Whoot! I made stuff.

And not just a blog post. :)

I may have been slacking in posting, but for once, I have not been slacking in crafting. I, like, actually finished projects. And now am actually writing a post.

This latest project is an awesome example of stash busting. Yesterday, for my birthday, I received an iPad. There aren't many words to show my pleasure about that.

But with an iPad, and my need to carry it in a purse most days, comes the bed for a sleeve. So off I went to Joann to buy quilted fabric.

I can see you shaking your heads now. "That's not stash busting, you say."

And no, that step wasn't. But three hours into the project, when it wouldn't work, and then the iPad didn't FIT, I turned to the stash. I had the idea that if I could wrap stash fabric around the quilting, that it might actually work.

Yeah. This was one of those projects that was so crazy it actually worked.

In less than two hours, I sewed it together, and tried it out. I'm actually happier with this one than I am with the Plan A version. It looks somewhat sophisticated, and only cost about $9 to make!

Stash busting and frustration for the win!
