Something new in my Decorative Sewing Pins & More shop on Etsy. Needle minders are great for all your stitching projects whether it be
cross stitch, embroidery, or hand quilting. There is a very strong
lightweight Rare Earth magnet attached to the decorative minder, which
you put on the front of your fabric. A second external magnet is placed
behind your fabric to hold the minder in place.
Using my stash of vintage Mary Engelbreit fabric, I have created a pair
of Floral magnetic needle minders. My needle minders are each
individually handmade, therefore each one will be slightly different
from photos shown here.
These needle minders provide a place for you to store your needle when
it is not in use. No more wondering where that needle went to until your
foot finds it in the carpet. Not too big and not too small, this 3/4
inch needle minder is perfect for large and small projects, or get one
for each of your projects.
Thanks for stopping by and taking a look! :-)
I'm not much of an after the Holidays bargain shopper but when Lucy mentioned on Facebook last week that Mary Engelbreit had some cute stuff available at Michaels Crafts for Valentine's Day that was all the inspiration I needed to get out and go see.
What do these remind you of?? I found these little Cherries (at least to me they are) in the Christmas stuff mark down from $1.29 a bunch to a quarter each.
Cute little ME Valentine take out containers are available for .99. The pink decorated clothes pins were marked down to .60 for the package.
Lots of cute stuff in the $1.50 bins like the Mary Engelbreit stamps in the first photo, several designs of cross stitch kits, and the mini scrapbook paper packages.
I picked up a couple of the little wooden bird houses for $1.50 and was inspired by the ME paper.
First I painted all the edges with some white acrylic paint.
Then it was cut...cut...cut...and glue...glue...glue. Did you see the little window boxes on the sides of bird house?
Once all the glue dried I put a couple of coats of Mod Podge over all of the paper. I still need to add a cute ribbon to hang the bird house with. I forgot in my rush to get photos for my blog post.
I'm happy with how it turned out. Next I'll work on making something with the mini Mary E. cross stitch kit.
Thanks for stopping by. I'm linking up with Sue at It's A Very Cherry World. Stop over and visit to see all the red that everyone has shared for "Rednesday" at Sue's blog.
