A New Laptop Case For Moriarty

Flicky flies back to Scotland on Friday to start her fourth and final year at The University of St Andrews.

Making A Cover For Moriarty And Brightening My Daughter's Dark Side

HELP!!! My daughter has gone over to the dark side - she's bought herself a Mac.  Before she bought it, on an afternoon trip to Chelsea Market, she made a quick diversion and took me to their meeting place - I didn't want to be there, I begged to leave, "just look how beautiful they are" she said but I kept my sunglasses firmly in place, "touch one, pick it up, feel how light it is" - I took a step back towards the door.  Admittedly the air conditioning was icy cold and very welcome on one of the hottest days of the year but I wanted to get back to the warmth of the Manhattan streets.

In need of a cup of tea we nipped into Think on 8th Ave, OMG they had me surrounded, at every table in the place there were people using Macs - not a single Windows laptop in sight.  "It's a cult" I heard myself saying "and you're joining them - you're going over to the dark side."

That night the deal was done, the die was cast.  'It' arrived and she was so thrilled I had to snap a pic of her opening the box.

She's called 'it' Moriarty and I love that she did - 'it' really is the arch-enemy of several people in her life including her Dad and me.  You see my husband and I are both ex-Digital Equipment Company (DEC) employees, Deccies through and through and when you've spent many years on that side of the great computer divide, it's very hard to migrate to the 'other'!

Let's not forget though that above all else I am Flicky's Mother so when she told me she needed a cover to protect Moriarty from scratches I couldn't help but oblige.  She had a rummage through my stash and chose Pink Echino Birds And Berries Cherry, Kaffe Fassett Oriental Trees and Bear Essentials by P&B Textiles alongside a lime green zipper.

And here's the result - a quilted, zipped cover for Moriarty the MacBook Air:

 

 

I'm still not a fan of Moriarty but even I have to admit that she's right he really does look quite beautiful in his new cover and the gorgeous Echino pink does at least help to brighten Flicky's dark side!!!
