Thank you all for your wonderful Birthday wishes. I took down my place saving Avatar so that I could bring you up to date on the real booty! What a wonderful thing to come home to at the end of a long working Friday.
We have here wonderful massage slippers, a wonderfully silky and warm pink scarf for my neck with some bling to go with it. Next trip to the Civic Center, watch out. I may even wear the pink massaging slippers.
I do have to give a shout out especially to my husband for his thoughtfulness in this celebration of my birth. The knitting needles, needle holders, and the most coveted wooly lamb measuring tape he bought all on his own. I gave him no hints. He surprised me with bamboo double points in sizes: 0, 1, 1.5, and 2; picked them out all by his little self. Thereby proving that sometimes Men Do Listen. And check out those knitting cards in the photo up above. See all the cute girls knitting?
Clever, thoughtful touches like that get me every time. Love you honey.
Friday night was spent in leisure eating shrimp scampi from my favorite Italian Restaurant, as well as Boston Crème Pie for my cake. Lovely choices. My husband knows me so well.
The rest of the weekend was spent with this result. My first dyed roving. I just jumped in with a full immersion dye technique, since I had no idea how the colors would take. I can see that it is going to take some finesse to get the more subtle colors that I am fond of.
