this one is so handy as i can remove the tool holder and take it with me from room to room as i work on a project -- it was originally a cigar box that i stripped, stained and since i am a singer featherweight girl i decided to use the singer decals -- my real workhorse for sewing however i have to give credit to my three 1970s elna air electronic machines -- of course just as with the singer featherweights they have their names also -- workhorse helped me sew the leather on this etui

Great job on the transformation of the cigar box. I thought maybe you had a couple of Cuban Havanas hidden in the top compartment so that when you get frustrated with a sewing job you could take a break and light up...There's ya an Idea...Dont listen to me, going on 2 days straight with no sleep. This insomnia will drive a person insane. For me its a very short drive...Great Job as always. :)
hi jay
no you know me better than that -- i am an american born and breed girl -- sweetzer sweets for me thank you -- actually i do have a cigar trinket box that i use to hold my 4 to 5 inch needles used in beading and upholstery work -- it is pretty but yet functional and i love the little match that came with the trinket box
hi jason -- i love boxes also -- will use anything from old silverware boxes to cigar boxes etc -- will rip - sand - stain and reline usually with leather -- hope all is well with you and the family -- you inspired me to lay down my needles and go to the shop and work on a walnut box that i found the other day at the goodwill outlet -- have a great week -- ted and i did some traveling and i have totally neglected my cw family
beautiful and hello epson missed ya very much:)
thanks sean -- miss you guys also -- just been busy finishing up some loose ends -- may give you a call in a bit
thanks jason -- have another walnut case to work -- just posted a book -- by richard halliburton's complete book of marvel -- if you can find a copy -- or at your library -- but warning -- you will be out of touch for three weeks -- and then you will want to share with all the family and grand children
