I have been reading a lot of post with pics of pincushions so I thought I would show you mine...the first one is my thread catcher that is always right were it is in the pic, the next one is a mouse that holds a spool of thread on its tail, the next 2 are birds a chicken and a cardinal, then a strawberry that sharpens the pins and a wooden heart that holds a spool of thread, thimble and pins...the little basket is a antique thimble holder....We got back from our trip and it is really cool here...we left 98 degree days for 40...we had a blast and the highlight of the trip was spending time with my husband on the top of the Eiffel tower and winning at poker....
