I'm Free!

My nightmare day jam packed with exams, waiting and stressing took place yesterday and I am now finally free to enjoy my summer and my last two weeks living abroad!

How have you all been? My Google Reader is overflowing with blog posts to catch up on and I can't wait to indulge.

I can also get down to showing you all the little bits of crafting that have slipped through my studying net. I knew I had no time to work on items for pretty green so everything I made was for yours truly. Ironically this means that despite being really busy, I have actually made more things for myself this last month than in the last couple of years!

First up in my projects was a case to protect my ipod, which had been getting battered around at the bottom of my handbag.

I made the outside using recycled plastic bags which have been fused together to make a waterproof and getting-battered-about-in-my-handbag-proof material.
It was the first time I used a sew-on clasp frame. I like the added detail of the visible stitching.
I packed in plenty of fleecy material between the plastic bag material and the lining to give my ipod a cosy home.

Right that's all for now.
Off to pick up some new prints from my Diana Mini and then I will begin my big blog catch-up!
