Needlebooks Galore


My obsession du jour is needlebooks (or needlecases as some call them.) I couldn't find any ones with even a shred of artistic flair in any local stores--in fact, the only thing I could find was needles. Setting about to obtain some handcrafted needlecases was a task one wouldn't think would be so difficult. 

After making one of my own topped with a felt flower, yours truly went on a crusade to find some lovelier than I could attempt to create. And where did the treasure of the day come from? A Flickr photostream, which led me to discover Florence Hope on Etsy. Unfortunately, they aren't selling any more of their wonderfully modern needlecases or other felt art, but a girl can look all she wants--right?
