Thanks to everyone who wrote and wished me a happy birthday! It’s been a very nice day even though I’ve spent it alone and to make it even better, I just got an email from Keith saying he should be home by 7PM and he’ll take me to dinner. So lots of whining all week about nothing!
I did manage to get out to the Four Seasons Quilt Shop in Plymouth, MN – Jeanne recommended I visit it. I’ve been a good little stashbuster for most of the year but I was running low on some of my staples…backgrounds, blues, and reds….the woman at the shop commented that I must be doing patriotic quilts but no…I’ve just found that blues and reds are my favorites for borders and bindings on my scrap quilts and they work well with our HeartStrings quilts too. I’ve also wanted to try Mary Ellen’s Best Press so I picked up some of that too.
When I got home I found this massive gift basket from Keith – filled to the brim with all kinds of bath goodies…have I mentioned how much I love taking a bath with a glass of wine and a good book? Thanks Keith!
And one other gift was waiting to be opened too from my Mom. I’d mentioned that I’d been wanting to try some of the new silicone bakeware and now I have an entire set. Thanks Mom!
Sounds like a PERFECT day so far and of course Keith being home is the BEST!!!The lqs trip looks like it was very successful as well!Laurie
Sounds like you’re having a wonderful birthday. Oh, that basket looks like it’s full of lavender . . my favorite! Y’all have a wonderful dinner and enjoy every minute of your birthday evening!
Wow! That was a good birthday!
Woohooo, looks like you racked up big time. What a fun trip to the quilt shop AND dinner cooked for you too. Have a wonderful, mahhhvelous birthday!
Sending wishes for a very Happy Birthday to you, Mary. I’m glad you were able to find some fabric at Four Seasons Quilt Shop. You made great selections. *s* Such nice gifts from Keith and your mom, too. Enjoy the rest of the evening!
Happy Birthday, Mary! Am I the only one who sees chocolate when I look at that bakeware? It seriously looks edible.
Happy, happy birthday! What a wonderful basket of bath products! And I agree with Wendy — that bakeware does look edible!
Glad you had a good day, and that Keith made it home. Hope your inner was great!
Sounds like a wonderful birthday! I’m glad Keith made it home to take you to dinner, but if he hadn’t, the basket would have made up for it! :o) I’ll be curious to hear how you like baking with the silicone pans…I’ve never tried them.
Happy Birthday Mary. Glad you had a good day after all and that Keith got home in time for dinner. What a great basket from your hubbie! Don’t drop that Kindle in the water. And please give us a report on the cook ware.
All is well that ends well!Hope the Dinner matched the rest of the day.
Happy birthday & be sure to tell us how those silicone baking “tins” work…
I’m so glad you had a good birthday after all.
Now you’re set for a wonderful day of quilting, baking some goodies and then have a luxurious bubble bath with a glass of wine! Enjoy!
