Turning the mundane into art

So Hubby got me a Kindle for Christmas. He intended it to be a secret, but it was delivered separately from the Wii Fit he ordered, in its own little box that actually was quite Kindle-sized. And it was delivered while he was away at work, and I was home with the kids. I remember thinking "Oh, that's the size of a Kindle" but was summarily distracted afterwards for the rest of the afternoon. When Hubby got home he was quite glum and then opened the box, assuming I knew exactly what was in it and who it was for. Actually, it had escaped my mind. But he was determined to give it to me that moment, so I have an early Christmas gift that needs a case. I haven't liked any of the ones at Target or Amazon (actually, there were a few off Amazon that caught my eye, but they were the Diane Von Furstenburg ones that apparently, let your Kindle fall out which does not sound very protective). So I started looking at Etsy, and found one that seemed decent except for the fabric print. But today Hubby sent me a link to this California company that makes leather Kindle covers and I'm in love. These look like works of art. And they're (relatively) locally-made (if local can be considered the same state), how cool is that?

I've been trying to keep up with the knitting, but playing with my new Kindle has been taking up precious time.

  1. The leather ones are beautiful!

    I was playing with my brother's Nook over Thanksgiving, and I think I could read it and do simple knitting at the same time, because it will lie flat in a way that books won't usually....
