I don't often indulge and actually make things for myself but last week I thought I would make myself a treat - a new needle book! I've been using the same one since I started bogging back in Feb 2007! And this new one is a vast improvement!!!!

You can see I've been using my new flowery buttons! The inside is all neat and tidy and has so much room for my needles and pins! I just need to pop some pins in so I'm never without them! :)

If you like my new flower garden needle book, I have made a few for the shop already and plan to make a few more colours in a week or so. I'm going to have a little break from machine sewing to a. finish knitting baby William's blanket, b. my sewing machine desperately needs de-fluffing and a little TLC and c. to get some of my hand sewing pile out of the way. I've got a pile of sardines that have been cut out since before Hattie was born - I think they were going to be part of last years new Christmas collection(?!).
