Travel Tuesday - Toothbrush holder

A new sewing challenge - travel toothbrush holder.  So I said yes, I can do it.  Since I am using scrap fabrics, it was easy to do a trial run but I need a small piece of plastic material for the brush to touch in case it is not dry when you slip it in.  This is not a tutorial but just a little explanation of how I did it.  First, I made the case which is very similar to making the fabric wallet or eye glass case.  Once I have that, I made what I call the insert,  I measured the length of the toothbrush and the width of the case, to make sure it will slide easily.  Then I cut the fabric together and add the plastic piece last. I almost forgot that I glued the plastic to the fabric before sewing it, just an extra step to have the plastic stick to the fabric flat.  Here's a couple of photo so you will get the idea.  If you like new simple and easy project, this is one of those that you can finish within half an hour.  Try it.

 

Twitter Thursday - Still debating

When Twitter was still new, I remember Jeff's cousin telling me to join it because we needed at least one in our family.  She said that I will be the perfect one to represent the rest of the family since I already have a blog.  I thought about it for a while and then forgot about it.  A few months later I asked my daughter about it and she thought it was also a good idea, but only if I wanted to.  The days just flew by and one day decided to check it out on line.  I found out that there's a maximum character you will have to use - 140.  Since I already know that it will be difficult for me to stop at that number, I decided maybe it's not for me.  While watching Tennis and Golf, I always see all these comments of fans following their favorites on Twitter.  Again, I back to debating on joining and researching more.  Jeff mentioned that I don't necessarily have to write something but I could just follow my favorite people and see what they have to say, etc.  I know that I have to come up with some sort of name that is not taken, then I have to sign up, hopefully I would have read all the rules and policy about it.  Say I did all that and got the hang of it, who would I be following?  How long would be the list? Let's begin in no particular order.

As for my name, I thought about the following but have not checked to see if they have been taken, but it's a start just in case I do decide to join.  Do you have any suggestion for me?
