Needle Case progress & a gift

When you're locked away in your sewing room for enough days, you can make progress. I think the fun is picking out the buttons and deciding on how to embellish the front. I'm not to that stage yet, but I have some ideas. (we won't talk about the progress in the basement!)

My son just arrived home with a purchase from work. A single Mom is trying to pay ahead on her heating bill so she made up some really nice smelling soaps to sell. I think they are wonderful so I'm sending him back tomorrow to buy more for the daughter in laws stocking gifts.
