A new purchase


For those who don’t know this is a needle minder for cross stitch. I had never come across them before seeing them on some cross stitch groups on Facebook. They have a powerful magnet behind the image and a second magnet which goes behind the material. When sewing a small cross stitch hoop I keep the needle minder on card. I am finding it so useful. Sometimes it is the little things that please us isn’t it. I found this one on Ebay where there are so many to choose from but as you may know I love Pooh bear so had to choose this one which is from an independent craft seller and only cost £2.85.

Great idea for keeping the needle safe Marianne. I ordered a small magnetic bowl from Amazon and pop the little dies into it when I'm card making/album making, it's ideal. I do keep all my dies on magnetic sheets inside a folders but the small ones can easily get lost when you're engrossed in what you're doing! haha
