Snappy Sunnies Case

Hot off the ironing board: one perfectly cheerful sunglasses case complete with kiss-lock frame.

Sad story: one of my sister's closest friends has a friend whose boyfriend has a significant brain tumor. He's also out of work, and his benefits are due to expire, and of course there are hefty hefty medical bills to be paid. F that S, right? I mean, geez! Oh, and he's only 27ish years old. A group of them are putting together a beef and beer to raise much needed funds. My sister is putting together a beach basket as one of the gifts to be raffled off. I'm not sure what all is going in it, but there will be a beach bag by moi (no pic - it was just a basic tote) in this fabric:

 I got this at Joann's. I have no idea what it's called.

And this little sunnies case:

 A delightful beachy print on each side and an antique bronze double-curve frame. And on the inside?

Pebbly watery yumminess. I have maybe a million and seven yards of this fabric and it just screams "Beach!!!" Not literally--wouldn't that be the creepiest thing ever? I enlarged the original pattern a wee bit, and it fits sunglasses perfectly:

Those are my delightful yellow polka dot sunglasses there. They would only be better if they were red, but yellow is second-best in my polka dot lineup. I bought them on vacation last week. What?!!?! Yeah, I had myself a much-needed shore break last week. I'm not a fan of announcing when my house will be vacant so I kept it hush-hush. It drives me bonkers when I'm on Facebook and people have their status updates notifying everyone of all that: "OMG, 2 hours until vacation! Then it's 2 weeks of fun!" I read that as "Hey! In a few hours my house will be empty for 2 weeks. Come on over and steal the flat-screen I was bragging about last week!" Now I highly doubt you folks would be tracking down my digs and stealing my Janome, but I'd be a hypocrite if I said "Back soon!" I don't even know why I'm blathering on about this... What I really should have said is "I will try to take better pictures tomorrow when it's not raining because these are not thrilling."

**UPDATE - I DID take new pictures. The old ones were pretty bad.**
