So down to the crafty bit, it needs a case and I just can’t bring myself to buy something that I can make myself so this was what I came up with:, its quite a bit more girly than the ones you can buy:
I added iron in interfacing and lined the bag with snuggly fleece to protect the data store. I had to take the zip around the bag to make it easier to get the unit in and out:
I added a little zip pull that I made from a millefiori bead I think it kind of looks like a strawberry!
The only zip that I had in my stash that was long enough was a red one so the fabric was chosen based on that, I cut out some felt strawberries and attached little beads for the pips.
It reminds me of summer, strawberries and cream, wimbledon and pimms!
Back Soon ♥

Thanks for the heads up, Kandi! Just what I'm after (or so Jon tells me).
I absolutely love the case, what a great job.

Oh I may well have to invest in one of those. I've been vaguely meaning to get one for ages and I think I had some idea that they were quite expensive. £27 is pretty reasonable!
Lovely case, Kandi! xxx
Thanks guys, yes the same ones were over £45 on Amazon. It said £39 on the shelf in Tesco but the till charged £27. It was well researched by a friend of mine (who knows about these things) and it had great reviews. It's really easy to use too, just like a memory stick drag and drop.

I'm definitely going to get one of those, I need to back up our photos as everything is on the laptop. I also thought they were really expensive and bulky, so pleased that I can finally get one! Thanks for the heads up.

Just Gorgeous! The case I mean! The technical bit went right over my head!!! Should I be needing one of these things??? Love, Amanda xxx
Wow, I love the case ;)
Can't believe i've only just found your blog hun, am following now :) xx
Thanks guys xx
What a fab idea, I do worry about backing up my files and the case looks really professional :)
what a cute case, its lovely :D I have an external hardrive too, mine cost £70 as it is 1000gb but I edit so store alot of video files on it hence why the memory is so big. I didnt realise you could get the smaller ones so cheaply, thats great when you consider some pen sticks are £10! I wish I had a cute case like that, much better than carrying it around in a box like I do!
