Thread Rainbow

Since Needle Necessities is no longer going to be in business, I decided to buy a few skeins of floss. It helped that the threads were 25% off at my LNS ~ http://www.needlecraft-corner.com/Thread Rainbow They came in the mail today!!

Halloween Fairy

....this is one I completely forgot to post a picture of when I had made her into a Cube-it. It is a bit large, but still pretty. She's posing with a few of my "cat friends." Halloween Fairy

Bluebird Box

I pulled out my Bluebird Box from Nan and worked on it a bit yesterday. I did the panel that will eventually be the back of the box. The top was already done. Two more sides and the bottom are all that is left to do.Bluebird Box I looked at the instructions for making the bluebird from the wool felt. It doesn't look too difficult; hopefully, when I'm ready to make it, I'll still feel that way:)

Here Be Dragons!

Needle GuardianMy Needle Guardian needlecase by Teresa Wentzler. This was stitched on Lavender Wisper Belfast with just a few changes, the color of the perle cotton and the bead color. I was so lucky to find a braid that matches the colors in the Dinky Dyes Aerlie thread that is used for the border. I also tried something new for the closure. I used these really strong little magnets. I put them on the inside of the fabric and cardboard. Here's a picture of what I did with the inside...Needle Guardian (inside)There are three small pockets that can hold your packets of needles or scissors or needlethreaders or just about whatever you like, besides the wool felt needlepages at the top.
