I’ve been wishing for warmer weather a lot lately. We’ve gotten a few warm days, here and there.. but, I want 73 degree weather everyday! And while the wishing hasn’t gotten me very far, my Spring doodling has taken me here.. to my new embroidery pin case.
My last attempt at something original was a bust, but I really like this one. My favorite embroidery pattern is the dog, that’s my Bassett Hound, Zoe.
If you’d like to make one too..I’ve attempted to put something together for you. It’s not a perfect pattern, but it’s from my heart. I hope you enjoy it.

Renee, that is too cute! I printed out the tutorial in hopes of finding the time to try it soon. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods.
I’ve got a spring giveaway going on if you’re interested in growing things.

I’m glad you like it. I hope the process brings you much fun and relaxation… kinda like a summer’s day

Things are just fine up here…Don’t let the lack of posting confuse you… I’ve been thinking about this whole blog thing.. when I started it I wanted to inspire the same way that others inspire me.. I’m going to try to focus more on that.. less on the number of times I post – that has become an issue. I’m still here.. just not as much.

You are so very welcome! I hope you enjoy it. & something else that I’ve found out about this little case… if you use felt as your fabric, those nasty little pieces of thread stick right to it..rather than on you or your floors.

Thank you! That’s such a huge compliment. I hope you’ll enjoy yours as much as I have mine. It’s so easy to drag along.. I just stuff in what I need and go. You’ll have to send me a picture when you’re done.. I’d love to see your take on it.

This is just way TOO cute! I dearly love needle cases/pin keeps and have made a bunch of them, but this one is by far the prettiest one of them all. You need to keep designing, girlfriend – you have great talent!
Thank you for the pattern – will be starting this one tonight!

What a really lovely design. The cute little stitcheries as well. I love all “sewing” helps – that is needlecases, pincushions etc. My dream is to find a really nice crocheted chatelaine.
Thank you.

*Thank you and thank you for leaving a comment. It was fun to make and I have to say that I still carry mine with me. I do have one complaint though.. my original pen came out of a kit and it must have been smaller than regular pens available because I can’t find a new one that doesn’t hang out the top. Measure yours first…You might want to make your pattern just a bit bigger to accommodate that.*
