dry eraser marker cozy of DOOM

[athenaknits?]

My roomate is taking Cell Bio this semester, which at the university she goes to is only taught by one person.  It is the class with the highest drop out rate.  She and I decided to put a dry erase board up in the kitchen to help with drawing pictures and general studying.  Since I have taken cell bio before and well, have a degree in biochem, this way I could help her study.  She went an bought a bunch of markers for it but alas, there was no place to put them when not in use.

So one night last week when she went to work, I got busy.  Making a cozy.
hanging on the wall, next to the board.  It was made with some left over sugar skull fabric so it matches the rest of the kitchen

Rambo Style.  For all those nights of Cell Bio %&* kicking action

Haha, that's great!  I can see many nights of fun with the marker cozy of doom!

[Ahoy Sailor!]

awww so nice of you. very cool idea. would work also for kiddos when out with writing utensils and paper.

[endlessly_intricate]

So awesome!  I love the doom action. 

[lee-lee ess.]

that's pretty cool!  Dry erase boards are AWESOME, I don't think I would have made it through college half as well if I didn't have mine.

[narhloki]

LOL cool. I think we all need one of these!!

Hmm, I could definitely use a marker/craft supply bandoleer, I'm always loosing my thing amongst my crafty mess. Very cool!

[julibooli]

Fabulously stupid. I mean that in a nice way.

[bcgrote]

Ooooh, can you make me one that fits the little 'cans' of mini M&Ms?  Then I can have all my felting needles in their holders, and all the holders with me so when I break a needle I have more "ammo" ready!

This is AWESOME!!!

[tiltcreations]

Love it!
Forget Rambo...she's Craftbo now!

[onetomatotwo]

HA! Love it! This is most excellent -- nice work!

[amalgam]

Sweet! You should walk around the campus one day wearing that. See how many weird looks you get.

Dry Erase Rambo. I love it! Great attitude going into a tough class. You're a good friend 

[Farnsworth]

I have a tendency to write copious notes on windows with dry-erase markers when doing biology homework... this would be an even better way to both take notes and leave the windows more colorful and informative in my house wonderful cozy, and a great idea.

love the wearability/doom aspect — good job!

[I Sew Cute]

This is so clever and also useful! Great fabric choice!

[namaste_mama]

[mlheran]

That is actually really clever and useful! And I love the pen bandolier!! 

[athenaknits?]

Bandolier! That's what it is called.  I just kept refering to it as my utility belt feature.  Thanks for all the comments!

[CallMeKelly]

Luv it!

[Bluemopitz]

Dude!  Why didn't we have one of these when we lived together?  I like your kitchen wall color too.  This rocks. 

[athenaknits?]

I'm not sure why we didn't have one, it would have been handy.  Thanks for the wall compliment, the color is called tiger stripe
