dear kodak:

Hello giant camera conglomerate! Thanks for being lame and not including a case with the new camera that Mr. Lulu got for Christmas. Your oversight gave me the opportunity to flex my sewing muscles again, and I have to admit- I'm a little sore.

It didn't go too badly, and thanks to the awesome tutorials on U-Handblog we were able to figure out how to give it a flat bottom so it looks much more professional than it would have if I had just made a pathetic little pouch like I was thinking of.

I don't love it, and I think it would be way cooler in felt like these ones, but it's better than nothing for now. And Mr. Lulu thinks I'm brilliant, so that's always a plus.

Thanks again!

love,
lulu

dear lulu:

Yeah, yeah, resolutions are kind of lame, and they're usually not a great way to initiate change in one's life, but it doesn't stop me from making some every year!

So here's your list for '08 so far:

-Do some blogging. (Check!)
-Make more of an effort with your friends. You're terrible at calling. I know you want to see them, you're just lazy. Promise you'll try harder this year!
-Make more stuff. It's time to finally try your hand at resin, and letterpress, and I know you have a million sewing projects in mind, plus unfinished knitting to do... the list goes on. Get to work.
-Get out of debt. No more excuses. Think of all that money you can free up by not continuing to pay for all that useless crap you bought last year!
-Figure out what to do with your life already. School, job, life in general. I understand that you've been having a hard time figuring out where you fit, but you turn 28 this year- it's time.
-Get off your butt and get some exercise. This is definitely the old stand-by. Looks like you might have found an extra 15 pounds this winter. Maybe you should put an ad on Craigslist or something in case anyone lost theirs...

Good luck!

love,
lulu
