My very clever friend

I know some people have knitpicks sets, which are nice and tidy. Not me.

Me - I have this.



I rang my friend Donna and got her out of bed on Tuesday morning on my way to work.

"I want you to think about something. I want you to think about how you'd go about making a reinforced kind of rollup with little loops on it for circular storage. The kind that you can hang on a coathanger. I've seen them on the internet over the years, and have always wanted one. I haven't seen one for a long time, come to think of it. I think it'd be a goer on your esty store."

"hmm? yeah? I'm going back to bed now"

So that was Tuesday morning. Tuesday night she said to me she'd been 'thinking' about what I'd said.

Today is Thursday. Donna visited today, and look what she brought with her - a prototype for a circular needle roll.




I just LOVE it. It has sheep on it! Finished with the precision and detail of a trained dressmaker, this needle storage solution is one of the finest I've seen. And, lucky me, I get to keep it!

While she was here I took some pictures of the other things she has in her store ...







I beleive you can learn sewing, theoretically, like me - but have no propensity for it whatsoever. I look at these bags and the workmanship is amazing. Lucky me, to have such a talented friend!
