NEEDLE BOOK FOR ALL TO ENJOY

HERE ARE PICTURES OF A NEEDLEBOOK I FOUND THIS WEEK IN A COLLECTION OF DOLLS THAT I PURCHASED TO PUT ON EBAY. I AM LISTING IT ON EBAY ALSO ON MONDAY NIGHT 14TH AT 7 PM LINDYS*LTD IS OUR SELLER'S NAME. BUT I WANT TO SHARE IT WITH ALL OF YOU, AS IT IS SO DIFFERENT. THIS NEEDLE HOLDER OR AS WE SOMETIMES CALL THEM NEEDLE BOOK IS QUITE DIFFERENT. IT IS MADE IN THE SHAPE OF A PERSON HOLDING ALL YOUR SEWING TOOLS.

SHE IS 8" TALL. AS YOU CAN SEE SHE IS HOLDING LOTS OF PINS IN HER DRESS, (SHE IS COMPLETELY MADE OF FELT). HER POCKET COULD HOLD YOUR THIMBLE AND SHE CAN HOLD YOUR SCISSORS BY STICKING THEM DOWN THE NECK OF HER DRESS! ON ONE HAD SHE HAS LOTS OF BUTTONS SECURED ON A LARGE SAFETY PIN AND ON THE OTHER A LARGE SAFETY PIN WILL HOLD MORE SAFETY PINS! HER LEGS ARE HOLDING SMALL SPOOLS OF THREAD AND IT CAN BE EASILY USED FROM THEM FOR YOUR MENDING!

SHE HAS BLACK HAIR IN BRAIDS AND TIED UP ON TOP THAT MAKES A HANGER TO HANG HER NEAR YOUR SEWING AREA OF IN THE LID OF YOUR SEWING BOX!

THIS IS REALLY VINTAGE! NEVER SEEN ONE LIKE THIS AND SHE IS DO CUTE. HER FACIAL FEATURES ARE EMBROIDERED. ENJOY HER, I HAVE FOR A FEW DAYS! AFTER ALL SHE IS A DOLL AS WELL AS A NEEDLE BOOK!

THIS WOULD MAKE SOMEONE VERY HAPPY FOR DISPLAY AMONG HER SEWING TOOLS. WE HAVE MANY COLLECTORS OF THOSE THINGS NOW! ENJOY! WHAT A MESS, BUT I CAN'T GET THE PICTURES WHERE I WANT THEM! SORRY.

NEW THINGS I HAVE MADE OTHER THAN CQ

SOME TIME BACK I MENTIONED THAT MY DAUGHTER AND I HAVE A SPACE IN AN ANTIQUE MALL -- CAROL'S PLACE! WE FEATURE COTTAGE STYLE AND SHABBY CHIC STYLE FURNITURE AND ALL THINGS OF HOME DECOR!

THIS PAST TWO WEEKS HAVE BEEN BUSY MAKING THINGS WITH BURLAP (WHICH IS REALLY A HOT ITEM RIGHT NOW IN THAT DECOR). HERE ARE PICTURES OF THE BURLAP PILLOWS WITH OFF/WHITE MUSLIN RUFFLES WITH STENCILS ALSO!

ALSO WE HAD FUN WITH THE NEW BLACKBOARD PAINT! SEVERAL COMPANIES MAKING IT NOW EITHER BY THE PINT OR QUART OR SPRAY CANS. THE MAN AT THE PAINT STORE TOLD US NOT TO BOTHER WITH THE SPRAY AS IT LEAVES BUBBLES ETC. AND PAINTING 2 COATS WITH A BRUSH LEAVES A NICE SMOOTH FINISH. SO.....

WE PAINTED THE CENTERS OF WHITE PLATES AND PIE PLATES AND WROTE ON THEM WITH CHALK "BOO!" AND "HAPPY HALLOWEEN", AND HAVE NOW CHANGED TO "HAPPY FALL" AND "HAPPY THANKSGIVING". FUN, FUN.
