I was at my local Michael's store the other day and came across this beautiful find. An Amy Butler Lotus Tea Box Scrapbooking Tool Caddy. I do not own anything Amy Butler nor do I have any of their gorgeous fabrics. I immediately fell in love with this and the clearance price of $9.99. The caddy is well made and well padded. It has a large interior opening of 6-1/2" x 12" x 6-1/2". There are 8 external pockets. Three on each long side and one large on each narrow side. It didn't take me long to realize that there is no way I could sew one of these for under $10. Even my home dec tote bags cost more to make and that's not including the labor.
So, this caddy came home with me. Don't you just love the fabric and colors?
I'm not a scrapbook person as I've drawn a limit to the number of hobbies I can master at one time. I can see many other uses for this. One use is to hold my current sewing project(s) and associated notions in one place.
Another use, to store and carry my yarns and large knitting projects. I can temporarily store my circular needles in the outside pockets along with a tape measure, small scissors, and other notions. Here, I've tossed in several skeins and cakes of yarn:
Right now, this caddy looks beautiful on my cutting table. I love a beautiful find. :)

Ooh, I'd like one of those too...
I found one of these at my Michael's a few months ago. I also loved the $9.99 price! I use mine for storing my pin cushion, scissors, tape measure, marking tools, small rulers - the list goes on and on, but it *is* a beautiful find!
Nice find! Have a great weekend!
Great bag. I could find a lot of uses for it. It does make a nice knitting bag.
Very nice. Usuable for more than just scrapbooking. Great price as well. I perhaps should visit our Michaels!!!
I want one. I love it!
So cute! I love finding a deal...that is adorable!
The fabric and colors are fabulous. What a bargain!
