*YAWN*
springing ahead today ~
...hate losing that hour in the morning!
but it means it will be lighter later this evening :)
and for that I say.....YAY!
<~~~~~~~~~~>::<~~~~~~~~~>
and guess what I did?
I FINISHED it!!!!
ten-thousand stitches later....
{ok, maybe not that many ~ but out seemed like it!}
i finished my little
{but bigger than I initially thought it would be}
~ Pentagonal Sewing Box ~
whatever possessed me to make this I still don't know ~
other than it is sew pretty {pun intended}, practical & was really fun to stitch
although I complain about everything anyway ;)
and because I saw how pretty Susie's was and just had to give in to my creative muse...
 |
| cotton fabrics in browns, creams, beige, white ~ florals, tiny prints, bees & birds too! |
I lined the inside with old white wool,
well ~ except for the inside of the lid...
for that I used a pale hand dyed red scrap of wool.
I tied a strawberry emory to the front with crinkle-ribbon
to act as an anchor for the ribbon tie...
~ which wraps neatly around a large mother of pearl button
that I stitched to the lid.
I had so much fun making this ~
I plan to use it to hold my rug hooks, as it is the perfect size...
or buttons. yeah, maybe a whole slew of white buttons!
oh!
it can hold thread spools!....
~ well i can think of many uses
ha!
try your hand at making one ~
