Victorian beaded needle case

I finally got pictures taken of the beaded needle case that I was working on and completed last year.  I was using it for a project I was working on, and wanted to get all of the loose needles and thread out of it before I took my pictures.  I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed working on this project!  I'm ready to start on my next project now!

Paying it forward

I have started out the New Year with a "paying it forward" swap.  I'm making 5 handmade gifts, and in turn, 5 of my friends have signed on to swap gifts.  I think it's a great idea for promoting your business, and at the same time promoting your friends' business too!  I'll post pictures as I complete them.  The first one I'm working on is from Japanese fabric in shades of orange, purple and red.  It's going to be colorful, if nothing else!  Now, I need to decide what the other four are going to be!
