It took me about a day to open the box because it felt really special and new and I wanted to save it for when I could properly enjoy opening it up. It's a Retina Display one which means the display is lovely and bright and colourful - and I chose to have the iPad in white because I'm a girl and I think white is pretty.
I'm in the process of trying a few illustration apps on the tablet which I wanted to share with you, but over the weekend I found my new gadget to be very helpful when I came to work on a little project I've been meaning to start for about a month so I thought I'd show you some pics...
A while back I bought a bunch of jersey fabric from my supplier in Manchester with the intention of making some blankets, burp cloths and bibs for baby M. With Gossip Girl on in the background, a nice clean studio and plenty of decaf coffee beside me I sat on the floor with my fabric and found a step by step tutorial online which was really easy to follow on the iPad as opposed to on my phone or my desktop mac. (The cat thought he would help too. Contrary to his belief, he was not helpful whatsoever.)
This morning I just finished a batch of bibs and have yet to decide how to finish the blankets - I'm also thinking I might need to get some of my own fabric printed up to bring a few of these items to my line. (The bibs are double sided; I just need to add a velcro fastening and give them a wash)
Anyways Argos offers free delivery on these beautiful iPads - I think you should treat yourself! I love mine already. Last night I sat on the couch after dinner and placed a re-order for some of my favourite soaps from Rockytopsoap on etsy, the shopping experience is so much nicer on this thing than from a phone or computer.
