Ask the Geeky Girls -
Joanna (whtangel8) from Arizona asks:
So I am watching your Vlogmas CC and in the parts where there is no talking you have on music. What is it? I know that Kay and Dan of the Bakery Bears Podcast use it at the end and she sings to the tune. However I do not know what that tune is and I like it.

Misc. -
~If you live in the greater Seattle area and own a yarn shop, shop at a yarn shop, host a knitting group, or attend a knitting group, my good friend & mentor Tara Swiger & I would love to come teach a natural solutions for knitters/crocheters workshop. Or if you want to host a natural solutions workshop for you & your friends or if you want to attend a workshop, we'd love to do that too. Email me at grande@JavaPurlDesigns.com to chat about this.
