Happy Birthday baby!

Tomorrow (Sunday) My gorgeous, wonderful, sexy, loving, kind, generous, thoughtful, amazing, hardworking, supportive, clever, caring, funny, romantic, sweet, strong Husband celebrates his 35th birthday.

Have a wonderful day Baby! I'm so happy that you get to have the whole week at home with us! I wish you could retire now and stay home with us every day! I never get tired of having you at home!

A Treasured Keepsake...

Martha Stewart made Easter baskets this week using crocheted doilies soaked in fabric stiffener. You can find the instructions at: www.marthastewart.com:80/article/doily-basket?xsc=stf_MSLO-ARTICLE

I'm fortunate enough to own a beautiful handcrafted doily, but there is NO WAY I am using it to make a basket!!!!

My doily was a wonderful gift from a friend and I treasure it! Sharon made it for me! I don't know if you have ever seen these up close but if you have, and have ever taken the time to really look at how fragile they appear, I am sure you can appreciate the time and love that must go in to them! In the photographs above you can see the one Sharon gave to me. Isn't it gorgeous?

Is it out on show? No - because I have a three year old who would probably use it to wipe his nose on (sigh) if my pillow wasn't available (sigh) but I think I may back it with black cardstock and have it framed instead.
