iPad cover

 {and the unlimited world of online subscriptions}

Lovely mum is now back in the UK and I have an amazing toy to play with – my belated Birthday present! All my family contributed (Thank you, thank you, thank you!) and with the final gift voucher from my mum, I made my way to the Apple store and bought myself and iPad2… Once I had a motorbike, and now I have a lovely sewing machine but this is easily the coolest piece of machinery I've ever owned.

And off course I had to make a cover (I only bough it to make a cover, just kidding). I immediately knew it will have an appliqué and I wanted it to be quite girly…so flowers seemed the perfect choice. I picked up the red fabric in Ikea a few weeks ago and the petals were made out of scraps given to me by a lovely fellow blogger mum. It is made in a very easy way, and I hope to be able to post a tutorial very soon.

So do you know what was the first thing I did? I purchased an online issue of Mollie Makes. Don’t get me wrong, I love a nice paper magazine on a quiet afternoon, but Mollie Makes is simply not available in Germany and I have been eyeing it ever since it came out. Well the digital issue did not disappoint, in fact every web site or blog has an actual link to it so  I just click on it and it takes me straight to the site. When I want to go back, I just close the link and I am back at the same page in the magazine …I can’t stop telling you how cool it is.

Finally, and to follow with the Mollie Makes cover, I wanted to share Lovely Little Daughter play strawberries which I made last year, hence the played-with-a-lot appearance. I made them from felt, stuffed them with toy stuffing and used yellow thread to make French knots for the pips. One thing, I should have only left one layer of leaves as now it resembles a bit of tomato. A long tomato.

Wishing you all a lovely weekend!

Love,
Irina xx
