Camera Strap

I have recently gotten a new camera and had previously seen a pattern for a camera strap cover here. It looked simple enough and I was able to complete it on a Saturday morning. First I selected six charm squares that were left over from another project. I sewed them together then trimmed off the ends to that it was the length of my strap plus one inch.

Next I ironed on fusible fleece to the back and to give it a quilted look sewed lines roughly every 1/4 inch down the length.

The ends are then folded and sewn then the seam is sewn. Next the strap is turned which turned out to be the hardest part of the project.

Finally I slid it over my camera strap and now I have a cute camera strap cover!

Cameras

So today I finally joined the masses and bought a digital camera. Its a Casio EX-Z60 6.0 MP. I am excited because while I have used other people's digital camera's this one is mine. I just have to wait for it to come in since they didnt have one for me to bring home today. Now I will be able to take my own pictures and post the results.

As for reading my latest was the last release in the 1-800-Where R You Series- Sanctuary by Meg Cabot. It continues the story of Jessica Mastriani aka "Lightning Girl" who has secret psychic abilities which she is trying to hide from the government while attending high school and trying to convince her love interest to show some interest in her. The story beings at Thanksgiving Dinner when the new neighbor knocks on the door to ask if anyone has seen his son who left a few hours ago but should have been back. The boy's body is found later in a corn field with a mysterious mark on his chest. This leads the ever inquisitive Jess to try and learn what the mark means as well as who did it. Soon however the local synagogue is burned down and a local Jewish boy has now disappeared. The investigation leads Jess and Rob to a local white supremacist militia that is holding the young boy hostage and has some interesting ideas they want to enforce. It is a good continuation of the series although the battle between the bikers and the militia gets a little unbelievable while still being entertaining. I cant wait for the final book in the series to come out in January.
