for christmas i purchased a new york times digital subscription for mister.  we’d talked about getting subscriptions before, but could never commit.  but it kept coming up in conversation that he had gone over his 10 free articles a month, on both the computer and phone, so i thought it would be the perfect (unexpected) gift.  i made a felt iPhone with a screen shot and a fake article printed onto an iron on transfer…

i’ve blurred mister’s name here, to protect the innocent.

little volume buttons.  i wanted to add all of the details, but i ran out of time!

the home button

i love how thick it is!

mister carried this around in his pocket for a few days, occasionally pretending to make phone calls. this amused me immensely.  the bee has not really seen it yet, being seriously distracted by all her own new toys.  but i suspect that once she does see it, it will become hers.
