PTI Blog Hop






This is my first ever PTI Blog hop so please be gentle.

I made this a homage to Dawn McVey. I loved her idea for storing the fab PTI dies. I was getting annoyed that they were just shoved into a box with nothing to show which was which. So when I saw Dawn's blog I decided I would use her idea. Thanks Dawn.

So I rushed out and bought a very cheap and small sewing machine and got stuck in. I am not proud of my sewing attempts but they do the job. I am totally blaming the machine lol.

I decided to use my PTI egg box. I ordered 2 by accident over the summer and I am now glad I did. They fit my dies perfectly. I have all my dies in their own little pocket and still have lots and lots of room left for my die stash to grow he he

Hope you like
