Today I have been getting little hand work projects together to keep nervous hands busy. Hubby goes in for surgery Wed and stay for about a week. As I was looking for a specific fabric to cut out I found this old treasure. I made myself a sewing case for hand work years ago(at least 10 yrs). So I packed it with 2 new projects and one to finish. This will take me to day 1 or maybe even day 2. I love the unusual and wacky art work and this is my first try with “messy thread” . 
I think this is a BAD impression of Jackson Pollock. It does measure 14×13 closed.
Inside left side with pockets and pin cushion. I put thread in one pocket, needles and pins in the pin cushion, scissors in another pocket, my pens and pencils in another (now I can put my phone in the bigger pocket, and a little $$$$$$ for emergencies in the one with the flap.
On the right 2 large pockets to hold paper, patterns or even a small cutting mat.
My hand projects laid out and ready to go. Looking at this now, maybe I need to make a new one a little more updated. I do think that is a must.
Do you have any of your older projects still? I can’t seem to get rid of my first attempts at things. It is nice to see the “Oh not! not what I wanted, to the “Yes! I nailed it.” Or almost anyway.
Have a wonderful day.

Yes I keep the very first quilt I made and looking back on it…well…yikes! I did redo the binding years ago so it did not look so scary 🙂
That thread work and beading work on your early piece is amazing! The thread work does look Jackson Pollock like!
