I had gotten a sling-style case for my new kalimba. It had a kalimba brand name on it. I used my thread ripper to tear out the name and added a little tatting to it. The pattern was by Norma Benporath, "Edging for Embroideries."

When I bought a kalimba, it came with an extra set of keys. I had just enough black walnut wood to make one. The wood came off of my grandfather's farm. My "Church Mom," gave me the opals from the Spencer Idaho mine. She had mined them and cabbed them, when she was a little girl. The kalimba sound wonderful.
