Thirty-nine years ago today, I celebrated my very first birthday.
Today, marks another birthday milestone. I am now officially a member of the 30:10 club. (Here's my initiation photo... two way mirror to the rescue in this self portrait).
One year ago today, my family and I arrived at dawn, in a new city, after driving through the night. This was the I first time I laid eyes on Edith, the one hundred year old house, that was to be my home for the next 10 1/2 months. I cried. (I was so overtired from the move, the drive and then to discover how dirty and smelly our new "digs" were. It didn't make for a very happy birthday. )
Today, I'm still getting settled into Woodrow, the upgrade from Edith, and I'm happy, well-rested and looking forward to enjoying my birthday. ;o)
Today, I finally have some sewing to share! Check out my new lounge pants, made from a vintage sheet. Oh, how I love 100% cotton - especially the softness that comes from vintage goodness.
Today, I'm going to skip all housework, eat some chocolate, do some quilting, drink some tea, relax and enjoy being home with my family. Here's hoping your 'today' is filled with wonderfulness too!

Note to self: Don't move on your birthday.

ReplyDeleteHi Katherine,
ReplyDeleteIts so nice to SEE you! You're gorgeous! And just a baby.;) I'm a whole 4 years older than you. Which is why I only posted my photo from a distance. LOL
SO glad to see you're getting settled in to the new house. Lovely home, by the way, and how nice to have such a good size room to yourself for sewing.
I'm totally digging the lounge pants! Vintage sheets are sooooo soft, I need to make myself a pair...when are you posting the tutorial? ;)
Enjoy your relaxing day.
Kimberly
