A while back I thrifted this super cute Collie planter:
Seen here with a Lenox turkey candle holder and a Mikasa First Birthday sippee Cup, my sweet collie planter has been waiting patiently to be repurposed.
He is now a lovely pin cushion and I heart him even more. I used some thrifted velvet to make the cushion and just popped it in there. I didn't need to glue it or anything. This is my first Collie item and I couldn't be happier.
Oh and crossing something off the to do list is great, too.

Ooooh, I'm inspired, he's fabbo! I used one of these vintage planters for an even easier project--filled it with glass chips and it's the soap dish in my bathroom.
It's darling! I think the small projects give me just as much satisfaction as the large ones. I think the feeling of accomplishment really helps motivate you to tackle the bigger projects!
The collie pincushion is lovely and cute! And i so feel you on the huge pile of unfinished but enthusiasticly started craft projects! Too many ideas. Let's call it a luxury.
That looks great! I do have several unfinished projects laying around. Maybe I will try and finish one tonight!
Clever girl! Great way to repurpose this sweet Collie. Love it!
Love*love*it! I ended up sticking a small felted pincushion in the back of my hot dog planter too!
He's so cute! Great way to repurpose a planter. :)
What a GREAT idea!! I have seen so many CUTE vintag planters and have just admired them but now I can see a better use.
I can totally understand about having a huge amount of projects or UFO's. If I let myself, I would have piles upon piles of UFO's. Instead, I just buy the supplies but have a hard time sometimes, just getting started.
Thank God for these blogs that inspire folks like us to start and finish our projects.
Thanks for sharing, Rebecca.
Thanks for that idea, I have one that has 3 collie pups. It is adorable.
