I'm in the Garden

Here is a little tip for my sewing friends. My friend bought me a bamboo stiletto to keep fabric from shifting when sewing ends of seams. It also helps to hold ric-rac and ribbon in place when stitching along hems. Well it doesn't take long before the bamboo is splintered from the sewing needle. In place of the bamboo stiletto I tried wooden skewers, about 100 a pack for the fraction of the cost. They do splinter faster but I just throw it away and grab another.
I am still using the pack I bought last summer!

Just finished I'm in the Garden Annie. She wears a sun bonnet and comes with a basket to gather her herbs.
Strawberry Annie has strawberry buttons on her hat, at her waist and on her shoes....she comes with a large strawberry too....oh my!
The rocking horse is my grandson's but I think it is wonderful for my Annies too. :)

Thanks for visiting, wishing all wonderful, peaceful week ahead.
God bless.
