Nerd Ninja Doll, squirrels and my new iPhone purse

Happy birthday to Erin today!

I recently commissioned Ryan Couldrey to make me a Nerd Ninja Doll. Ryan will create a custom-made Ninja Doll for super-reasonable prices ($15 and up, depending on complexity), and offers FREE shipping within North America.

I'm trying to figure out what a Filker Ninja Doll would look like so I can commission another one. Hm...the possibility of custom-made Ninja Dolls are endless. Book Geek Ninja! Chocolaholic Ninja! Evil Squirrel Ninja! Geeky Rock Star Ninja! iPhone Addict Ninja! Hobbit Ninja! But how to -choose-?!?



Above: a gift from my friend Justin. :-) Heh...I'll have to wear this when I drink tea from my matching mug (a gift from Heather B.). Thanks, Justin!

Thanks so much for your comments and suggestions re: our groundhog problem. I'll respond to them individually soon!

Meanwhile, the local squirrels are becoming more lax in their undercover operations. This morning we found one of their spies napping on a telephone pole behind our house:



He scrambled for a quick escape as soon as he saw me. I hope he gets reamed out by his superiors.



I'm working on a new design for my iPhone bag. The old one was ok, but I thought I'd add a shoulder strap so I had the option of wearing it outside without taking anything else, as well as adding some extra pockets.



I used one of the buttons from my mom's collection as a fastener, plus I have an extra elastic that can loop around the whole thing for extra security.

Here's one of the pockets I added, made for carrying cards and perhaps a bit of cash:



I added a hole near the top so I can listen to audiobooks or music while the iPhone is still bundled up:



I only recently found out from Jeff that the white headphones that came with my iPhone includes a tiny microphone that also acts as a answer/hang up function (so I can answer/talk on the phone without taking it out of my purse) and pause/start for the iPod functionality (ditto for listening to audio books and music while I walk).

If I'm listening to music when a call comes in, the music quickly fades and I hear the ringtone instead. Clicking the microphone button once picks up the call. After I end the call, the music resumes. How cool is that?

Here's what my bag looks like in use:



I forgot to turn around the shoulder strap so the rough edge of the strap doesn't show; the strap is attached to the purse with swivel hooks and can be detached when I want to carry the purse/wallet in another bag.

It's still not THE perfect iPhone bag/purse, but I'm getting closer. :-)

Have a great weekend, everyone!

I have been browsing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be a lot more useful than ever before.replica bag balenciaga
