As I feverishly tore into the carefully wrapped package from New Zealand, 
From Carole
...made with love.
Filled with necessary items like brand new needles-
(mine are old and dull, and I don't even notice)-
and color coordinated scissors.
This needlecase has a bit of vintage bling.
Doesn't yours?
And a special inscription.
Carole also thoughtfully enclosed some inspiring poetry,
knowing my religious bent. :)
It just might get me through some troublesome tangles!
And it all started with a bit of stitchery gifted to me by Linda.
Who is quite the stitcher!
I gathered buttons, fabric, tulle, trims and sent the whole mess to New Zealand
with a request for a custom made needlecase.
In purple, red, black.
Yeah, really mainstream, soothing colors!
Carole outdid herself.
I think you could sell these in your etsy shop, Carole.
Really.
For a lot of money!
I sooo love that you went outside your comfort zone on this one.
Black tulle on a needlecase?
LOVE IT!
