skell-e-straps!

I know, it has been forever since I have "blogged".  Didn't have much to blog about, I guess.
This past weekend, Nate, Jane and Emmett and Finley were home, we had such a good time. I worked half of the weekend, but had the 4th off because it was my holiday off.
Jane is busy taking photos of us;  eating sleeping, working, playing, she has really become the photographer!! Courtney is also getting into the art and profession, she and Jane both have Canon cameras now, as well as Kristi, I have the Nikon.
Jane had her camera out and I noticed her camera strap made out of black and pink - and after looking at it, I decided I could make some of them, they are really cute. The one Jane did have was made with a thin connecting strap, she and I decided it was too flimsy and made her nervous  that the clasp would give way and would drop her camera.
So . . . I went upstairs in my little room, found some cloth and the rest is history. Enclosed are a few pictures of the straps I have made. I think I will post them on Lynitas too, let me know if you want one!

We found out that the Canon has a longer strap measuring 26.5" long and the Nikon has a 23" long strap. The width was the same on both. I made some of the linings softer than others. And of course the rosettes are just darling.
I put one on my camera and love it!
They are easy to apply, you just slide your strap right inside of this one.
