Hijacked sewing box

For my first post I'm going to share something that combines two of my favourite things, craft and tea. If like me you live in constant fear of your bobbins being pilfered, I have happened across the answer; secret sewing kit! If however you live in terror of your teabags being absconded with, the help you need lies elsewhere.  


This is a tin from the teahouse where I work. We don’t stock them very often because for one, we are all about the large leaves, and for two, tea absorbs aroma really easily, especially if its broken down into fannings, so keeping different types of teabag in the same tin means the aromas mingle and diminish, and we all deserve better than that. 


But look what a good sewing tin it makes! Now I don't spend what feels like half my life looking for my tapestry needle. It was quite cheap and unlike most smallish sewing boxes it didn't come with a sewing kit, which is superfulous to anyone who is an established crafter.

My next post will be about either poetry or books, or something else, let's not lose the mystery at this early stage in our relationship.
