Thanks to all of you for the bday well-wishes. It was awesome, even with it falling on Friday the 13th. (Not that I'm superstitious or anything... *throws salt over shoulder*) After an amazing breakfast of homemade waffles and fresh fruit (made by Mr Wonderful), I went to work and indulged in chocolate cake. As if that wasn't enough, we had an evening of dinner and dancing with the inlaws. My mom-in-law made this awesome dirt cake thing, placed in a flowerpot and all!! I wish I would have taken a picture because it was sooooooooooo realistic. Unfortunately, I was craving sweets that night, so there wasn't much left at the end of the night...
AND, look what I received in the mail!
Some Mission Falls cotton, a yummy candle, and gummy candy shaped like breakfast and pizza! (There was one shaped like a hot dog, but some pregnant chick ate it...) My secret pal sent me this sweet birthday surprise - Thanks so much Secret Pal!!!!
I took my happy self over to Hill Country Weavers in Austin today to find a gift for my secret pal, and I just happened to find something for me too! Imagine that...
It's one of those beautiful baskets from Lantern Moon to hold my knitting projects. I got the big one seeing as I have a lot o' projects right now. Hidden away inside is also my yarn for the summer bucket-along which I've neglected thus far. I guess I just like the added pressure of a deadline because I only have 2 weeks to finish and submit it. And no, you can't see the yarn -it's a surprise!
Anyhoo, time to go play with some yarn and make googly eyes at my hubby, and then to bed since my first early day of work is tomorrow. We're finally doing our first surgical cases after weeks of preparation - yikes! Send good work vibes our way----
Happy Birthday!
I don't think I ever thanked you for the Anny Blatt tip. I couldn't find any to look at in person, so I am going with an alpaca trim on my shawl, but on my trip to NY (soooon!) I will be looking for some of those Blatt scarf kits to ogle. :)
