Stuck in a Rut!

Lately I've been having crafter's block. Similar to writer's block, this is a serious condition characterized by a lack of motivation, inspiration, and activity. I don't think my insurance covers this type of thing, so I'm just going to have to push through it. As a first step in battling my block, I made another travel case for cross stitching projects.
 

 
This one is going to go up on Etsy. I don't really think anyone will be interested in it, because it "looks handmade" but I think it's a solid design. It has a pocket, as the first one did, and I also included a small pincushion, which I think is ideal for when you're getting a new piece of floss for your needle. I also used ric rac for the edges, because as you may or may not remember, I hate bias tape.
 

It's the same size as the previous one I made; for 6 inch hoops and under.


And what's that peeking out from under the fabric? Why, it's the cross stitch I'm working on, of course.

 
 
Have I mentioned how this one seems to be taking longer than usual? It doesn't seem like I've gotten much more done in the last week. Maybe I can blame the aforementioned crafter's block, eh?
