. I do love to work on applique when it's too hot to be cooped up in a non-air conditioned space too, so I can relate to that feeling.
Such a cute pin cushion!
Such a pretty thing!
Love your blog and all your Japanese photos! I am mesmerised by the japanese craft books but have been too timid to get one - i wonder if you have any particular favourites and why??
The little ribbon just finishes it off beautifully. We have been watching the weather over your way, some warm days still to come!
So pretty, Lisa!! I love your pin cushion!!
Have a wonderful week, sweet!!
Love!

That's one cute pincushion, Lisa. I love love the colors you used.
Have a happy new week xxxx
Hope you get some relief from the high temps soon - cool cushion - and I might also add that your camera must be very good - great shots! Now the click on that toadstool link!!
Super duper cute, that ribbon is the icing! Hope the weather cools off for you. You'd think so being March already!
I love it too! Very cute.
That's adorable Lisa! I don't know if I could stick pins in it though -- it's too cute!
so cute!!!
very bright and sunny!
The toadstool ribbon is very sweet. It seems strange to hear how hot it is there when we've been experiencing highs of about 5 degrees celsius the last few days. At least spring is springing here so hopefully we'll borrow some of your warmer weather soon :) x

Oh what a sweet little pincushion. Applique is one of my favorite types of quilting. That cushion is almost too cute to poke with pins.

Beautiful applique, Lisa! I am just practicing needle turn myself at the moment and it's very addictive!
Beautiful photography too!!!
I hope your sewing room cools down real soon!
Hugs!

I love this cushion, and agree - that ribbon is perfect!
Wooo your applique is so perfect!
Very nice project, lovely colors!
So you live in Perth!
I've never been in Australia, but e read a funny book about your country and I fall in love for it!
Here is Winter and is a very rainy march ^_^
Greetings
Sweet!
Very nice applique! I'm lucky I have air con in my sewing room! (Just rubbing it in) In fact mine is the only room with air con in the house! Easy to justify when it's the home business room.
