Needle and Scissors

Try 4 July word- needle. Pulled out my old sewing kit (I've had it since fourth or fifth grade!) for this shot. I still remember when my mom gave me this. The scissors have long since dulled, and I have a better pair now, but I still use the box for some of my other sewing tools and a couple keepsakes.
This is really beautiful! and what a special item to have kept.

@taffy Thank you Taffy! It hit me as I uploaded the picture that I have had this little sewing kit longer than my children have been alive! Wow!

Thank you so much everyone- glad you enjoyed the little skip down memory lane. Yes and yes Vikki- a big needle and small scissors.
And I am singing Maggie!

What a great thing to still have! I wish I could sew! So was it for kids...with the big needle and tiny scissors? Very cool, Ann!

@espyetta Thanks Marybeth! The scissors came with the sewing kit and so did some needles, but not that one. That was a later addition I bought for some project or another and still have lying around. I am an ok sewer- can do enough to put patches on worn out boy's jeans and a simple hem on a curtain. But that's really it. My mother was much better- she even did her own smocking on our dresses when we were little.

Nice shot, Ann. Love the texture of the fabric and the color of the scissors. It has an old look to it. Well captured.
