Happy Birthday to Me!

This past week I turned 35. I felt that it was a milestone birthday for some reason, but I'm not sure why. Maybe because it's farther away from my 20's? Maybe because it's closer to my 40's?

I don't know. All I know is that it was a good day, filled with family, friends, some pretty flowers and a fancy chocolate cake from my fabulous hubby.

Then, two days later I got carded buying PBR's at the grocery store.  I guess it doesn't matter that I'm 35 as long as they still want to see my id!

Here's to another year filled with fun, crafty and tasty adventures!

A New Year

My friends all said that 33 is a lucky number, so this should be a good year for me. I have to say, I believe that my last few years have been very lucky and good. But who am I to argue with numerology!

And if this isn't any indication that I'm off to a good start, two of my coworkers thought I was in my late 20's!

Here's the birthday pic with the hubby! As our friend pointed out, it wasn't just my birthday, but the 2 year anniversary of when we got engaged! For my gift, he gave me a bouquet of my favorite flowers and tickets to the opera next week!

Happy New Year!

We rang in 2008 with good friends, good food and a good laugh. Of course, it was at the expense of the Space Needle fireworks that had a "computer glitch" and didn't go off as planned but amused us greatly!

2007 was a good year (I did get married), but it was also a good year knitting wise. I've decided 2008 will be the year of knitted goodies for me! Selfish I know, but I'm quite excited about it. I've already got a list of things I'm dying to knit:

• Clapotis
• A sweater (am thinking the Hourglass Sweater from Last Minute Knitted Gifts but am open for other ideas)
• This fabulous felted purse I bought the stuff for long ago
• And several items from my new book Knitting Little Luxuries

These items are not in any particular order and I'm sure - I mean, I know - that my list will grow but it's a good starting point for '08!
