Altoid Tin...

~ Good Day Friends ~ I know, I know three posts in such a short amount of time?! What is wrong with her??
:)
I've been having a spate of creativity of late and when I get into experimentation mode like this...I just go with it!
When I stitch... I have a little Altoid Tin that a very sweet lady stitched for me, a loooong time ago when I was strongly involved in exchange groups. I loved it! I kept my needles and scissors in there (and other bits and bobs). The top was very puffy and I used it as a pin cushion to place my needle as I ended off, prior to re-threading it.
Well... that sweet little tin (after years of hard use) got pretty nasty from being thrown in and out of bags and then horror of horrors, I sat on it. That pretty much did her in.
:'(
I missed that tin. I longed for it. Would reach for it and it wouldn't be there....
What to do?? Make me another!
~ So I did ~

"Two Red Houses" (although this is only the "One Red House ~ Vonna Version")
Designed by: Little House Needleworks ~ Diane Williams Copyright: a very long time ago and I don't have the pattern right next to me Stitched: 1 over 1 on 28 count tea/coffee dyed lugana using DMC

When you open the tin up.... I stayed into the "home" mode. I'll let you see for yourself:

~ A sweet little pillow and coverlet ~ for my scissors to be warm and comfy... with the pillow doubling as a pin cushion!

~ The starry sky is framed with the sweetest set of curtains ~ that of course doubles as a needle nest! size 24 on the valance size 26 on the left curtain and size 28 on the right curtain

~ I pretty much am in love ~

~ What about you? ~
Until next time... I'm about bone dry on my creativity now! Plus, I have a lot of models to stitch and finish for a couple of sweet designers. You all will be anxious to see, someday.
I'll be back with my fair results... in a couple of weeks. Wish me luck ~ open class turn in day is this Wednesday (July 23, 2014), I'm a whole lot nervous, but anxious at the same time!
Hugs in stitches, Vonna xxxx
