3DS!!!

for christmas alistair got me a 3DS!  i'm super excited about it.  i really wanted it because the new version of animal crossing is coming out only on the 3DS.  and you all know what an animal crossing lover i am!!  i love that they put bunnie in the trailer, she's my favorite animal.  i really really hope she shows up in my new town!

anyhoo...joseph is the one who first told me about the 3ds (i'm not really into video games and was clueless) and animal crossing so i'm thanking him all around.  i'm super excited for may and the new animal crossing.

but the 3ds is great!  it has a camera, internet (yay, netflix!!) and the 3d is really awesome on it.  the new version of mario kart, mario kart 7, came out on the 3ds, so i went and got that the day after christmas and am racing away.

but i'll be carrying it around with me a lot and i didn't want to get one of the ugly cases for it...so being me, i made my own.  mom gave me some fabric for christmas that is SUPER cute and i thought it would make a great little bag.

here is the fabric.  adorable and textured!

some of the pieces all cut out (i'm padding it with quilt batting):

and super cute white and yellow lace that i've been dying to use but didn't know what the hell to use it on.

here it is!

 i decided to use velcro instead of buttons or snaps because i thought it would be easier to get in and out of and not snag on anything in my big bag.  all we had was black velcro...i would rather have had white, but i wasn't about to drive to ballard for white velcro.  why, oh, why isn't there a craft store in NE seattle?  someone please answer this question!

i made a little pocket on the outside back to carry the games in.  they're really small and fit great in the pocket!

and here it is...my new 3ds (thanks alistair!!!!!!) with the hello kitty earpods i got for it!

since we don't have access to netflix in the bedroom and i really really like to lay in bed and watch tv, i can now watch netflix on the 3ds and not drive alistair crazy, hence the hello kitty earbuds.  i think these hello kitty earbuds would have been AWESOME, but i just didn't have 75 bucks to spend on them!
