recently on her blog?
Oh my goodness.... I just had to have one.
Right then.
I headed to Hobby Lobby with coupon in
hand to pick out a box and the rest is history.
My new sewing box.....
I decided to paint mine black with a little
distressing and wax to finish it off.
BBD Birds and Berries
from A Stitcher's Journey
stitched on 40ct Wake n' Bake linen
w/ Victorian Motto
I decided to stitch in purples and lavenders
to match a fabric I had on hand.
I love the finished design.
Like Julie, I covered the mirror with a somewhat
tufted insert. I used fabric to also cover
the bottom of the box and little compartments.
Now...I have a great little sewing box.

We attended Tartan Day South, a wonderful
new Celtic festival, Saturday and I was happy to see
a lady selling Scottish and Irish cross stitch designs.
She owns a shop in Charlotte, Stitch Traders,
and I told her I was happy to see another
shop not too far away from me. She asked that
I "spread the word" that there is a shop in
Charlotte so if you are ever in the area,
you will have to visit. She had some
wonderful celtic designs.
I did pick up this needle minder.
I just love thistles and knew it would the
perfect decoration in my new sewing box!

Here are a few more pics from the day.....
Cutthroat Shamrock.... one of my favorite bands!
My hubby knows that I am in love
with the bass player....
maybe its the dreads!
Gotta love rockin' music that includes
a bagpipe...and a kilt!
Saw a lot of kilts....
Highland games are hard work even for the birds.
A hawk from the birds of prey exhibition
decided to relax awhile during the caber toss.
Nice break in the competition for everyone.
