Don't be fooled by the title of this blog. I'm not one of those people who are forever winning things; you know the ones, everything from chook raffles to Lotto - they always seem to be in luck. Not me. Anyway, imagine my surprise last October when I actually did have a bit of luck- I won an iPad. Not that this was something I desperately wanted or anything - I really didn't know too much about them (I'm not really a technophobe although my mobile phone doesn't even have a camera- it's not that smart!) but decided I should embrace my good fortune and find out.
I have discovered that on my iPad I can
- read books
- listen to music
- log on to the internet (I haven't done it yet- I will when I find out how to)
- keep an electronic diary
- store photos
and much, much more!
Of course if I want to take it anywhere it needs protecting, doesn't it? So I made it a nice padded pouch using some floral fabric (once a furnishing sample) and the synthetic felt from a tote bag received as a free gift with my favourite magazine. Sandwiched between felt and fabric is some cotton quilt wadding to keep the screen from getting scratched. Oh, and a little applique cut from the floral fabric, just so it doesn't look too boring on the outside.
