I know I’ve already done a ‘show and tell’ of my crafty Christmas gifts. But I didn’t mention my ‘main’ pressie – a Kindle!
I have to admit that I felt a bit guilty for coveting one, as I’m a real book lover, and hate the thought of books being replaced one day by computer-type-things. But, still, I wanted one. I was mainly thinking of how it would save me from having to pack 4 or 5 books in my suitcase every time we go away anywhere (freeing up more space for bags, beads and brooches). So, I wrote a little letter to Santa – and he granted me my wish!
And...... I LOVE my Kindle!!! It’s small, and it’s light, and it’s super-easy to use (even for me)!
But, in order to be dragged around everywhere with me, my Kindle needed a case! And I wasn't too keen on the standard leather/plastic/rubber ones I found on Amazon. So, I decided to make my own. It didn’t take very long to make, and I was really pleased with how it turned out.
Now my Kindle can accompany me on all my adventures! The colours are very nautical, don't you think? Maybe, then, we should book up another cruise.....
In fact, I might make another Kindle case (a girl can never have too many different Kindle cases, you know) and take some photos as I go. Then I can post a tutorial on here. I’ll get on to it.....
Until next time.....

P.S. In case you were wondering, my first Kindle read is 'Laura's Handmade Life' (by Amanda Addison). I know it could be deemed 'chick lit', but I don't care - I think it's fab! I think there may be a review coming up.....
