Wool Felt Needle Case – Corinne Lapierre

 

Of course, a birthday necessitates a new start right?

So, for my birthday this year I decided to try something a little different  from my usual cross stitch and have a go at something new...........wool felt!

I purchased this needle case kit early last year, but it just sat in the cupboard in my craft room collecting dust until now.

The kit came with everything I needed to complete it, the only thing I added to it was a tiny bit of silk ribbon to make a tie.

I loosely followed the  suggested decoration on the front and also added some stitching to the inside too.

Although I have needle books in each of the three Etui's that I've stitched in the past, they live with the projects and aren't actually used, so this little one will be used and hopefully I'll not lose so many needles when I'm stitching. 

 

Happy Stitching!

Best Made Plans Take A Nose Dive!

 Happy Birthday to me, happy birthday to me………..how on earth did I get to 67 so quickly!!

I was supposed to be in France this weekend, but thanks to a car bomb scare at the channel tunnel yesterday and a 6 hour lock in, we didn’t end up going.

We were the lucky ones because we made it into the air conditioned terminal at 10am and at 10:30 they locked everyone in.  Our friends weren’t so lucky and were stuck outside in their car for 4 hours before being turned away.

At 4:30 we were given the all clear and the option to continue onward or cancel and re-book and we chose the latter, as the other four were already on their way home.

I’m really disappointed but these thing happen I guess, and the way I see it is that everyone is safe. It was such a shame, especially as I missed the same trip in April because of my hip replacement.

So today I’m going to do nothing but sit in the garden and stitch!!

My birthday start was going to be Might Acorn from Blackbird Designs, but my fabric still hasn't arrived, so instead I'm going to start 'Which Witch' from La-D-Da.

I purchased it as a kit, complete with project bag, chart, Roxy Floss (Vampish) and 28ct Linen (Ooak) from Evertote.

Just look  at all those Black kitties in the windows and on the roof!

I treated myself to a couple of other little pressies too.

Two lovely ‘Autumn project bags from Pauline, SewBeBags on Instagram, and she included a sweet little grime guard too, which was a nice surprise.

The other things were these two little wool felt kits.

I had been eyeing up the needle case for a little while, then I noticed the sewing pouch as well, and before I knew what had happened my finger hit ‘buy it now’ Lol!

Happy Stitching!
