That's really cool! I like the simplicity of the map design and putting it on black cloth was def a good call!

I loooove the gloves, it's such a nice touch!

I really love the color combo's you used! 

So cute, and free-handed nonetheless! 

Thanks guys! You're the best! 

Oh those are so sweet, I love the heart drawstring!  ...and thanks, yes the last pic is now forever burning in my mind. haha!

Oh my lordy am I jealous of your swap partner/sister-in-law! Both the rainbowl and coasters are sweet!

I am forever losing my needles and I have a terrible fear that one day I will step on one! Ouchy!  So...I decided I would make a little felt wallet-type book to hold all my embroidery and cross stitch needles.  I used the caterpillar cross stitch pattern from, Miss Woolly's mini cross-stitch kit (by Eliza Edwards), for the image on the front.

It has a button closure and little berry applique made of felt. 



I sewed a little piece of aida cloth to the inside cover to keep the cross stitch needles in:



I also added a small green pocket on the back cover to keep a needle package in....maybe I will put a seam ripper in there too!



I used the cheapo kind of felt that is like 5 pieces for a dollar.  I want to buy some of that yummy wool felt when I get more money....someday! 

Thanks for looking peeps!

haha! I have to show this to my husband.  He will think this is so funny!

Oh wow! Those are sooooo neat.
