~Pin Keep Swap with Jen~

It sure was a lot of fun again this year with Ravenwood Whimzies' 2nd Pin Keep Swap. My partner was Jenny of: The Country Mouse. The above photo is the pretty pin keep that she made for me. It is her own original design. Jen also sent the lovely strawberries pillow and a bag of strawberry candies. Thank you so much, Jenny- I love them all! Thanks to Wendy also for hosting this fun swap. Pin keeps are one of my favorite items.

This is the pin keep that I made for Jenny. It is from a pattern by Brenda Gervais of: Country Stitches Online. It was bought from Valerie of: The Wooden Acorn. Gotta love the rabbits and mice! They are two of my favorite prim items. Pin keep is made with wool felt, with a homespun tie around mouse's neck. His tail is a rusty wire. Emery has a thimble for a hat. I added the little wooden spool of thread, and a bag of vanilla potpourri. This pattern is just too cute, isn't it?
