Simple Lantus insulin pen case

My cat, Tater (AKA The Sweet Potato) is diabetic, and has to have shots of Lantus insulin 2x a day. Since he has to have his shots, he often travels with me when I go on overnight trips. I usually just throw his insulin pen in my purse, which always ends badly when it gets lost, or 3 weeks later I find one of the (not so cheap) pen needles floating around in the bottom of my purse all nasty dirty.

I took this fun Charlie brown baseball fabric, and made a little pouch big enough to hold 2 pens and a few needles.

So that I wouldn't loose it between trips, I put a magnet in the back, so it can live right on the front of my (very messy) fridge!

I'm going to add a velcro closure to keep it from coming open in my purse, but I'm still snowed in, and don't have any on hand right now.

Craft room oranizer

I've been snowed in all weekend, so I've been trying to find projects to keep me busy that use materials I already have in the house. I got the idea from The Fabric Floozie, but I mostly just free handed it instead of following directions (I've always been more of a jump right in person )   I used fabric left over from some curtains I made in college, and some white fabric from my mom's stash. I used a decorative stitch around the pockets, because I'd been wanting to try that feature of my sewing machine.

I haven't sewn the separators into the top 3 pockets yet because I'm trying to decide on what will be stored where, so I can make the pockets the correct sizes, but knowning me it will be weeks before I decide on that.

I don't have a dowel to make a hanger for it, so I'll have to hang it after the snow melts.
