Kindle Cover

 I think I had mentioned that my husband bought me a Kindle for Mother's Day.  I was so excited and I had been kind of expecting it.  I had been anti-Kindle/Ereeder (I don't even know what they are really called).  They seemed like a lot of money and I love the idea of books.  I had said I was old fashioned.  Well now I wish I had gotten one sooner.  I love to read but since becoming a mom I read much less.  Most of my free time during the day I spend crafting or doing craft related stuff online.  I have always loved reading at bed time but for the past two years I have slept in the same room as my daughter.  My other problem was getting books.  I am too cheap to buy a fiction book (craft books are another story).  I love the library.  But the problem with the library is that I now take forever to read a book and I forget to renew.  

So in the little over a week I have had the Kindle I have read every night.  It feels so good to be reading and to have a book I am reading.  I really feel like I had been missing something for the past few years.  It isn't free but it is worth it.

Here is the cover I made for my Kindle.  It makes me love it even more.

I used the tutorial from Clover & Violet.  It was great.  This was quick and easy.  I figured that since I would be using this cover everyday and looking at it a lot that it would be okay for me to cut into some of my Heather Ross fat quarters.  Here is the back:

And the inside:

I am so happy with my cover and Kindle.  I also love the book I am reading.  It is The Wind-Up Bird Chronicles.  I read about it on another blog but I can't remember what one.  I love when bloggers share what they are reading.  I'd love to know who wrote about this book on their blog if anyone reading knows.

Today I am linking up with Let's Get Acquainted on The Sewing Chick blog.
