Here's a bit of stash that I've fallen in love with recently - I always wanted to get a needle minder just to try them out but I kept putting it off - they were pretty, but I didn't think they'd make that much of a difference.
Then I saw this one on sale and thought 'why not'? Because that was one of the books I liked that they made us read in school.
Well, I found out that I love a needle minder! So handy!!! And since I adore books and reading, I decided that I needed a couple more, so I wouldn't have to transfer this one from project to project.
I used the craft portion of my last payday for these:
So cute! My camera focused on the printed background instead of the books; they are not that fuzzy! I'm hoping the seller (PinoyStitch, on etsy) will do an Agatha Christie title. She does have a poll where you can vote for the next book you'd like to see, and she added Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express for me. So I will be keeping my fingers crossed! She's got a lot of other titles I want, too, but I found a seller on Facebook that will do round button-style ones to order, so I'm saving back now to get one with Spike on it XD XD XD
I also bought this needle holder from her:
I may get another of those, too, as I've lost this one three times and counting... I had to borrow the picture from her shop.
Those are so cute! Needleminders are so useful.
ReplyDeleteThose are really cool! I love the book idea for the needle minder. I've never used one myself; some of my floss organizers have a magnet on the top for the needle but I just stick it in the top of the Aida cloth in an area that won't be stitched.
ReplyDeleteOh they do look so pretty. I never thought I would need a needleminder 'cause I always put it on top right edge of the fabric when I'm done. But seeing these, whoa, makes me want to buy one now. Thanks for the info.
ReplyDeleteI recently got RAKd a couple of them and now I'm not sure I can live without them! I used to put them in an unstitched area but have had them rust before. :l Love your little book ones. I'd probably get P&P, Hobbit, or Watership Down myself.
ReplyDeleteRealized post-publish that sounds like the needle minders rusted, yikes. Just needles. /derps elsewhere now :b
DeleteLove your new stash Tama. I've never used a needle minder either.

I don't use a minder but these are cute! My fave is Nancy Drew because I read her when I was growing up, actually I may have to read her again lol
ReplyDeleteI have never tried a needleminder, but those ones look gorgeous:) Like the idea of the book-theme:)
