I always had a thing for pincushions but what have carrots to do with pincushions ?
I didn't bake a Carrot Cake either, instead I bake my first Banana Bread on Monday night. This easy recipe adapted from Joy of Cooking is really a quick and easy but I made one change, I added almonds. Loved the aroma from the cinnamon that filled my kitchen while its in the oven.
Back to pincushion, meet Chef Carat. Its from some ideas I have been toying. Always wondered if its possible.

So what do you think ? I welcome your views.
Frame Pincushion inspired by the one given by Mel at the NNC Anniversary Meet, thou not as fancy as the one from Mel, picture below.
I had this little frames for a very long time, never quite know what to do with it since its too small for photos except those passport size photos which I am not too fond of as you can guess, I always ended up looking either like on "WANTED" list or something scared the hell out of me !
Anyway, stuffing this up ain't easy, now I know and I would finish it differently if I ever had a next, for now do excuse that shabby finishing.
It amazed me now on how Mel's pincushion look so perfect, all 18 pieces ! (If I recalled correctly) with that gorgeous frame !

A totally forgotten piece. Stitch this so long ago never get to finish it until I need to practice finishing of a flatfold before I went on to finished one for Dani. Apparently, one practice is not good enough.
Believe is finally almost done. Its a bit intimidating with the french knots, so I'll get it done when the feel surface. I must start the final part soon
I am ending my post with a little teaser for my next post
Thank you everyone who came by and took time to leave your comments, I so appreciate.
Happy Crafting !

I love the carrots Lillie. Your stitching and finishing look good. Always fun to try something new.
That carrot pincushion turned out really well. Other ideas I have seen include a teadup being turned into a p/c, and also an empty ( used up ) lipstick.
