My lovely roommate is a book-aholic. She is in the middle of at least three books at any given time, but at times that number has skyrocketed to the 6-8 range. It was only appropriate that her mother give her an e-reader for her birthday.

Now I’m sure I won’t be converting to an e-reader anytime soon… I love going to the library, and I love the feel of real books. But hers, the Kobo, is quite lovely.

To keep it lovely, though, it needed an equally lovely case. As her mother told me, “she’s like me. and i drop things”. My roommate approached me with this request, and chose one of my favorite fabrics: these darling elephants. I’ve never used it because the print is such an awkward size; if I used it for something small, not enough elephants would show up, but i didn’t want to make something huge with it. This was a perfect project for the little guys, so I was happy.

And Kobo is happy, and Hannah is happy. So everything is good around here.

(p.s. don’t forget about the moleskine giveaway! and tell your friends!)

My creative space this Thursday… boy(ish) ipod cases! Something to cross off the list. It’ll be interesting when I revisit that list in (uh oh!) 4 days…

Sewing is much, much greater than studying for finals.

I’ve got my last exam, Circuits, on Tuesday, and I feel like I’ve got a good hold of the subject. If I completely destroy this test, I’ll get an A in the class… so I am studying. But sewing is keeping me sane. And it’s a warm, windy, gray day, in need of colors, not math.

I only blog when I’m procrastinating, so it must sound like I never do any work. Well, I do tons of work. Sewing just makes sure I smile sometimes.

I move out on Friday. I’m going to miss my room with my pretty blue walls and my big white ampersand, I’m going to miss my boyfriend like crazy and all my friends, I know eventually I’ll even miss being so insanely busy. But I sure won’t miss the awful light in this room or the entirely unmanageable amount of sewing space. Pros and cons to everywhere, I suppose.

I’ve been working so hard on Fluffyland lately and, like many things, I expect my hard work to pay off instantly and when it doesn’t I’m rather disappointed. But I’ve got to keep trucking along and keep track of my progress to myself, because at some point my efforts will make a difference.

Today’s item of work was redoing the shop front page (doesn’t it look nice?) and listing the new iPod pouches I’ve finished up recently. The product listing process, with photoshoot, photo edit, upload, and description takes a great deal longer than I’d like, but once I get used to it and quit dreading it I should be able to get a hang of this “regular updates” thing, at least for the summer.

It’s been quite awhile since I’ve added anything new to the shop… for some reason, I kept having difficulties with image uploads, so it might be awhile before I add anything else. But two way cute ipod pouches have been added! enjoy!

This is my mug that came out of the kiln on Thursday in my ceramics class. I’m so pleased with how it turned out – the inside is sunny and bright, and the outside is so cute and fun.

For my fifth thing made out of clay (and the other four were just little practice pots), I’m way proud of it. It’s fully functional and it’s so exciting to be able to use something so pretty! Sorry for the not-so-great picture… I took it last minute as I was leaving my dorm yesterday afternoon. It looks even cuter in real life!

I got home for spring break last night, and it’s so nice to be home. I’m feeling quite ambitious; I get a whole week to myself, and I’m planning some great craft projects as well as trips to my favorite adventure sites: the thrift store and the library. Oh yes, I live life on the edge.

It’s nice to be around my family, and it’s nice to have time just to myself. Not to mention a break from all that engineering work.. hehe.
