I Love Swap Partners and the Mail
So this morning I got my glass grinder back via FedEx. It went out last week to be repaired and I have it back in working order. This afternoon I got my package from KnidiotinHavre. She spoiled me rotten. Look below and you'll see all that I got.

Christmas
What a holiday! It was 3 days long for me. Christmas Eve at my Dad's, Christmas at home with Robbyn and then at my Mom's and the day after at a friend's. At my Dad's I was also with my Step-Mom and Step-Sister. We opened our stuff and we all liked what we got. I got my loom stand so now it will be easier for me to weave. That was awesome. It was also nice and easy to assemble.
Christmas morning was spent with my roommate and the kitties. Robbyn liked everything I gave her. I liked what she gave me. She even surprised me with a glass grinder. It'll be so much easier to do stained glass here at home now. Also, we can grind our fused glass pieces here at home then take them in to be fired. Now to get a Kiln. That afternoon we went to my Mom's. It was a houseful with the 2 of us, my Mom, Step-Dad, Grandparents, 2 cousins, Aunt & Uncle. We all had a blast like usual when we all get together. Everyone liked what they got again. The highlight of my day there was the trunk my Step-Dad made me. It's not here at home yet as it didn't fit in the car, but it'll be here in about a week. I also got an ergonomic crochet hook. Now I can start to crochet. I've tried to crochet and have had no luck at all. I tried one of these ergonomic ones out about a month ago and loved it. I was actually able to make a chain that you were able to get the hook back into. Today I grabbed a book and started to teach myself. I'm crocheting rather tight right now, but may end up loosening up as time goes on. I did the same with my knitting. I even started a Granny Square.
Today we (Robbyn and I) also went to our friends house where we were given more presents. I was given such a cute alarm clock, gift card, and more things. I got a crochet book with the gift card already and not the one previously mentioned.
Overall It was a great holiday and had a great time with family and friends. Now to rest, relax, recover, and get creating for next year. Oh and all the birthdays in between. Happy New Year everyone

The Soul's Obsession
Holiday crafting is going along extremely well. I got 1 scarf woven in 1 night and am working on another one. I still have 3 to do by Christmas which will get done. I'm also knitting one for an Aunt of mine. I have pictures going up over on Ravelry under the screen name of VangeKnitter whenever I get a project done.
The glass fusing is also going well too. My friend is putting a tree up in her store where we can make ornaments to put on it for people to buy. My roommate & I have about 10 ready to go on and who knows what is in the kiln too. It puts me in the holiday mood. I'll eventually post pics of everything.

Happy Tuesday
I love Tuesday nights. Especially now that things are back to normal at my friend's store. On Tuesday nights she has her glass fusing class. Robbyn and I are now in it. Such things as that can make ones day and it makes mine. I'll have to post some pics sometime of some of the pieces that I've made.

No, I don't knit. :P We all know I do though.
Well, if today doesn't show my knitting side to myself, nothing will. It was the first of 10 classes that I'll be teaching with 4 other people. Now the 4 other people know about me and knitting. The one's we're teaching though, know nothing about us. as the morning goes on we discover that they are a very quiet group. We ask a question, about the format of the class and wether or not they like it, and they don't respond. i go to say something and have to stop myself to say something different.
What I wanted to say was, "Don't worry I won't tie you up in yarn or get you with my pointy sticks." with a laugh of course. Instead I say, "We don't bite." I had to stop because I realized they wouldn't get the joke like the 4 that know me would. It's like the other week with the customer in the shop.
A customer comes is to use the class grinder and is wearing a nice scarf. It's made from at least 2 balls of Lion Brand Landscapes. As she's about to use the grinder I remind her to take the scarf off. My concern was first for the scarf, secondly for the grinder, thirdly for the customer. I didn't want to see the yarn ruined. Afterwards I started to laugh. You'd think that my first worry would be the customer. She's a nice lady so it's not like I had anything against her. Thankfully I didn't tell the customer my line of thought.
