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.
