I made this tiny pin cushion while babysitting the little girls next door.
It had to be something that I could carry in my handbag and pick up and put down whenever I had a minute or two.
The edging is not finished yet: I have to wait till my new reading glasses arrive (about another 10 days)
so that I can see the stitches!
I made this bookmark using aida cloth and silk ribbons, threads and beads. I cannot remember when I made it but it was several years ago.
It includes crystals to add sparkle.
I do love silk ribbons. They are so lovely to work with.

Great, that worked! What I wanted to say in my original comment was that your bookmark is very pretty :)
Lovely pincushion Dian, so richly embroidered!! I love the bookmarks too, and have to agree that silk ribbon work is a lovely pastime. Nice to see your handiwork again. Hope the weather is becoming 'more normal', crazy up here!!
