Spain, Here I Come!

I got my approval for my leave of absence from work so that I can go study abroad in Spain. I also received the letter from the college saying that my paperwork had been processed and to wait for further instruction. So, to me, that means  =  I'm going to Spain!! Yippy. I really need to get away from work for a while. Too much paperwork and not enough time, too many interruptions, yada yada.

The zipper on my knitting notions bag broke and I really liked that bag. It was given to me by my friend Becky. It is actually a travel bag, some sort of roll-fold into one piece with see through zippered compartments either for carrying lingerie or jewelry, but I like it and I looked in several different stores today including JoAnn's and Michaels for a bag that would work just the same way and no one had it. I still have to look in other stores, maybe I will get lucky.
 I found this image on Craftsy on the Learn to Make Lace Shawls video that I just recently purchased. I like it alot. I put it on my Pinterest and hopefully I will learn how to make my own. I haven't been able to see the whole video because I've been catching up with my homework and studying. I only have 2 weeks left of school.
