Actually, that should be 'where did January go'? Spent the week setting up and playing with the iPad when I wasn't interrupted by little things like having to go to work. The free wifi at work proved useful when learning to buy ebooks on the Internet. Both Whitcouls and Amazon (with a Kindle app for the iPad) worked like a charm and downloaded my books in no time at all. I now have several ready to read on my travels, plus my contacts loaded and email connection sorted. My husband has figured out how to add photos through the separate photo connector which should prove handy on our trip.
Not much quilting done again this week, but I have made a handy dandy bag for my iPad using some bright Laurel Burch fabric sent to me by a U.S. friend. Doesn't it look great? Maybe next time I'll add a pocket for the accessories, but it was quick and fun to make.
Tomorrow we are off on our great 'overseas' travel - overseas to the North Island that is. With neighbours for house and cat minders we will set off early for our ferry trip to Wellington and onwards. The iPad will provide entertainment while the other half fishes, and our trip will take us past (or maybe not 'past') several quilt shops along the way. It'll be fun to see if I can add to this blog as we go.
Her majesty, the ruler of the house, is alongside me and talking loudly. It might be a reminder that I have things to do, but is more probably what my husband calls an 'impolite request' to add to her food bowl.
Oh well, chores to do, packing to start, iPads to play with.......
