Simply Primitives Club

The mailman brought a great surprise to my doorstep Thursday!  I finally received my first shipment from The Needle Hive's Simply Primitive Club!  I've been patiently waiting since spring to see what surprises Irene, owner of  The Needle Hive and Carolyn from Liberty Hill had put together for us.  Trust me it was worth the wait!  Check this out!!!

 It's a hand painted writing box!

 Here's the inside!  Don't you just love the bee hive and that saying?!

This is the stitching kit that came with it!  Everything I needed to stitch and finish both charts, pictures of the finished pieces and a bonus chart to boot!

Of course I had to start on this right away!  I love the saying on the ORTs container.  I stitched my initials and date over one on the back of the fob.  Love that bee skep!  Swoon!

Here the back of the fob and the ORTs container laying flat.  I love the fob with my heart scissors!

Design:  Bee Skep Fob and Portable Orts  Container
Designer:  Irene from The Needle Hive
Fabric: 32 ct. Chestnut as kitted
Floss:  DMC as kitted
Started: (fob and orts container) 8/9/12
Finished: (fob) 8/9/12 & (orts container) 8/10/12
Completed: (orts container) 8/10/12 & (fob) 8/11/12
 

Here it is all put together!  The instructions said to pin the sides of the ORTs container to make them stand up.  Isn't that just clever?  I just love this project and everything about it.  I can't wait to see what else Irene and Carolyn cook up for us in the coming year!

I hope everyone is having a great weekend so far.  Thanks for stopping by to visit with me today!


Until next time,

The Inspired Stitcher
