From the moment I saw Melody Miller's Ruby Star Shining line I knew that if I ever owned an iPad I was going to have to use this fabric for it. The typewriter, the heart, oh the love. So when the need arose for me to have a little carry bag to transport my cork covered iPad, Nano, Headphones, and iPhone I knew exactly what fabric to use!
The bag measures 8"h x 11"w x 3"d. It has an inside pocket divider and easily slips into my larger handbag so I can put my electronics in whatever bag I might be using that day. It is especially convenient as I travel between my 1st and 2nd floor while carrying Miss O...
Then, while cuddling with Miss O balanced on my lap, I decided I had to make a little trinket for myself...
I realized after naming Miss O that she and her sister's initials were very special indeed. At first my father pointed out that E, L & O stood for the Electric Light Orchestra. Um, okay, not really a thrill for me anyway. But in my sleep deprived mind it struck me that their initials also made up 3 of the 4 letters for L-O-V-E.
In typical Rebecca Lynne style I completely freaked out at my good fortune and disgusting cuteness of it all that I had to do something with their initials as soon as I realized! [note: I refer to my daughter L as Miss V when blogging because her nickname begins with a V, a nickname started by Miss E who no longer calls anyone by a nickname because at age 3 she wants to prove she can say everyone's full names including middle names when she knows them. Anyway, I only point this out because lest my readers think I suddenly had yet another child or that I had forgotten my child's name!]
