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

Hello Michelle! Thanks for the festive ornaments that you tied onto my Christmas gifts. They're super cute, and as I'm currently smack in the middle of a felt obsession, they're wonderfully appropriate.

I thought they would be even more perfect if I gave them a little sparkly dose of adornment, so I stitched a design on them with white embroidery thread and added a few beads for good measure.

I think it worked, but here's one that's done and one before my crafty make-over so you can judge for yourself:



The Purl Bee featured some cute star ornaments made with felt and beads- maybe I'll make some of these to match my snowflakes and tie them on to your gifts next year.

Hope you like them!

love,
lulu
