a letterpress

Today we had another cookie decorating party.  We had a small turn out because everyone has been busy!  We were lucky to get it done this month.  I even tried a new gluten free cookie recipe but the one person who would have really wanted it has been sick and did not come.  Next time maybe.  Then I can tell you how it worked.  There was a large pot of potato soup and a large basket of rolls.  It made it very good.

I bought myself a letterpress.  My friend Ed found it on craigslist.  He knows what I like.  I went and looked at it and it came home with me.  With more then was in the ad.  I still have bits and pieces to buy to make a print but I am part way there.  I am very quietly excited.  I will be more excited when I have bits and pieces and print something.  

Now, I need that drum carder!  Then my current need for tools is satisfied.
