Using Protection

Well, actually I made the protection for my new camera and now I'm using it. I'm quite proud of my accomplishment... Sewing does not come as easily to me as cooking, but I'm making progress.

This case (inspiration came from this link) probably cost me $5 to make and about 2 hours of time. Rachel, I used some of that sweatshirt material in lieu of batting. Lovely!


Tomorrow's attempt includes finishing a laptop case which ought to be infinitely trickier. At least I'll have a pattern this time!

Sh-whoops

I was setting epic records for a while there, posting almost as often as I had a new thought. Apparently I have been focusing my thoughts on other topics, such as my many end-of-the-year papers. Whew.

March Madness is the most fitting excuse I can think of. And I'm not just referring to basketball.

Here is a rundown of the last month, with pictures:

We made our first meal of spring.

Slept in boxes during a rainstorm.

Celebrated Katie's 20th birthday.

Celebrated a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP.

Celebrated JJ's presidential retirement.

Visited the Carrboro Farmer's Market, ate lots.

Held our last full SAIL meeting before commencement.

So, many celebrations occurred. Plus, today is Easter, so I will be elaborating on my life later.

Arts 'n Crafts

This weekend, I had the desperate urge to create something. And since making babies was out of the question, I opted to make the world's most fabulous jewelry display. It came to me as an epiphany, driving home from work Friday evening. Window screen and buttons, of course! I immediately set out on a journey that would involve Michael's, JoAnn's and Home Depot. And an immense amount of patience and measuring.

And this is the result:



I would tell you how I made it, but then I couldn't exploit you for a profit, now could I?
