As mentioned elsewhere, I am having problems with my shoulder at the moment, so I had to take a timeout from both beading and most of my computer activities.
This was the last piece I made before that.
Remember the wire knit socks? They are in here, together with needles and yarn (nothing new about that) and a rolled up miniature magazine, a copy of "The Schachenmayrin" from the 30s. That brand of yarn is made in my county, only a few miles from here. They also published several editions of a three volume introduction into knitting and crocheting which is actually the source of how I learned to knit socks. Eventually I'd like to make a miniature of one of those volumes, too.
For this basket I chose the magazine because my printer is a little temperamental about color these days, and the magazine was in black and white in the 30s, and because rolled up it was easier to incorporate.

I also wanted to fit scissors in, but they would have been too much.
