I'd like for you to meet Philomena.


I decided to name her something deriving from "philia", since I wanted her to mean love and friendship. :)


Opening and reading the card and being completely floored.


Customary stick-the-bow-on-someone's-head part of unwrapping. This time, my brother.


Paul reprising his role from Action Movie.


Opening the box that says "Fricke Enterprises" on it.


Looking at the card again. I was reading off the names. Paul says that's what I look like when I'm just about to cry.


Evil Cat is Evil


ASSEMBLY: Lay out all the parts and identify them.


Treadle, base and wheel post.


Wheel and footman attached.


Scotch tension!


Bobbin, flyer and delta orifice.


Driveband and pullies.


Me and the wheel. (Can totally tell it is me, yea?)

Thank you everyone. I still can't get over this. I can't find a way around this that will let me be paranoid or skeptical. I'm just happy. I love you guys. :)

i wasn't involved, i'll admit, but that is hella rad =)

glad to see you happy after such an ordeal.

yeah, it's hard to get everyone involved when you're trying to keep super secret. I'm sure there are many people who would have loved to have chipped in, as well, but couldn't, or couldn't be contacted, or we just didn't really know them.

Though, we ended up having more than enough money from the people we had.. if literally everyone who wanted to chip in would have, we'd have probably just emptied ReBelle's stock XD

What an awesome gift!

Sorry I couldn't chip in being broke and jobless and all. I'm very happy it ended up working out though. Yay, spread the love :3

I dyed some fiber for you to spin on your new baby. I am leaving it at the store for you. *robyn

Aw, thank you! Sorry I didn't make it out last night. I would like to hang out some before we head out this weekend if you have a night available.
