Felt Needle Book

This little book started it all.

I needed a place too keep my needles while working on 

a small shopping tote for my 2 year old niece.
I had a look on the internet and got a few ideas.

It had to be a quick and easy project, 

because there were other projects waiting.

The last embroidery work that I did was about twenty 

years ago. That was candlewicking. Before that it was in 

High School, in Mrs. van der Walt's Needle Work class.

It was a table cloth on which I spent hours!

During one Home Economics class I would not stop talking and

we were busy at the stoves learning how to make 

Koeksisters, so she threw a piece of dough at me.

I think the whole class remembered that day although 

I can not remember how the Koeksisters turned out!

Now the felt embroidery bug has bitten me and

there are more projects that I will share with you soon.

Altered Suitcase

Here is the sweet little suitcase.

It will be interesting to see how the suitcase will age, 

because there are a few different surfaces 

that I painted with the same paint.

The inside was done with paint, serviettes and gel medium.

After the market I will use the suitcase to display 

my handmade cards.

Have a lovely week!
