sailor goodness and a brilliant object...

I visited Michelle at Rose Mille a few days ago and came home with a few choice items (and left so many goodies in the shop- it's a treasure trove). First are these three lovely vintage ribbons. I have no idea what I'll use them for but I couldn't get enough of that sweet sailor. And this "survival kit" might just be my new favorite invention. Can I call it an invention? Anyway, it's loosely woven thread, so when you're out in the world and a mend is in order you're never without the perfect color for the job. Grab the strand you need and pull----> there you have it: beauty and utility woven together perfectly.

Update about Patterns: I'm working on them today so the first in the line of many will be available soon... like Monday??? maybe Monday.
