It’s a simple fact of life that all things in my bag must all coexist and though there are separate compartments to prevent gadget scuffles, a bit of protection is good insurance. However, there were two things holding me back from buying one of those Kindle covers you see on Amazon: 1. I’m too cheap frugal, and 2.

Easy No-Sew Padded DIY Kindle Cover Tutorial

Shown here is one of the easiest, prettiest DIY Kindle Covers I’ve designed to date. The project as shown is a perfect fit for the Kindle 2, but would also fit a Kindle 3.

She’s certain my digital camera was created solely to photograph her.)Read more…
