New Stuff!!

This week is one of anticipation and fun as I look forward to and play with a few new toys!! First off, my printer ran out of ink a while back and I have been dragging my feet buying new cartridges because it costs me $100 to do so. And I just hate to spend that on ink. But Leif just saw this:

on Woot, so we ordered it! For about $50 more than I was going to spend on just ink I get a much better machine, with much higher quality printing, and the cartridges cost much less ($25-$30)! Plus I can replace the individual colors instead of getting a whole 3-color cartridge when one color goes dead. Hooray!!

And speaking of new tools for my craft room, I finally decided to get this beauty:


with the money I got for blogging at the store. I'm using it to make some new items for my etsy store, and I still hold to my earlier opinion... I love it! It even has a home on my shelf already, which is a plus! Now... any suggestions on where to get the binding coils for cheap in a variety of sizes and colors?

The item I may be anticipating most is something that I have wanted ever since I saw Dana first mention it. It is the cutest apron in the world:


Unfortunately, my guidelines for sewing sort of keep me from making one for myself. Oh, I could maybe do it, but I just don't have the patience for it. Amazingly, though, I won Dana's apron giveaway, so I'll be getting this in the mail!!

It's not quite finished yet, but you get the idea. I am SO looking forward to it and SO excited about it! The colors are perfect and come Thanksgiving I am going to be the CUTEST cook ever. =D

So there you have it. Things I'm looking forward to and enjoying playing with.
