    How beautiful! Besides the usefulness of the item, it is a real treasure and it must make you happy every time you look at it and use it.

    What a great way to keep all your things in one place! You give me some inspiration to work on a pin cushion I promised a friend!

    I'm so curious, is the inner frame made of fabric or cloth-covered wood or cardboard? It's so gorgeous!

      Everything was made from some sort of fibre. I used heavy interfacing for construction. Fabric was fused to both sides. The hardest part was the design. The rest was experimentation until I got what I wanted.

    "Magpie" mumbled that we should hop over here and see your lovely creation! My goodness! It is amazing! I think if I were a little mouse I'd love to move right in and join your notions! So cozy and beautiful!
