My daughter-in-law asked me if I would make a Kindle cover for her birthday and I was more than happy to do that for her. She had seen a cover in the store that used a book page on the front and wanted something similar. No problem, I could do that easy enough! She settled on a passage from Alice In Wonderland, but she couldn't scan the page from the book, so I suggested that I could simply re-type it to resemble the original text. No problem. Add the perfect teapot fabric to go along with the tea-party theme of the cover, a photo of Alice and the Mad Hatter to use as a bookplate, and a little time to figure out a pattern and voila, a Kindle cover! I was quite pleased with the finished project and as I sat there admiring my work I saw it...a TYPO! I can't tell you how many times I proof-read that page, my husband proof-read it, my daughter-in-law proof-read it and no one noticed until it was all done. Doesn't it figure? I didn't have the fabric or the time to make another one before her birthday, so I sent the "prototype" and I'll be making another Kindle cover in the very near future...minus the typographical error!

Now that is clever.....
ReplyDeleteI love your Kindle cover. I'd leave the typo alone, it adds more character.

A typo! That is your humility block- as such. It is a wonderful gift and I feel the mistake is a loving touch. Probably no one else will ever notice. They will only notice the ingenuity and love of the handmade gift.
