Smalls

To test the oldest skein from my recent thread haul I embroidered a little muslin bag with a very vintage sage-colored Coats thread. No problems, as the thread is still strong.

I've also been tidying up around the house and found this little tin I altered some years ago. I couldn't remember what I'd saved in it.

Buttons and beads, of course. I was briefly tempted to add the buttons to my linen quilt, but I'd rather stick to just needle and thread for that project.

Another tin I found. I'm like a squirrel with smalls these days.
