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. 🙂
