Santa ROCKS!

I was brought some awesome gifts by Santa this year. I got yarn from my dad and a cool bubble maker that glows in the dark. C got me knitting essentials like a knit kit to bring on the plane and three pattern books that I have wanted. I also got a huge pile of Sharpie markers. They are my favorites and I even got some limited edition colors. Now I can go though my old ones and throw out all the ones that are dying. But my cooles presents are completely different, one on the cutting edge of technology and one so old fashioned that they aren't really even made any more.

I got an IPad!!! This means that I am typing this right now on it. It can get my email, get online, act as my new credit card terminal while at craft shows, and generally make my keeping in contact easier and much much lighter to carry around than my old lap top.

I also was given an bobbin lace roller pillow. It was hand made in a town here in Puerto Rico that is famous for it's lace making. They are nit readymade anymore and luckily a friend of C has a family member who lives in the town and could find someone to make me one. The pillow is this emerald green and the instructional book is in Spanish so it will take me a bit to translate. I have found a few videos on the Internet and plan on watching them in conjunction with using a lot of Google translate.

I started the couch to 5k running program again this morning. I really sucked at it. Haven't ran since august so I really lost stamina. I will go out again tomorrow for a walk at the very least. I have also been knitting, two washcloths on the plane yesterday and almost a full hat today. I hope to get some of my completed knit projects up on the web site for sale later this year, I am collecting quite a pile of them and I have given away so much to friends, family, and charity. Maybe someone might be interested in some of my creations? I guess time will tell...

Ok, time to stop playing with my new toy and get some sleep. Lots to do tomorrow, need to exercise, visit family, knit, and start working ion my web site update and ordering supplies.
