i give in.

after craving one for months, i finally caved and got myself an iphone. technically my phone contract isn’t up until august, but i decided i just couldn’t wait any longer. i have to pay out a little bit of money on my current plan, but i think it’s worth it.
i think the final straw came last thursday, when i received a convo on etsy about an urgent custom order while i was at work. i could check my email on my current phone, but couldn’t log into etsy to reply to it. our internet usage at work is heavily monitored, so again i couldn’t log in to reply. the order was for 25 bookmarks, which needed to be in america by april 3, so i would need to send them the next day (friday) to have any real chance of guaranteeing their arrival. so i replied when i got home to clarify some details and check whether they still wanted to proceed, then i didn’t receive a reply until i was at work on the friday that they wanted to go ahead. i was able to quickly duck home inbetween some meetings and pick everything up and get it sent off, but i realised that if i had an iphone i’d have been able to sort it all out on thursday with no problems.
so, i caved. it arrived this morning and i just can’t stop playing with it. best toy ever.
and look! now i can show you photos of things i’m working on with relative ease (ie. no cables. i hate plugging stuff in).
i’m working on a few collage type pieces, and still playing around with exactly what i want to use. i’ve been making a lot of smaller gift tags to include with my orders, and i made these yellow ones late last night. but i love the paper so much, i think i might keep them for a bigger piece that i’m working on.

treasury!
Posted by shan | Filed under pretty things, stuff
by pure luck, i saw someone in the etsy forums say that treasury was open in 1 minute, so i thought i’d give it a shot.
i made this: autumn afternoons. cause, dammit, not everyone is going into spring. it breaks my heart a little to see all the gorgeous colours and fashions all over etsy at the moment, while we’re about to head into the cold.

stalked by chickens
Posted by shan | Filed under me, stuff
after two champagne-fuelled nights, we awoke on sunday morning inspired to make pancakes. i pulled out my new donna hay cookbook and found a recipe. conveniently, i already had all the ingredients in my kitchen.
so we set about making the world’s best pancake stack. and, even better, we succeeded.
exhibit a:
we were a few pancakes into our breakfast, when all of a sudden tim started coughing and spluttering, almost choking while trying to get my attention. “bok bok bok…” i was so very confused, with no idea of what he was talking about. until i looked down at his plate.
exhibit b:
one lone, lost chicken. but what was he doing in my home? we stopped, confused, and pondered what this could possibly mean.
we slowly resumed eating our pancakes, but no more than a minute later tim stopped. and stared at my plate. i looked down, and couldn’t believe my eyes.
exhibit c:
the chickens were obviously trying to communicate with us. but what were they trying to say?
MY NEW FAVOURITE OLYMPIAN.
