Among the many wonderful gifts I received for my 29th birthday, was a copy of Barbara Walker’s Classic, “A Treasury of Knitting Patterns”. I am enamoured with each pattern, and cannot wait to cut my teeth (or knitting needles) into some previously unknown-to-me pattern. It amazes me that there are 4 volumes, how could one woman put these patterns all together?! Yowza’s!

Another fantastic present was the gift a gorgeous auto-harp. (Yes, I still need to take a picture I know!) My soon-to-be-husband (see word of the day….) was soooo sneaky and I found it right on my craft table, with a teenie card, in a neat-o case.

My pal Star sent me a huge care package full of the most thoughtful gifts! Tea, chocolate bar with chili’s, bubble bath, hand knit washcloth, head band…it was fun to open all of the wee packages! My sister gave me a really interesting book called “Misquoting Jesus” on how and why the Bible has been misquoted, abused, interpreted, and re-interpreted…I heart history and theology…so this book has quickly become a household favorite.

So much more to post…more soon!
