A beautiful pin cushion

I was going to entitle this post "I've got a lovely pear", but even Mr HB agreed that it sounded a little bit risque.

But I do indeed have a very special and beautiful pear - pin cushion, that is. I won it in a giveaway over at Katie's 100th post giveaway at May the cloth be with you. It came in the post today, in a beautiful box and with some equally beautiful words.



Isn't Katie's hand stitching lovely?



I am going to really enjoy using it. I feel very lucky to have something so lovely for my sewing table. Thank you very much Katie, its just beautiful.

    *sigh* The art of lovely packaging is one that completely escapes me...I am usually lucky to actually get it into an appropriate box! lol

    Lucky you! What a sweet prize!

    You do indeed have a lovely pear.
    Perhaps I needed Mr HB's input when I titled a post "nice beaver"...
