It may be a bit 2012, but I felt like using up some of my selvedges, not that I have masses, but enough for a good rummage.
So another little needle book…
I used some lovely felt from Eternal Maker, and a little of Aneela's Hello Petal dots for the lining…
It is roughly 4" square and I am thinking will become home to all my new needles and pins for FQR.
Oh I never told you the full saga of the needles did I!?
I ordered a pack of Chenille size 24 from John Lewis. Picked them up in store and was so flabbergasted by the football sized box they came in, I didn't notice until I got home that they were a size 22. I rang Customer Services, they said I could keep them and they would send me another pack. Pack 2 arrived, um, size 22. I rang again, replacement offered. 2 days later, another pack of size 22!
So the warehouse was asked to actually check they had some 24s. They didn't. So I am getting a £15 voucher for my trouble, as well as a refund.
The replacements are already on their way from eBay.
The moral of this story… I am not entirely sure!
Hope you get the ones you want! At least JL didnt make you go to the bother of returning them!
ReplyDeleteAre you watching tonight's game... I do not know if I want to keep watching. I am tired and if we win , the noise outside will wake me up anyway. It is almost midnight, and if they keep up this game it may be penalties as 01:00 AM. We have to be at school tomorrow at 8:30...
ReplyDeleteOh my word... That was almost a goal for Argentina.
I better turn off the tv and go to bed... :-)

better than Tesco customer service. I bought hot dogs for our 4th July tea and they were 10 days out of date. Quote "well, you'll have to go and get some more from the shelf then " Moi? And indeed I did, and the rest of them were out of date too.
ReplyDeleteThey can be fined £1000 for each pack that's out of date by the health inspector!! Wow, that's awful!
DeleteHope you have lots of size 22 projects planned. What is a chenille needle size 24 anyway? Oh ignorant me!
ReplyDeleteA good result, eventually, and I'm not talking footie.
ReplyDeleteWHAT!?!? Hilarious. You could open a stall at the market selling size 22 needles.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get the 24s from....just in case I need them? And we all know where to get those 22 from!
ReplyDeleteSo will you be flogging size 22 needles at FQR then???
ReplyDeletemoral of story is , 24 does not make 22 but gets you some vouchers.. the needle pad is lovely. x
ReplyDeleteI'm still trying to imagine how humungous size 24 needles are!
ReplyDeleteThat story gave me a chuckle.
ReplyDeleteFree is always good! I am sure you will enjoy spending the voucher too. x
ReplyDeletevery cute, look forward to seeing it in the flesh!
