I've fallen off the Side of the Earth

My goofy little brother wrote that in a letter to me once to explain why he hadn't written me in a while. He's currently serving a 2-year mission for our Church in Brazil (he get's home in 2 weeks--HOORAY!!!!!!!) and his English has suffered as he's become more and more fluent in Portuguese. I think he meant to say "I've fallen off the face of the earth" but this one's much funnier!

I haven't been knitting much lately--life has been busy busy busy. But I do have a Finished Object to show:

I'm not so happy with the lining, though. I just wasn't really sure how to construct the lining on such a skew-wompy shape. I've got fabric left, and I'd like to add a lining to the flap. We'll see.
