birthday loot

Last Thursday was my birthday, and on top of having my great older sis come to visit me in the currently frozen north (which was her gift to me), I scored some great birthday loot as well!

My mom, Robin and grandparents all chipped in to get me the mother of all birthday gifts...a sewing machine!



My great friend (and fantastic blues musician) Shakey got me a washboard and some brushes for it...



He also got me these radtastic harmonicas because I'd expressed an interest in learning recently...(I had my first lesson from him this week!)



I'd say it was a pretty successful birthday.

I also promise to start posting photos more often.
