As I continue to fill part of the days stitching, I'm finding all sorts of "necessities" required to be considered a true needle artisan.

I don't normally use a hoop, however find it useful when stitching one over one.

An old needle case found at an estate sale is a fond reminder of a day spent with a friend.

This wool piece was made to keep on hand an extra pair of scissors...or two. How many scissors does one person need?!

An old
bamboo chop stick, difficult to find today, is useful when stuffing any small project.

And one cannot have too many pin cushions! Notice the "ring" on the linen? Remember to remove hoops when not
stitching.
Can there be too many "necessities"?

I need to revisit pastels, it seems I always buy the darker primitive colors of wool.....
Kim the flower pin cushion does have a strip of wool for the flower. It was made by a local needle artisan in our area...she makes the most wonderful pin cushions using tart tins also. I did make the other wool piece myself but not my design.
Thank you to all for stopping by...happy day!
Hope you're staying warm
Have you been to the new Hobby Lobby? Can you believe I HAVEN'T? I think I shall venture over there (heck I could WALK to it) later today!
