July 27 of 31

I finished the camera case for Jamie's cousin Melanie. She's turning 30 next Saturday, and I wanted to make it for her, as a surprise, since she hinted on my birthday at that family bbq that we had that she liked my father-in-laws. So I'm popping it into the mail tomorrow, to her house, as a surprise. I hope she likes it. I think I have enough yarn to make a 5th case. It takes about 9-10g for a case, and from a 50g ball I have about 9-10g left. The scale was tethering between 9 and 10 g. Couldn't make up it's mind. So I hope to see enough yarn to make 1 more. However, I have more of this same yarn in a different colorway of variegation. I want to next make one for my Fuji Z1 camera and one for my canon SD1000. I throw my camera into my bag, and I think it needs to get cozy. It's on the list.



Voila. Case number 4. Such an easy and quick knit! I love it! I just hate grafting, so that took a while to get done, but now it's done, so I'm happy!

I was looking for an entertainment center/table for Sean. I wanted something that he can stand up against, and "play". Something with learning and music and this Leap Frog toy was perfect for the job. I picked it up at Toys R Us for Sean yesterday.

He just loves it! He was having a field day playing with all the buttons. I am glad that this purchase was a successful one, and that he likes it.

Today for lunch we had Jamie's ex-coworkers over for a bbq, and it was so hot outside. The weather was so disgusting out today, I didn't want to do anything at all.

This evening Jamie had baseball and I put Sean in his playpen to play and I got a lot of sewing done. I finished the curtains for the front room, I'm hoping Jamie will install that tomorrow, and take down the old ugliness. I'll do a before & after picture. I also sewed some pouches, which are going in the mail tomorrow. One was a prize I need to mail out, and the other was for a special order. I can't show pictures until they're received, as they are both surprises, so I will show pictures soon.

I'm in the middle of watching the movie Reign Over Me with Adam Sandler right now. So far, it's a very sad movie, but very well done. Don Cheadle is also in the movie, Liv Tyler, Jada Pinkett Smith. It's a good cast, and even though it's not really a chick flick, I don't think it's the type of movie Jamie would like, so I am watching it without him. I'm enjoying it.
