I’ve got a new toy!! The wonderful Ben Archer from www.ararcherltd.co.uk (or AR Archer Lace Bobbins on Facebook) has made me the most bee-autiful laying tool all covered in bees and daisies, and topped with a beehive fit for a queen…🐝🐝🐝 . The end is sharp enough to decorate a pin cushion but blunt enough not to catch on threads and the fantastic decoration makes the handle nicely grippy (official technical term) so it doesn’t slip while you’re manipulating it. I gave it a test run this weekend and it passed with flying colours 🤩 And as you can see, it’s a perfect match to my Beehive Pin Drum (apologies for the dark pics - it’s been a very dull few days!) 🐝🐝🐝 . This is a prototype and isn’t in his catalogue yet, so if you’re interested, drop him a line through Facebook or email [email protected] 💐🐝 . #bluecoppice #honeyapplemeadow #beehive #pindrum #needleroll #embroiderytools #layingtool #needleworkaccessories #stitchingsmalls (at Rugby, Warwickshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWT3_KzNYIT/?utm_medium=tumblr
