Night at the Improv.

Macgyver excluded, no one can improvise like a mom.  I take that back.  As women we start improvising early.  Hair gets in your way, invent a new style with twists, turns, pencils and a paper clip. A Sharpee is great for last minute 'shoe polish' and no one understands the power of duct tape and super glue better than a woman.  From fixing your hem to a broken nail, we know how to get it done no matter what our circumstances.  As moms we quickly discover how many McDonalds napkins stuffed in babies onesie will hold them till you get back home to your forgotten diaper bag and once again Duct Tape is great for keeping them there! 
Life in general is left open for chaos and any fix necessary to get the job done.  Recipes are a suggestion and even patterns can be altered to perfection, but starting from scratch?  A designer I am not.  Designers I love were former, physicists or engineers, very detailed, technically minded individuals that understand the science and reasoning behind every stitch.  I just wanted to keep my Kindle cozy and while I'm at it, my toes too. 
Two designs emerge from nothing. 
Complexity, zero.  
Oozing with functionality and just enough detailed bling. 
Turning what was once thought of impossible into reality, nice.
