FRIDAY FINISH

PHEW ... didn't think I was going to manage it this week. My mom is visiting from Florida - she's been here a week and staying until next week. We've been doing too much playing and I've not been doing much working (sewing isn't REALLY work but it's MY work - and I LOVE it!).

On Mother's Day, my Cute Husband decided that my mom and I both really needed a NOOK - it's Barnes & Noble's e-reader. WOW doesn't even describe how great this gadget is ... in seconds I can download a book ... anytime, anywhere. AND - Mom and I are linked together so when she buys a book, it goes right into my NOOK and when I buy one - she gets it. Thankfully - we both read the same type of books ... murder and mayhem.

So ... my Sew and Tell for this week ... I made my mom a new purse. I went into my sewing room early yesterday (in my jammies) and came out at 1:00 with this ...
I gave it a long strap because she likes to wear her purse across her body. Here's the back - a zippered pocket to stash her cell phone and cash.

AND ... the best part ... are you ready?

It holds her NOOK! Aren't I too clever?!! It also holds her credit cards on the left with a flap cover that's velcroed down. I've seen lots of binder covers, book covers, etc. so I played around with several ideas and I'm just so pleased with how this turned out.

She'll never again leave her book behind at the hair dresser! Now, I need to make one for me.
