What's the point of a craft blog if your camera's broke? I finished one of Hillary's Stitchette's for M.E., but I can't take a pic. I felted a little something for M.E. too, but I can't show you that either. I had my mother-in-law's camera the other day, before I'd finished my projects and when M.E. wasn't here (so I couldn't get a picture of her in her birthday apron) and was feeling very frustrated until the mail came. Look what the mailman brought me:
This is a tote I bought from the etsy shop Momonmo. The pattern on it is called The Moon Tree. If I took better photos, you could see that not only is it made with lovely fabric, but the craftmanship is also amazing. Emi Shimosato (Momonmo's proprietress) is not only a good designer, but very skilled as well. I've been wanting to buy a purse from etsy for the longest time, but couldn't really afford it. Lucky for me, her totes are in my price range. I had planned to use it as the purse I carry out with me, but after receiving it, I've decided to use it as my WIP bag. I leave that bag all over the house and this one looks good in my home!
See, here it is on my couch
Lovely on my mantle
Prettying up my dining room table
It even looks good hanging out with Allie! 
I'm being silly, but I really do love the colors of this bag. I carried my embroidery in it to homeschool co-op last week, where it got many compliments. When I'm not using it, I hang it on the front door or the bottom of the stair rail -right where I can see it. It's a pretty reminder not to let another project lay forgotten.
That is one hot bag! I got a nice custom cash pouch (for art sales) from another seller. Etsy really opens up the possibilities for reasonably priced creative work.

What a GORGEOUS bag! And what a wonderful way to use it -- to contain your projects and keep them prettily out in the open so that you remember to work on them and take them with you. I love it!
Oh, and I never told you that it's fine with me if you want to link to my Xanga over here. :-)

I second that. You stay in the co-op and you can have my camera every other day even :)
and yes, I was one of those ogling your bag:0

That is a very cute bag, indeed. I'm a big fan of Etsy, too. I'll have to check out Momonmo's shop. It looks great in your house! Perfect colors!
