Oh, now I am really excited!
I have a couple felted wool ones and was looking at them just today wishing I could make something like that. I was hoping to needle felt some design onto one.

There are just so many patterns for needle cases over the cyber space that I can't believe I've never made one before, lol. I am looking forward to making one, or a few, lol.

There are so many cute patterns to choose from but I think I've picked out the one I want to make.

I better start on it soon or I'll waffle and pick a different pattern. I know I have "quiltheimers" and my attention wanders through so many projects.

I found a couple of patterns this morning that I want to make. I love these little needle books. They are extra, extra cute and you can do a lot to dress them up. Tomorrow I'm off to JoAnn's and I think I'll hang out at the lace and embellishment section and pick up some embroidery thread. Fun, fun, fun, fun.

I am so excited!!

I just finished my first proto-type needle case & it turned out darling!!

I have already started a second one & have my fingers crossed that it will be just as cute. So far everyone in the family wants the one that I have done!!

But I said "NO" to all of them, because I want to pick the cutest one for my partner. These can be so addicting. I am sure you will all enjoy making yours too. Fun-Fun!!
