Yesterday I clicked over to Indie Tutes and found that I won a drawing for her first pattern-zine. Yay me! Take a wander around her blog and store. She is a great seamstress and shares freely with her tutorials on all aspects of sewing for little ones. I found her site on Craftster, which is a fun forum website where people share all manner of things they have created.
Last week I did not get the sewing finished that I had intended. I still didn’t get to bed until after midnight each day, so I must have been doing something! I was probably busy itching after I got bitten by chiggers last Monday evening in our yard. I’m still itchy…nasty little buggers. They got Anya, too, but not as bad, thank goodness.
I did make two lens cozies to put in a purse-modified-camera bag. I was going to use that purse as a template to make one, and then just thought, “Why bother, I have so much more to do right now!” So…I gave myself a break. It did need some cushion for my lenses, so I made these little lovelies. Some fabric scraps and extra pieces of 1″ cushion that I knew would be useful someday. It took me about 10 minutes, though, so I didn’t go overboard on the crafting this week.
Thanks to everyone on the compliments on my new blog layout. Is that craftiness? I guess it might be a bit. I am using a purchased theme (link in the blog footer at the bottom), which allows me to do some fun customizations. I bought it mainly for my new photography blog, but decided to put it up here, too.
Speaking of my photography…here’s my new blogsite, complete with pictures from the Blessing ceremony on Saturday.
Let me know what you think of it. That is where I will be posting my photography sessions and an occassional favorite photo, so it won’t be incredibly active since I don’t do many photography shoots. I have no comments over there, so it needs a little blog-love. 🙂
What a cool winnings! I love it!
What a good idea! I always just want to throw in a lens into my purse but am so afraid of it getting messed up! Again…I need to learn how to sew! So many reasons for it!
Gee, you’re going make me add another feed to my google reader aren’t you. 😉
I like your lens cover idea. Very cute.
And congrats on winning a pattern! I have hopes that with my Mom here for the winter I may get a few sewing lessons. She made the cutest baby blanket with a bunny head in one corner for my host sister. I want to make one for another friend of mine who is due in February. I’m just not nearly as handy with a sewing machine as she is. 😉
“I haven’t been doing much” she says – and then she unveils an entire new site. Sheesh!
I love the lens cozies and they are such a great idea! Yes, the blog deisgn does count as craftiness, and the new site is awesome but I’ll scootch over there now to say more about it. 🙂
oh…the blog design better count as craftiness…it is work believe me! (otherwise I’d be out of work!) i’m scooting over to the other site now…but I love the lens cozies…I def. need to make some of those – I’m always throwing my lenses into my purse/bag!
Amazing new photography site! You put so much work into it and already have a zillion posts. Congrats on furthering your photography business. Love the lens cozies as well!
Wow Stacy, I DIG the new DIGS and I adore those len cozies. I have NEVER seen that before. They are so classy cool (again I might add).
I have to ask, do you make camera straps?
Am LOVING the new layout and tidbits, and can’t wait to go click through your new photo site! When do you find the TIME, woman?
I went ot your photography blog! It is awesome.
I would SO love to be able to make something like this. Too cute!
Any tips on how to make the lens cozies? I just got some new lenses and would love to make some!
Well I popped over and loved on you. Very well done…there and here. I always love visiting you for beauty and inspiration.
