"my precious" gets a face lift...

Ever since my kindle screen broke and I got a replacement "my precious" has been naked. Just plain ole boring white because I really was not in love with any of the skins from Decal Girl and the skins from 3acp.com leave a residue. I finally decided to splurge and ordered myself a custom skin from My Tego. The bad news is that they are in canada so I was expecting a bit of a wait for it. The good news is the wait was only about 2 weeks total, not bad for a fully designed custom skin and shipping from that cold country up north.

So, here she is (and no she does not have an official name yet...) with the Oberon "Roof of Heaven" cover and a custom Monet's Water Lillies skin.

Many hours and a destroyed dining room later...

I finished my Kindle pouch I have been wanting to make. I am underwhelmed. To begin with I splurged on the fabric and now that it is finished I am just not in love with it. Second, I screwed up .... it should have a shoulder strap and I just couldn't make it look nice. Third.... me and fusible fleece are not friends and I should stop messing around with it. I can deal with it in diaper bags and messenger bags, but in smaller things I end up with lumpy unflattering almost symmetrical pouches.

All in all, this will work fine for around the house but it is not what I hoped to do and I will probably by myself one from Borsa Bella if I can find a fabric I like.

I am saving the cleanup of the dining room for tomorrow....

A kindle dilemna...

For our anniversary in April Jim is going to get me the most awesome purple leather cover for my Kindle from Oberon Designs. To go with this cover I have decided that I need a new skin for the kindle and I am having a hard time deciding which. Too many options.... *sigh*

So here is my "Roof of Heaven" cover in purple and the skin options to go along with it:

I managed to stumble upon an entire forum for Kindle freaks like myself: http://www.kindleboards.com/. Within that forum I found a couple of handy links that can help you decide what you would like to read next. I always figured there had to be a website out there that you could put in a favorite author and/or book and come back with suggestions...well here you go:
