Modern Traditional? and a winner

Before I announce the better butter winner I've got a random question for you. Do you like/have modern dining furniture or are you more traditional in your furniture choices? What about other objects around your house? OK now what about your personality?

I have a hard time defining which I'm more like for both my personality AND my personal style. I'm really a mix of the both. Let's take my most recent craft project for example:


Yeah that's right, it's an ipad case... high tech, modern, sleek... and yes the case is quilted... traditional, old school... juxtaposition much?

For me I think it's the perfect balance, kinda like me. I sew, I cook, I crochet... and I kept my own last name when I got married this summer. John says he never knows where I'm going to land when it comes to my traditional vs. modern views on life... I say it as keeping him on his toes. Makes life much more interesting :)


I used red thread to contrast the black and white materials. For the lining I used a fleece material and a thin layer of cotton batting for extra cushioning.

So how about you? Swing one way more than the other, or are you like me? An ipad sporting a nice quilted case.

Oh right... the winner :) Picked exclusively by random.org:
