When I thought about words that would describe me,
the first thing that popped into my head was
Nana-razzi!
That's what my kids call me.
At every event, or even just a random Tuesday,
you'll find me snapping pics of my family,
especially my 6 grands :)
So I thought a camera strap would be fun.
I padded it for extra comfort
and stitched "say cheese" on one side...
and appliqued "smile" with another one of my trademarks....
the smiley face, on the other :)
I tried to come up with a clever way to keep the strap cover
from sliding around so I added these fun button flaps
and heart buttons.
Over all I am really happy with the way it came out.
So you're probably thinking....
yeah that's great and all...
but what about the giveaway?
OK...so here'e the deal.

ReplyDeleteI am a follower.
ReplyDeleteI love your words -- and good for you, get LOTS of photos and don't let anyone stop you, lol! I have always used mugs for holding pens and pencils but I love the idea of using them for my scissors, which seem to keep walking away
ReplyDeletelove the camera strap. i would use the cup in my sewing room. thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great camera strap. Great job. I use a mug for stuff in my sewing room but never had it organized. That's a terrific idea.
ReplyDeleteThe camera strap is way cute! Good job Karen
ReplyDeleteLove it! What a clever idea and too cute! Great words and your embroidery and stitching are the perfect extra detail. I have a question though, you said you added buttons so the strap wouldn't slide around. Are you talking about the cover twisting so the words would be on the other side of the strap or the cover sliding closer to the camera? I think the buttons are darling and a great detail.
ReplyDeleteThank you for a neat giveaway and a chance to win.
Your organizer would look awesome next to my sewing machine with all my sewing must-haves in it.
