Needle Case for Floss Organizer

I made a needle case for one of my sisters.

We had supper on Thursday night as we both headed to meetings in the evening.

We had talked about organizers for embroidery floss a while back and she found one in her de-stashing. 

I exchanged 10 applique pins. I bought a box of 150 so I could easily let a few go.

I needed to transport them safely so why not make a quick needle case. I included a needle as well.

The alcohol ink is packed so it had to go as it was.

This organizer has fixed dividers which has it's advantages and it does hold the commercial floss bobbins as well as my DIY ones.

I dropped the needle case off this afternoon.

Nice not to have go shopping for what we need and we each get what we want.

 

Advent Calendar - Boxed

I've been working on another presentation for my Advent Calendar.  This provides a 6 x 6 inch clear box for it to be stored in every year which will reduce the wear and tear on the pages. A jute cord and pins are used to display all the cards a once. The crystal bead marker allows folks to track the count down to Christmas Day by moving it to the next pin every day.  The list of suggested Advent activities is included.

The left inset shows the calendar with all the parts in the box.

The right inset shows the marker on the pin for a given day

Here's a link to the other one in a frame.  Leave me a comment as to which one - frame or box is more appealing to you.  Looking forward to your feedback. Thanks.

The Advent Calendar Kit - Cards Only is available on my Calendar page.
