lily got her very own camera for christmas this year:
i didn't have time before christmas, but one night, shortly after, we were at my sister's sitting around ye ol' giant flat screen television watching the ballad of ricky bobby in hd (which if it's not already, i'm sure will become a post holiday tradition in many a household) and i decided to whip up a little case for her camera.
it's a tube of sc, with the bottom whipstitched closed, a row of hdc eyelet to weave the tie through, and a little picot edging on top for just a touch of lily-fanciness.
i think it took just slightly longer than the movie to complete, but i did finish it in one sitting. gotta love crochet for those quick little projects!

Cute case (and I blurred Lily looks quite pleased by it as well!). And super awesome that she got a camera for Christmas!! Will Lily let you share any of her photography adventures with us?

I think these would make handy cases for all kinds of things! Looking forward to seeing some of Lily's photos too.

Perfect case! Even better for being completed in one sitting. I wonder what the cat thought was in there!

Awww, this is a very special gift for Lily! She's appreciate the new camera case the more she uses it. I received my 1st camera when I was 13, my older brother gave me a black & white Polaroid! I LOVE it!!
