For the last couple of weeks I have been unable to work with both sides of my brain. My left brain has been so-so but my right brain has been slow-slow. In simple terms, the left brain is the logical, analytical side of the brain, while the right side serves the creative forces. I'm not sure of the moment when I came to a creative and blogging standstill.....but I became aware of it one morning when I couldn't find my oomph.
I decided that I needed to get back on the proverbial horse because I was missing my friends. I was missing the rhythm and the "excitement" of making something and being able to share it.
So these delightfully simple pincushions are my attempt at shaking up my right brain and getting back in my groove. I love Fiestaware and I have quite a few of the different colors. Wouldn't it be fun to make a pincushion in every color?
I'd like to thank Connie from Quilting by the River for featuring Simply Miss Luella and my mochi quilt on Linky Party Tuesdays. Connie is one of the kindest, most creative bloggers around. She has a way of making people feel special!
I'm excited about my very first one on one swap with Lizzie from Tasmania. It's a thrill to think about getting a gift all the way from Tasmania and from someone as talented as Lizzie!

LOVE your pincushions. Simple, colorful, lovely. I am glad you shared them.
These are SOO cute!! You can never have too many pincushions and I think you SHOULD make one to match every single color of Fiestaware!And then come over the make one to match every single color that I have!!
Aw, you say the nicest things, thank you. I am really looking foreward to our swap.
You pin cushions are adorable, I especially love their matching cups. Great pics.
Looks like your creative vibe is well on it's way back! I love Fiestaware too! I don't have any pieces yet, however, I have admired it from afar!
I would say that you are back! Those pincushions are adorable!

I just love the simplicity of these yet they make a statement and your photos are eye catching! I'm due for new dishes...I've lived with a plain off white for years to match whatever table decor I have....but just seeing these....shoot...decisions!!!

The pincushions are great on their own, but putting them in the cups really makes them pop. Those pictures are really incredible!

I love your pincushions they are beautiful. As for Connie you are right she is the greatest. When you feel blue she is a ray of sunshine. Lets call her the Creative Fairy, helping lost quilters get their groove back. Ha ha glad she helped you too!
Those pincushions are adorable and I love your Fiestaware! Have you already made placemats or mug rugs to match every color? The possibilities are endless!
What is it about a simple pincushion? They just make you happy, don't they...love the colors! Glad you're getting your mojo back.
Gorgeous pincushions!!
I've been ill the past couple of days and reminded how little time I have to be slow!!
I hope the shaking has retrieved your oomph! xx
Yeah for finding your mojo! Those pincushions are adorable. You know, mug rugs would be awesome with that fiesta ware too... :)
great idea
you are doing physiotherapy for your brain - clever 'left brain' logic to fire up you 'right brain'. These are so sweet. Found you via TGIFF
I think your pincushions are absolutely delightful with the tea cups. Thanks for showing us.
Very cute ;)
Love the pin cushions especially in those tea cups!!
What a great way to get back on the horse , those pin cushions are gorgeous especially posing in those fabulous cups. Fancy a cuppa of pinnies anyone? :)
Simple but oh sew lovely! I love your blog and always look forward to your posts!
I just love your pincushions. They are so delightful - each in a tea cup! I think we maybe are in the same mood for the moment - and that pincushions are the solution. They are just the right amount of work and thinking at the moment.
I love the way you matched your pin cushions with your Fiestaware. Your pin cushions are really cute.
Your little pin cushions are so beautiful! Whoop whoop!!
I love your little pincushions! (And the cups and saucers!)
I can't get over how lovely your pincushions are and how beautifully they go with the cups and saucers. I will be featuring this tomorrow morning at our Party, thanks so much for sharing with us at Link It Up Thursday.
I really like your color pallette!
