On this day...


I was born...


Mr F gave me a wonderful pure wool cardigan from www.woolovers.com which is so warm, I feel like Im wearing a Rayburn... Love it!!!


I have brightened it up with a corsage...


And I popped some pink stripe-ies on...


And played with wool this morning...


Deciding to marry my handspuns with my other yarns to use for making hats...


And so a little perusing of the pile began...


And a hat was made!

I had my birthday cake (lemon cake made by Littlest) at 11 oclock this morning... with 6 cups of tea... because if you cant be decadent and greedy on your own birthday, when can you?!

Last notes: The en masse POD bags have nearly killed me... thank heavens Im not working today! I start shoes next week...

Ren, a joyful, peaceful, creative new year to you AND a wonderful birthday. When I read your description of your day I thought to myself how close it was to my idea of heaven on earth; tea, yarn, pink and green stripes. Perfect. Pink and green make a fine pair.
