Cell Phone Cozy


I am not what you would call a phone person.  I don't tend to call someone up just to chit chat.  I call with purpose, say what has to be said and then say good-bye.  When Keegan was born, Mike decided it was a good idea for me to have a cell phone for safety issues.  I agreed.  It would sit in my bag until the batteries died, sometimes I would charge it.  To be honest, most of the time I didn't even know where my phone was.  Please don't ask me for my number because I could only find it for you if my cell phone was turned on which was difficult to do when I didn't know where it was.  Do you see the cycle of cell phone non-usage?  It really irked Mike.  Really irked.

About a month ago, he had the opportunity to get me a new phone in the hopes that I would use it more.  He threw a little guilt into the mix as well.  I took it as a challenge and I am doing much better.  I remember it 75% of the time.  Still don't know the number but I know how to find it.  And I have actually used it a couple of times.  Baby steps, people, baby steps.



Since I had a new phone, I decided I needed a nice little cozy for it.  you know, something pretty.  So I made one.  I love hand sewing with wool felt.  So much so, (sew much sew -- i know, dorky little pun but it amuses me) that I made another one for the shop.  I see more such cozies in my future, just because I enjoy making them.
