Cover for My Nook Cover

This past Tuesday I treated myself to a birthday present in the form of a Nook, the Barnes & Noble e-reader.  My friend Anne has a Kindle2 and just loves it.   At first, I didn't 'get it' about the e-readers.  But little by little my interest grew, especially after I started reading so much about them.
Well, I must say I am beyond thrilled with my Nook and wonder why I waited so long to buy one!
Recently my friend Anne asked me to make her a cover for her Kindle2 cover which I wrote about a few weeks ago:  http://arlenesbags.blogspot.com/search/label/kindle%202%20cover 
I decided my Nook cover should also have a cover.  So I designed and made one for it on Friday.   It still needs 'tweaking' but for now it works.  And like Anne's cover for her Kindle2 cover, my new cover is pretty.   Pretty is good!

Birthday Present for Kelsey!

Our granddaughter Kelsey turned 11 on July 6.  So of course I had to make her something special for her big day.   I decided to make her a spa/shower wrap in the hopes it would be neither too grown up nor little girlish.   
The spa wraps are soooooooooo easy to make especially with all the help and tutorials that are offered on www.SewForum.com.
We'll be heading to CT. tomorrow for a belated birthday celebration for Kelsey.  I sure hope she likes her new spa wrap!
