I made one of these a million years ago. I thought it was time to try again.

Here she is, up in her tower-

I liked this view because you can see the spiral walking path.

And a Red-haired Rapunzel-

Isn’t that cup gorgeous?!

Another top view.

I hope that all my US friends can get some relaxing in on this long weekend. I spent yesterday working in the garden and now everything hurts!

I seem to be on a kick of imaginary vacation spots.

I’ve never made one like this before so a new adventure! Let’s go camping!

Next up in the pincushion world, what I’m dreaming about during these quarantimes. A getaway in the forest!

And #2 cabin choice for my imaginary vacation-

This cup is truly getting a new life because it has a major chip in the rim so could no longer function in it’s original purpose. I get a special delight when I transform a mug like this. I mean, it is so pretty! It’d be sad if it ended up in the trash.

I think of these little cottages on a hill as the classic tiny worlds. Along the lines of the lovely illustrations in this book- The Little House by Virginia Lee Burton.

And here are 3, all together-

Hope you are having a good weekend. It is a rainy day here in Boston so I have the perfect excuse to stay in my studio and play.

I am working on a batch of these. I’m lucky that I have a box of cups in waiting since I haven’t been visiting any thrift stores lately.

A cup with violets-

And a cup with summer flowers-
