I don't use Gingher's little snips, but I do love their little scissors for snipping thread! When I hide my thread ends in the double stitches for tatting nothing gives me a cleaner closer cut than my little Ginghers! I love them so much I got a pair with leopard print handles and I just ordered a custom painted tatting shuttle w/ a leopard print to match them, LOL! Stay tuned! I'll be posting once I get them! :)
I'm trying to type this around my cat Phoebe who insists on sleeping in my arms. You know you can't argue with a cat!!!
I think the books you're thinking of are Philip Pullman's Golden Compass trilogy. There was a movie made of the first book a few years ago with Nicole Kidman. I have read these three books as well, but I loved the Inkheart series more.
Your scissors case is looking beautiful. Is it stitched on plastic canvas??? Love the blue colours and the beading on it. The smaller case in the pastel colours is very pretty too.
I don't have any Gingher scissors. I have a pair of Rooster shaped scissors and your standard stork shaped scissors. The thread cutter that you prefer looks cool. How does it work I wonder???
I've always loved the Drawn Thread's Sampler Board and am so glad that you got yours back out to stitch on again. It is so pretty and would be a wonderful addition to your finishes. I have it in my stash too. Perhaps someday, when I finish Wayward Garden, I'll start that one.
I've heard of the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society from somewhere, but can't think where. Maybe in a book review?? Anyways, it looks good. I'd read the book though.
The flowers from your DH are just gorgeous!!!
You got to meet the Spinster Stitcher??? Oh lucky you!! I love reading Coni's blog. Is she as funny in person???
Hi Leila, Your scissor case is gorgeous! It's very pretty with the addition of the beads. You have some lovely beads in your collection. The Gingher snips look fabulous - thanks for the recommendation. I will be on the lookout for them.
What a pretty case. Congrats on the finish! Is that perforated paper its stitched on? I don't have those gingher's but I do love them. Your DH got you some gorgeous flowers for Valentines Day! :)
Hi Lelia, I love the scissor case & feel very lucky you said it is for me!! But you realize now you have to make one for girlfriends Kay & Tina. They are mad at me for getting the scissor case!! I am so lucky to have a friend like you!!
Sue D p.s. Thanks for chocolate Kiss too. You just know me so well!
