Here is a picture of the back of the pincushion. Love it!
And here is a little closer snapshot of those sweet little pins. Aren't they just the neatest!
Thanks again my friend, that was soooo sweet of you.
Here is the latest photo of my WIP, Pennsylvania Pinwheel by CHS. I am closing in on finishing this one and I am not going to sleep until I finish this tonight. I am just dying to start on a Halloween project.
My hubby and I recently went on a day trip to Wyoming and I took this photo of an old train station that I think is in the process of being restored. I wonder if someone ever thought about turning it into a great restaurant! That would be awesome!
I took this photo of my sweetie on the side of the train station. I loved the patina of the rusty equipment and the beautiful thistles. Look how tall they are....one of them is as tall as my hubby!!! Yikes, be careful of those prickly leaves......they might bite!
Speaking of prickly leaves, check out this Cactus. We went to this little hole in the wall restaurant for dinner. You can see by the photo it was a Mexican restaurant (our favorite) and I thought the "chandelier" was hilarious, who would have thought a cactus would be the perfect choice of lighting???? Just had to share......he he he....
Well, that's all for now, I have a deadline on my Pinwheel and if I don't get stitching soon, I just might be up all night and into the wee hours of the morn. Thanks for visiting, I hope you had a fantastic weekend!!
Smiles...

Congrats on the beautiful RAK from Faye!! A treasure for sure!
Love the pics - especially the old train station.
I have the Pinwheel in my pile to do one day - can't wait to see how yours looks all finished up!
how lucky are you?! that is so cute!! and those pins, love them!!
What a beautiful RAK! Your pinwheel is amazing looking, too. I can't wait to see you finish it :) Love the photo of the old railroad station too...I can see that being turned into a restaurant or some kind of fun little knick-nack shops.
Take care!
Such a nice little RAK from Faye. It's lovely!
During our last trip through Wyoming we visited the old train station in Cheyenne which was made into a museum. Looks great, inside and out.
Lovely RAK from Faye. I have not seen such pretty pins before. One can only find such pretty pins in America. The Pennsylvania Pinwheel is awesome Jolene. I bet once framed it is going to be very striking wherever you hang it. Love the colours too. I would like to convert an old train station like that into a home. Just imagine all the light coming through those windows. First time I see a cactus "chandelier". : ))Very much in theme.

Pinwheel is looking great! My husband loves Wyoming - lived there for quite a few years in his younger days. Looks like a nice drive you had.
Faye is a sweetie! Love your WIP...I just love the colors in it. Can't wait to see more.

What a neat train station! You're right, it would be cool as a restaurant.
