I was lucky over the weekend- I was given an armful of the most beautiful roses from my Mum's garden (thanks Mum) AND an iPhone that was previously Tom's, because he received a new one from his workplace. I must admit I'm pretty excited about this new technology but it will take some getting used to, especially because i've never really used a cellphone in my everyday life (it always seemed too hard to look after, along with everything else and my old phone had a habit of sending all sorts of people strange messages from the depths of my satchel).
I think my friends will be safer from such correspondence now that i have this swish little gadget, and, with all the extra features, it should also come in handy for the kids the next time we're waiting in the post office line. I used Mum's garden flowers for inspiration and made a cosy home for it (embroidered in hand-dyed silk threads on black wool fabric and padded for safekeeping.) I like the marrying of new technology with old-school stuff like embroidery.
Happy new week to you!
