Small Project for Mom

As a kid, I always took for granted the hundreds of times my Mom would patch up the many stuffed animals and clothes I would ruin from careless play. I'd go to her and say, "Mommy, can you fix this?," or "Mommy, can you help me?" She'd be overwhelmed with work or errands, but would always stop to mend my beloved belongings.

Now that I am older and more interested in sewing and other crafts, it is a comfort to be able to provide a similar service for my Mom. A couple weekends ago while I was visiting home for the weekend, my Mother told me about how inconvenient her cell phone case was. She looked to me and said, "Well, since you crochet all the time, do you think it would be much trouble if you made me a new case?"

I wasn't necessarily a joy to raise, but over the past few years, I've become more appreciative of my Mom. Making the case for her was absolutely no problem at all. I know it sounds cliche and cheesy, but I thought back to the times she would fix my belongings simply out of love.

This project is small, but I was happy to be able to make it for someone so dear to me.

Rebooting the Blog a little bit

Goal: I want to post in this blog more often.
Solution: I must make stuff to actually post about.

Enter- Reboot (heir to the beloved music player named Robit).

The charger for this amplifying system has been misplaced many a time simply because a whole team of people have shared responsibility and ownership over it for years. It's tough to travel to tournaments and pack for a weekend of competitive play without easily forgetting the plug required to charge this party starter. I also would like to mention that one time at Spring Break where the charger had to be express mailed halfway across the country so that we could loudly enjoy our tunes. Thus, I have made a simple solution that makes it really a no brainer to keep the charger with Reboot at all times.

Materials used:
- Piece of backpack strap I salvaged
- Velcro!

Features:
- Strap that A) you won't lose because it's attached to the cord, B) velcro fastens to itself, C) conveniently secures Reboot's charger into a bundle
- Velcro attachment to Reboot
By the way,sorry for the poor quality of my pictures. Even though my cell phone camera's megapixels have officially surpassed those of my digital camera, I am too lazy to use my phone's camera to take pictures... I'll try to work earlier in the day for better lighting next time :)
