Embroidered Storage Box

Yesterdays craft was making this embellished photo storage box. I bought the white box and then covered the lid with some fabric I embroidered. The white, purple, and black motif matches the sewing room of my dreams (which I started in Michigan, but had to leave behind and now I can't pain the walls). Originally the design was to put grommets in the sides of the box for a ribbon holder where you can just pull the ribbon to dispense it. But I decided that I wanted a neater, cleaner look and skipped them. I also added some lengths of dowel to keep the ribbon tidy in the box. I'm thinking about making another one to replace my old photo storage box as well. There are more pictures of this on my flickr page (just click on the picture) including a closeup of the embroidery design.
