eReader Case

I have a Nook coming in the mail! I scored an awesome deal on it! I am excited and we all know that with a new 'toy' means you have to get all of the accessories. Upon perusing the merchandise available online, I decided I didn't like any of the cases, so I had to make one!

I was going to wing it and figure out something, but without the Nook actually being in my possession, it would have been hard to do. I couldn't find many free patterns online, but I did come across this pattern from Birdful Stitches on Etsy.

I was nervous to try it (it was my first solo pattern sewing project), and after only 2 mistakes (nothing severe or too major), I was pleased with the end results.

It even has an extra pocket that will come in handy!

Someone got jealous of the attention that case was getting. Mental note on first Nook Book purchase: "How to Train the Untrainable"

Now let's hope the Nook actually fits in it! :o)

I will be linking to these parties this week. Have a wonderful week!

Introducing Choco!

In case you didn't see our Christmas pic this year, we have adopted another little chihuahua! Now Tulah is a big sis (even though she is still smaller at 5 lbs). Introducing Choco (pronounced with long o sounds)!

Choco hails from New York City, where her parents were working long hours and were afraid they couldn't spend enough time with her. My future sis-in-law told them she had just the right people to take in their sweet little girl. We are so glad she thought of us, because after having Choco since Thanksgiving, we can't even imagine life without her!
