ABC 123, More Birthday for Me

sw home

Hello, all! Thanks for your comments on the Encyclopedia. I’m already thinking about “B”. In the meantime, though, I thought I would share a little more birthday goodness with you. On Saturday, Eric took me to see the Star Wars exhibit, Where Science Meets Imagination. It was pretty cool, and included a lot of the costumes and models/maquettes from the six films. When we got home, the mailman had brought me a goodie from Carol.

Birthday Fob 082507

Carol stitched me this sweet fob that is a Prairie Schooler freebie. So cute! I love the little tassel. I’ve already put this on a pair of scissors, and have been so enjoying my first fob. Here’s a look at the whole package. Unfortunately, my photos turned out a little dark – so it is hard to see that the bottom of the fob says “abc 123”. So cute!

Thank you, Carol! You’ve spoiled me! And speaking of spoiled, remember Jenn sent me that gift certificate to Down Sunshine Lane. Well, my order arrived yesterday, super fast!

This is what I got!! It’s so funny too, because I’d had a dream about this chart the night before my birthday and when I woke up, I thought “hmm, I should really order that.” Then I opened my email and the opportunity presented itself. Thanks again, Jenn!

Sunday night provided more birthday goodness, as we went to Eric’s family’s home for dinner. My sister-in-law made me a lemon cake with lemon icing and decorated it with Plumeria. I love Plumeria – it reminds me of Hawaii!

And since I had to go over to my LNS to get some thread for my next Shepherd’s Bush ornament, I thought I would treat myself to chart. I’ve loved this one since I saw Karen V. and Tina’s SAL on it, but after visiting two Meeting Houses in Philadelphia, it’s a must-stitch now!

Stash 082507

That’s all for me today, my allergies are better and the 3-day migraine I had all weekend seems to have lifted. Everything that was causing anxiety for me, has been resolved and I am feeling pretty good. I’m making progress on Katrina’s RR and am pleased with the new house I’ve chosen to stitch for her. Eric has helped me pick out a color for the roof, and I am moving right along!

I am grateful for being seen.

  1. Carol’s fobs are so sweet. Lucky you getting the chart you wanted. I recently saw the original sampler chart sold on Ebay for $125! I don’t think I will ever pay that much for a pattern. That birthday cake looks yummy!
