Thirty-seven

I had a birthday today. Not a special one really worth celebrating, but a birthday all the same. The girls came over for morning tea and the kids played peacefully, giving us a chance to have a chat, some cake and a sneaky glass of champagne.

The evening, Tools came through with the goods, although at 10 past 7 this morning I did think that he had forgotten. He cooked me a great dinner, made a card with the Rooster and got me this little beautyMany, many things I'd like to try with my new friend. I have a craft space taking shape at the top of the stairs right where Missy use to sleep (I promise there was no ulterior motive to the move downstairs over the weekend) and a little stash of material just waiting to be made into something lovely.

    Every birthday is special and worth celebrating! I hope there was cake and balloons and decorations for you. Your sewing machine looks awesome, and I'll bet you start making some pretty amazing things soon.
