Camera Strap

I think these camera straps are absolutely adorable! I would love to have one for my cannon camera! I came across the blog Grosgrain and saw these cute camera straps. There are different fabrics to chose from. All you do is slide this cover over your camera strap! What a cute idea! I'm adding it to either a "craft to do list" (for my hubby that is, he's the one who can sew!) or a "to buy list"...not sure which one yet! I looked up camera straps on Etsy, and found that most cost around $10...and come in cute Amy Butler fabrics!

Old Tee Shirts...

Do you have a drawer full of old tee shirts that you don't want to get rid of for sentimental reasons? I did. A few years ago I turned them into a quilt. It wasn't very complicated, although my mother in law did do the sewing. All you do is cut your shirts into even squares. You can make as many squares as you want, and you can make the blanket as big as you want. Then we sewed the squares together. We got fleece big enough for the back. We stuck batting between the fleece and the tee shirts. We used some of the fleece for the border as well. Then afterwards on the corners of each tee shirt, we stuck ribbon through all of the fabric and tied knots to hold all of the fabric together.
