A few weeks ago, I bought myself my very first laptop.  Its not any laptop, its actually a netbook, meaning it is teeny tiny.  I can actually fit it in my purse!  So the night I bought it, I looked for a case, but wasn’t happy with any of my options.  That’s when I decided I needed to challenge my friend, Deanna, over at Recycled Lovelies to make one for me!

My specifications:

• Padded
• Made from scrap fabric (recycled!!!)
• Pocket for charger
• Shoulder strap

Not only did she meet my expectations but she EXCEEDED them!  The yellow vintage fabric from the 60s is so my style, you would think Deanna was my bestest friend.  I meeeaaaaan, seriously.  Um, D, can you make me a cute little dress from that fabric?  And a skirt from the striped fabric?  Because that would be absolutely dreamy.

But I digress.  The point is, I LOVE IT!  I love that its unique.  I love that its recycled.  I love that its handmade by a friend.  Every time I look at it, I will remember Deanna and her hard work.  So, thank you D!

I also asked her to make me a very simple drawstring pouch (also from recycled fabric) to put my fancy camera in to protect it, since I usually just throw it in my purse, where it is constantly battling with the elements (random pieces of gum, dust, dirt, etc):
