Yeah!  So with any luck I’ll have her up and running by the end of the weekend.  I can’t wait to see all she can do.

Oh and I did finish my SWAP contest entry at exactly the last minute, no lie.  It was midnight in California when I finally completed the last form.  While I didn’t win, I’m so glad I finished.  Really I did some last minute sewing too.  So I will be showing that soon too.
