Today I finished a quick little project that I started last night.
It's a simple, adorable case for my cross stitching that I can slip into my purse. Usually I would just shove everything into a plastic bag, but I was never comfortable doing that. Always afraid that something would get lost or damaged. Now my stitching is protected!
There is a pocket on the flap that closes with snaps! (Rhyme time) I keep my relevant floss bobbins inside, and it can also fit a small pair of scissors.

| "Beautiful" hand-sewn snaps. |

Fact: I hate working with bias tape! But this project was so simple and easy, I didn't mind using it this time around. I think the red and orange helps bring out all the colors of the fabric, which I think is the cutest doggone print ever.
Overall I'm pleased with the outcome of this traveling case. The only planning it really needed was measuring my favorite hoop so I could make an appropriate size. I may put one up on Etsy. Is it good enough?
...Speaking of cross stitch, here's the progress I've made:

P.S.!
I love the new Tomahawk album! It's the first CD I've bought since the last Devo one, which was almost 3 years ago. It definitely sounds a little bit different than the previous Tomahawk records, but that's something I love about them. There's something for everyone. Then again, I am biased on this subject.
