Necessity, Invention, Mothers
In lieu of a breakthrough on the camisole (see progress picture below), here's a cool trick (and gratuitous background pics ofKazakh embroidery).Necessity. Last month, I was searching around on the B&H Photo website for a carrying case for my digital camera. I couldn't believe these things cost $45 bucks!
Invention. My brother keeps his digital camera in an Altoids box. Sturdy, cheap, and less likely to be stolen (though arguably more likely to be thrown out or misplaced or lost for months under a car seat). My camera is too big for Altoids, and a little too small for this Lemonheads box I found in a bargain bin at Target.
Mothers. My mom suggested lining the inside with bubble wrap. Which she glued to the metal interior of the box with... varnish. Had no idea varnish worked like that. Damn.
Reluctant to admit that my mom sometimes comes up with some great stuff.

What kind of tiny digital cameras do you people have? I would have to practically buy a carton of cigarettes for mine.
