Yes, Santa was good here, too. The only thing I asked for and received was my Oliso Pro iron. It is amazing! I love how I don't have tilt it up and down while ironing as it saves so much for my arthritic hands and wrists. More importantly, of course, is that it also irons like a dream. Lots of steam, lots of power; it puts my old iron to shame. (I named it Buttercup because that is its color:) I am a very happy woman, married to a man who would do pretty much anything to get something he thought would make me happy. I have to be careful what I ask for, to be sure he doesn't go overboard here. They only thing he has ever refused me was a goat, but I wasn't serious about it anyway. Now it is a private joke when I bring up getting a goat. He gets all serious, as if he doesn't realize I'm just yanking his chain White Featherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11483244242119593426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-8997381785236069412015-01-06T14:05:08.283-05:002015-01-06T14:05:08.283-05:00That looks like fun.

All shiny and gorgeous!! Cannot wait to follow your latest journey and I know t.hat you will create some beautiful items with your beautiful gift from Santa.<br /><br />I still have much to learn and explore with the gift Santa bought me last year...........Serger - Brother 3034d. I am happy to mess about with the tension etc, but haven't seemed to have had much time to learn about all of its capabilities.<br /><br />I think some late santa gifts along the year will be more patterns to add to my stash!!<br /><br />Have fun with the loom, and excuse the pun, but please keep us posted.xxMarysiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17959080591821794196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-58264753064911556342015-01-05T10:52:12.655-05:002015-01-05T10:52:12.655-05:00I've heard only great things about these looms...I've heard only great things about these looms, enjoy!

Sounds like you are on your way!<br />I've really enjoyed my felting machine as well. It is such fun to explore surface design and so creatively satisfying. There is some amazing inspiration on Pinterest.

I did not give in to the Siren call of beading at that first class, but I can't wait to see where this takes you. With your talent, I'm sure you'll inspire. <br />I must have been pretty good last year because Santa brought me a Juki straight stitch machine. I haven't had a new machine since I bought my (still perfect) Bernina 25 years ago. My Santa gets a very specific list. Most years he loses, it and that's fine, too.

And how you create with it.<br />I've planned to make 2015 a year of exploring surface design. I'll be trying lots of new-to-me techniques with paint and trying some dying. But my first foray is into the world of needle felting using my embellishing machine (which has been in its box for 2 years). I've started a couple of pieces already, with wool roving, hand embroidery and beads. I'll be needle punching fabrics, yarns and who know what else with the machine also - "felting" smaller pieces to larger background fabrics. I'm having a blast so far. I hope you enjoy learning to use your new toy!Dixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14712003004658269721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-74180227435188360422015-01-04T20:39:30.243-05:002015-01-04T20:39:30.243-05:00What a lovely gift!
