Birthday Time

Today was my 43rd birthday... where does time go?? It was a quiet day. Mike took me up to the beach for a seafood lunch at Little Jack's. It was good, but the scallop meal was so heavy and I have been feeling it all day. I have been so bad with my eating habits lately, and I am really, really feeling it. Tomorrow I turn a new leaf... :-) Anyhow... it was Kingdom Sampler SAL night tonight. I fought the urge to stitch on this until 7 PM... I didn't want to jump ahead of Nikki by putting in extra time. So, I worked in my garden a bit and did some stash organization instead...

I received some really lovely gifts today - will post them tomorrow, as I got so involved in the aforementioned activities that I didn't get a chance to arrange them and photograph them... and Blogger is not even allowing the picture posting form to come up tonight...sigh. I was spoiled rotten by my dear stitching pals this year! I am so grateful for all of the amazing generosity.

And, another daylily to share: Dashing Double

The two Chatelaine passwords came out today - at first glance, neither looks too, too overwhelming. With Martina's designs, though, looks can be deceiving... maybe they will be more burdensome than they appear. But, I won't be starting either until at least Wednesday anyhow.

Thank you, Theo Epstein, for not trading any of my favorite Red Sox players away today (for not trading any of them, in fact!).
