A Change of Plans

The original plan was to cover my new found basket/ camera case with the swan hooked rug that is in the bottom of the first picture. Isn't it funny how pets always have to lay on your craft projects? I am not sure if funny was the right word? Anyway, today I couldn't figure out how to do it so I decided to not waste anymore time and try something else.
This is what I came up with. I just did a crazy patch for the top piece.

I lined the inside with some extra batting for my camera.

I made a coordinating checkbook cover/wallet. I was hoping to do something with rug hooking but it just didn't seem to work out. Oh well, maybe next basket.
