You are Enough

 

I often forget that I am enough.  I don’t have to pretend to be someone I am not.  I don’t have to change who I am to please other people or get them to like me.  I am enough just being who I am.  And so are you.

New iPad Case

So this has been on my to-do list even before I got an iPad. I knew exactly what I wanted and I really wasn’t able to find it. I wanted something that could fit easily in my purse but also be used stand alone with a strap. I finished it a few weeks ago but had not finished up the strap yet and so I waited to share it. But here it is…

Here is a front view.  I added the ruffle because it was too plain.  I hand sewed it on afterward but it works great.  I used 3 different fabrics for it and the strap is removable.

Here is the inside.  I made it roomy enough so my iPad can fit in with the pink silicon on it.  The inside is houndstooth.  I forgot to include a picture of the back but there is a zipper pocket for my stylus, pen or even money/credit cards if I was going somewhere with just my iPad.  It definitely came out exactly how I wanted it to :)

Run.Run.Run

So I wanted so share my favorite picture from the run (stamped of course because I have not purchased it, yet… :)

I will say I did play up to the cameras as they were wearing bright yellow vests and thus were easy to spot. I have never had any race photos come out this good (at least, I think it is good, haha). So I will be buying the digital copies :) There were some other good ones as well.

In addition, I ran the race with my neighbor across the street. She is from France and is moving back (sad!) so I made her a going away present. I actually want it myself.

I cannot wait to give it to her!

Nashville Map Necklace

So what do you give your best friend to remind her of Nashville (and how much you want her to move back??)… a Nashville necklace.

I printed the map on my color printer and then laying the tile over the map to pick out which area I wanted to include. I made sure to include Nashville and all the surrounding towns. I then traced the tile, cut out the map and then glued it onto a glass tile with the special clear tile glue. I love how it turned out and actually had to give it to Bri before I actually took pictures of it :)

Thankfully, Brianne is the best and took pictures for me with her fabulous iphone :)
