Birthday Wrap-Up

Well, as my close friends know, I turned 31 on Sunday!  Here's a bit of a recap of some of my loot:

I got a Kaffe Fassett book from J, my Mom and Rachael and the strip quilting books from J's mom, B.  Thank you guys so much!  I love them all!  The next picture is what I bought with some of my birthday money from Aunt J.  I got The Essential Ellison, In Stitches by Amy Butler, a newer Umberto Eco book and the dvd of Hot Fuzz.  I also got this:

A new pair of shoes, some creamsicle perfume by Demeter and a ton of fancy, girly make-up (and yes, all of the Vincent Longo was 1/2 price, I'm not crazy!)  The fabric is a fun jelly roll called Holly Jolly from B.  The big finale was from my parents who got me this:

There was more, but you get the general idea.  Thank you so much everyone.  It is all perfect!

Not Again!

Aw Jesus!  Now I've got to get this!  Just when I thought I had FINALLY read them all.  Damn you Christopher and Adam Tolkein.

Thanks, Rachael for the heads up!

And yes, i did just pre-order the super deluxe geektastic version, thank you very much.

sigh.

Well, Hello to you CraftLit!

I think you're pretty nifty too. 

What a great idea for a podcast!  As I am a knitter who is fairly inadept, I totally appreciate being able to listen to good books.  I am not among the talented few who can read and knit.  So thank you Craftlit, you have a new listener!

Coincedentally, I am currently going through a bit of a Dickens fit.  I am attempting to track down a 20+ volume set for cheap.  Wish me luck!
