Last night I added a magnetic clip to the inside of my needlebook, but of course I had to put it on the outside of the lining as I had been silly enough to finish off the construction already. I decided to cover the little magnets with a pretty lace motif which I had in the stash. The pink was just the right shade so I felt quite pleased with the result.
The wool I used to line the needlebook was so pretty and I had a small amount left so I decided I "needed" another pin cushion. Goodness knows how many I need but I do love making them so that was my goal for the evening as we watched an old episode of A Touch of Frost. I had another of the little lace motifs and added a few french knots and embroidered flowers: blanket stitch and some polyester filling and you can see the result is quite sweet. Now I wonder, do I need another scissor fob? Not that I ever use them: they hang from door knobs in my sewing room and occasionally one goes to a friend for a gift.

Dian, I can't believe how pretty that wool lining fabric is, and how well it goes with your 'created fabric'. It just shows we do use things from our stash eventually.
I love the sweet little pincushion, and yes, go one, perhaps you need another scissor fob.....
