Well La-D-Da!

A few weeks back, I attended a workshop at the Elegant Stitch with Lori Markovic of La D Da as the presenter.  She is so CREATIVE as a designer!  The first evening we worked on a project for which we had each been told to bring a candlestick.  Since none of us knew what we were going to do with them, there was quite a variety  of candlesticks among the group.  Lori helped us to attach the small black velvet cushion on the top of our candlesticks along with a matching bow.  We were then gifted with beautiful black beaded pins which we immediated stuck into our new pincushion.  Just as we thought it couldn't get any better, we were given these darling red boxes in which we found mini black scissors that had the most gorgeous scissor fobs attached.  Of course we instantly hung our new scissors on our new pincushions!  Now I'm dying to fix up a stitching area where I can display it all!

We were given homework the first night to begin the stitching part of the project.  While I finished the stitching before coming home, I did not get a chance to put it all together yet.  It's going to be turned into a stitching roll to hold needles and threads.  Putting it all together will my goal in the next few weeks. 

If you ever get a chance to attend a workshop at Elegant Stitch, Lois is a wonderful hostess!
