Jan. 31st, 2011 05:51 pmHoly crap, when did tea kettles become expensive?! The big yellow one that lives here was sadly found to have developed a case of rust in the spout, so a trip to the store for a new one was in order. Seriously? $20 for a little teeny one? Really? The last time I bought a tea kettle it was twice that size for that cost! *grumbles*
Found my wire-wrapping book today in the trek southward to haul more crap to storage. It'll give me something to play with while it snows for the next forever, I guess. I also finally used the Fire Mountain gift certificate I got at Christmas-time and should have some much needed epoxies and a stand-up butane torch to play with next week(once I get butane for it, that is). Mmmm...fire... (Don't worry, Mighty_1, I promise not to burn the house down.) I also managed to find one of my more useful Reiki books and my of my flower essence books, so I can do a bit of studying on that front, as well.
I am, however, half-tempted to scavenge around friends' basements/attics/garages for old scrap bits of things to cannibalize for assemblage projects, since finding/getting into some of the old abandoned buildings is a bit tough this time of year...
