I meant to write this yesterday but in the rush of things it just got away from me and I tend to ramble so it would of been too rushed! Yesterday was my birthday and I had such a wonderful day!!!! But first let me say Happy Birthday to Michelle of Cozy Egg who happens to share my birthday!!!! How cool is that!!! My day started off a bit busy but then my niece and I went out without my brother since he had some work to catch up on....It was so nice to just have a day with her!!! First we went to get my eyebrows groomed then it was time to pick up her birthday present and some other pieces at the frame shop. So without anymore wordiness here are the new framed pieces! Fern by Nora Corbett
and my niece was speechless ...just the reaction I wanted!!!! Next is Fairy Celebration by Passione Ricamo
and Alphabet Sampler 
And lastly Sweet Sweet Babe by SamSarah Designs which is for hubby's friend back east 
Then we went to SP and showed the ladies in my stitching group the framed pieces (sorry I missed you Margaret ) and from there it was a unique bookstore called Dead Poet's Books. It is an eclectic used bookstore that we could have spent hours in and almost did. Then tonight it was to the MGM Grand to see KA a cirque show which was good but a bit confusing although the production was spectacular!!! And then dinner at Wolfgang Pucks Bar and Grill!! I had the shrimp risotto that was unbelievable!! I have to say it was a good day and I even fit a swim in!!! But poor hubby had no idea what to get for me and was stressing so I told him something useless and girly!!! But still I could see he was lost....so while at SP I picked out a few things since he had been in there that day before and left empty handed and had given the owner his cell # just in case she thought of anything.......here are my new Ginghers, needleminder and a chart I fell in love with...
The threads for the chart are on order as I need 9-10 skeins. A girl can never have too many scissors....
I adore anything leopard print!!! I had so much fun and what made it even more special was having my brother and niece here. Today is another full day starting with Pilates at 8am so I better get to bed.....I really rambled on this time .......

ReplyDeleteAnd your framed pieces are just beautiful! LOVE the colors in the Alphabet sampler....online it looks periwinkle.
As for Cirque, have you seen OH? Since you swim, you'll love it, as well as the actual engineering of the set.... unbelievable!
Again, oh happy day to you!
Happy (belated) Birthday Juls!! Sounds like you had a great day.
ReplyDeleteYour framed pieces look amazing, gorgeous frame choices! I particularly love the one the alphabet sampler is in. Im glad your niece liked her gift
What a great birthday Juls. Sorry I missed you at SP but Lina & I were there early and then drove to Valley of Fire. She was awed by its beauty.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting all your framed pieces or I would have missed out on Fern. What a gorgeous gift this is for your niece. Love the gifts you chose from DH. We are so fortunate to have this great LNS.
Hope to see you again next week. Have a great weekend.
Love all your framed pieces Juls. My fave is the sweet sweet babe, it is very adorable.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, a girl can never have too many scissors. Your new one is lovely. =)
Happy Birthday to you! Your framed pieces are just stunning! Just gorgeous work.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated Birthday! Fern is gorgeous!! I'd be speechless too if I ever received something like that.
ReplyDeleteOk I'm confused I thought I commented already but I haven't. I love the finishes... they are spectacular!
ReplyDeleteI want to be your niece.
Happy Belated Birthday! I've been quite a bit behind on my blog reading and have just gotten back to yours to find that I missed your happy day. :(
ReplyDeleteYour framing jobs turned out great. I LOVE how Fern turned out, and Fairy Celebration looks wonderful. I'm getting ready to add Fairy Celebration 2 to my WIP list any time now. I've already got the matching fabric and floss ready to go once I get my Christmas ornaments done.
(BTW, I finally got my grubby little hands on The Deathly Hallows. All I'm gonna say is "LOVED IT!!".)
