A little needlebook finish...




I made another needlebook.  I get such a kick out of making these.  Seriously!  I used some of my sawdust scraps to add some interest to the front and back.  I used a linen scrap but the icing on the cake is the lovely 30wt Aurifil 5017.  That lovely bright green thread with a gorgeous sheen adds a finishing pop to the whole thing.  Can you see that I COVERED a button!  That was so much fun!  Yesterday when Mum and I were out thrifting, I bought all sorts of vintage covered button packages so I can cover buttons until the cows come home!

I embellished all the little pages.  Amy at Nanacomapany always does that on her needlebooks.  And I think I will pop this into the needlebook swap at our net guild meeting.  I already have another one made so maybe I will swap two!
Linking up with Amanda Jean for Finish it up Friday.
