So over the past few months I have managed to accumulate more "toys" than I've had in the past few years, the most noticeable one being the tablet that I'm typing this blog on right now. I love it, I've been using it for everything from reading books and manga to teaching myself to play backgammon and Go. It's also been great for reading crochet patterns and has a great post it app for my to-do list, which includes reminders to take my meds and attend appointments.
My beautiful new camera was a purchase from a few months ago, and has already performed well at a wedding, as well as getting some cracking up-close shots of birds. I've added a tripod and a pop-up studio tent (with the idea being actually getting off my lazy butt with listing things on eBay and etsy). Just today I also placed an order for a great camera bag thing since there's no point in having the tripod if I don't have the means of taking I out and about. Especially I'd like to take some photos of the beauties of Scotland, particularly for my friends abroad.
Then last week, after hearing from folks at the Glasgow School of Yarn that Classic Carders - the company that makes the fantastic drumcarders that I've been lusting after - had become successful enough to require vat registry, I made the plunge and ordered mine before the prices jumped by 20%. Here's a photo I swiped from their site of what mine will look like as it doesn't arrive till Friday.
I'm not being naughty though. The carder will be my Christmas present from Pyro. Honest.
