Birthday Business

Today's mine - I'm 40!

But, I had much unfinished birthday business still to tend to, before I could celebrate.


First, Melissa's Tree Jacket had to be finished. We had our last "fitting" this week and now it's ready to be given. Her birthday was 12/9. Oops.

Then, Maya had to finally finish my Mom's birthday mittens. They're her latest sewing project, begun way back in Dec. Unfortunately there were many steps and details to tend to - and Harry Potter 3 to read - so they've been delayed from their due date of 1/22.

(Please note that my Mom is NOT a Giant, but this sewing business does result in some variation when I let Maya do her own pattern making. It's cute. )

And yesterday, we had Zoe's 4th birthday party at Build A Bear with a few of her little buddies - notice the scarves.....


Maya, always willing to pose, holding a few more of the Bears....

Now I'm all done.

Next weekend, Craig and I are off to New Orleans for a little trip - so don't waste any time feeling sorry for me.

And in a few hours, I'm off to Boston to spend the afternoon with some buddies before the big kickoff.

Should I say 'Go Pats' or just be honest that I could really care less and am looking forward to an entire night of uninterrupted knitting while Craig and Maya are off watching the game?

guess I'll say Go Pats!
(but you know the truth....)
