On the weekend, I wandered over to Fabricland and was happily surprised by the items they seem to be carrying now! Beads. Lots and lots of glorious wonderful beads. Embroidery floss. Fons and Porter notions! Normally I never find much of anything to spend money on at Fabricland but this weekend? Oh, my — it was amazing!

The best part was that it was a sale day — 50 per cent off everything. I was thrilled. Picked up lots of beads and some embroidery floss.

I made another one of these needle cases from Kokoro no Te by Kumiko Sudo. This time all in blues. I decided the little blueberries, or whatever one wants to call them, needed some glitter. This is the front with all the glittery blueberries.

The back.

The inside. There are 3 pages for needles and pins as well as the inside of the covers.

I never really thought of myself as attracted to glittery things but I’m having so much fun with these beads!! Now I’m looking for things that might just need a bead or three to give them some sparkle.

Lester, it seems, is not as captivated by beads. Good thing — can you imagine what a great big kitty paw like that could do with little loose beads?? And before anyone asks — I have the beads in a small bowl while I’m working with them, which bowl is out of kitty reach!
