Show And Tell Friday--Folk Art Pins

Make sure to visit http://kellishouse.blogspot.com/ to visit all the Show and Tell Fridays.

This week I decided to share my collection of handmade folk art pins. I've collected pins for many years and yes I do wear them. I have pins for most all the holidays--especially Christmas pins which I've tried to buy myself a new one every year since I was in high school, pins that are just fun, pins that are musical and my little gathering of folk art pins which I just love! The pins here are of wood (snowman & flag), wool applique (gold heart), clay (angel), punchneedle (raggedy annie) and the Santa is even on a domino. Each were made by special friends and usually tucked into a swap or sometimes just sent as a little surprise.........

....these are cloth (heart and liberty angel), wool (bee) and rughooked (sheep)--that one I made and it took me 2 hours to hook that little thing. Needless to say I don't do much hooking.
