My first ever pinkeeper. I was really pleased with the results as I am definitely not into sewing lol. I made this and the little fob to match for AnnT's birthday which is today - Happy Birthday Ann -. I know Ann loves the Little House Needlework designs 
and thought an alphabet would blend in with them. Although it doesnt show up here it is stitched on a lovely blue fabric, and I found a pretty blue sprigged fabric to back it with. I also made the little swarovski pins. The blue marking pins (on the front of the pinkeep) which I originally made to go with this looked so dull against the swarovski pins that I changed my mind and made pretty blue pearl ones instead. I did her initials on one side of the scissor fob to match. On the other side I did a wee stitching angel which was a freebie I found through a link on Su's site (Contemplating My Needle and Thread). I am please to say Ann seemed thrilled with her gift.

How do you make your own pins, they are beautiful. Do you need to use glue?
