New Capo!!! Oh yeah!

I've been playing guitar for 10 years... and in the last 7 years I have had only 2 different types of capos. First, below is this ugly, retro orange and black elastic capo that I bought for only 2 bucks. 

And second, for the past couple years I have been using this cheap, ugly, plastic capo that clicks and literally sounds like it's going to break after too many clicks...

Jenna came over once (when Jacob and I were living in Laguna) to play guitar with me, and I was putting my capo on my guitar and she laughed and said, "what the heck is that?!?". And I said, "It's a capo!"  and she goes, "...no. THIS is a capo." and she whips out this crazy, weird lookin thing that looks more like a clamp if you ask me. Anyways, I have been playing a lot guitar lately and my ghetto $3 capo has been giving me some trouble and it's not really working for me anymore! So I decided that it's time to move up and update!

 So here's my new capo in action! haha... oh, and I give credits to my beautiful yamaha acoustic guitar (that my biological dad owned) who I gave the name "Mimi". :D 

Eat Your Heart Out, California Roll!

So I was browsing the web yesterday and I decided I wanted something to put my iphone in. Jacob has a clear case... but I wanted more than just a case! So I found this on griffintechnology.com. It is called the California Roll. It's a case for your ipod/iphone, headphones, and usb cord thingy. This costs 20 bucks on Griffin and I wasn't wanting to spend that much for a case that I can make myself! So Jacob and I went to JoAnn's crafts to buy a few things. We went to my grandma's house where all my cousins were, and I started making my pattern! I gave MY california roll a twist and put an extra pocket (for cash)! There are a total of 4 pockets if you can see. One cash pocket, one credit card pocket, one iphone pocket, and one earphone pocket! Here it is! 

materials:

duck cloth (that's the fabric), elastic band, sewing machine, double wide black border, 

thin, but strong plastic you can sew (the kind you see in wallets for your driver's license or the kind that is used to cover up the cheap pocket calendars)! haha 

The great thing about the clear plastic is that you can still use the touch pad without having to push hard. It's great!
