Japanese cotton handstitched sashiko style pincushions, plumply filled with pure wool neps and secured in indigo-dyed wooden eggcups. Each one is unique. 

And model G is a modern take on kintsugi - the Japanese practice of honouring a damaged item by repairing it and filling any cracks with lacquer dusted with powdered gold. The eggcup split while drying out after its indigo dyeing. I’ve sealed the crack and given it a ‘gold’ finish!

The pincushions are 5.5cm high from the wooden base to the top of the plump little dome, and approx 4.5cm in diameter.

🌿Tiny jug of tiny flowers (and marjoram for leafiness).
Partnered with two perfect greenfinch feathers found on the garden path. 
Very little else was left - a sparrow hawk’s dinner, alas.

🧶my comfort zone knitting!

I used a lush combination of @bordermillshop pure alpaca sportweight and a pleasing gradient of @wee_county_yarns 10gm balls for a dead simple sea-inspired cowl. 
Washed and lightly roasted in the summer sun, ready for winter days. 
Obviously will have to wear these earrings at such times😉
Sunday morning
All is calm
How very fortunate I am to live in this corner of the world

A wee Sunday windowsill with all the shades from my unkempt garden. 
I know they won’t live long indoors but they make me happy🤗
