This is one of the two sets of smalls that I have been accumulating items for over the years. The tape case finished today during #24HOCS is the last item, I think. I did save the left over materials from the needleroll kit that I used for this piece just in case something else inspires me. But I'm out of space in their box.
Some of the other pieces in the set:
 |
Scissors Fob - SB design
|
 |
A strawberry - my modification of a motif from the needleroll
|
The entire set - a dragonfly needle minder in the top of the box. Center top - the needleroll, made into a tool roll, upper right, the strawberry. Left to right on the bottom row: Thimble bag, needle case, ort tin, new tape measure cover, scissor fob. Scissors are green to match the lettering on the ribbon design and have a brown leather sheath that matches an antique leather memorandum folio (far right under fob and strawberry) that that was my mom's with a tiny brass pencil inside.

What a great collection of little stitcheries! A pleasure to look at each time you use them!
ReplyDeleteI'll confess to having a huge selection of smalls. Far more than any one needleworker would ever need. And I have plans to add more! I'm fascinated by those needlework caskets with all the little bits and bobs. I'll never be able to afford an antique one, so I compensate LOL.
