Saturday morning I went to a baby shower came home & found a surprise awaiting for me!
My friend Jill from Washington surprised me. Festive Birthday flowers with blow horns, and streamers greeted & surprised me. The vase even had painted birthday candles. So pretty, Thank you Jill!
Then the morning of my birthday I waited to open my gift from Lee. Lee made me a gorgeous hand beaded mauve/pink silk dupoini covered box. Oh its so beautiful in person. I tried to get a good photo. The inside is lined with a pretty navy tiny floral print fabric. Love it so much - Thank you Lee!
Thank you Thank you Thank you - Lee!
I had a beautiful birthday. Was spoiled through out the whole day. No cooking for me:)))
With my birthday money I ordered a new chart. I know it was early but Haven and Earth Designs had a sale on their website. I got "Gingerbread House" by Aimee Stewart. I ordered the large print, hard copy, 89 colors (not the one with 236 colors) chart. Now this is my very first HAED.
I have gathered all the threads for page 1 of 120.......YEP! Crazy me!!!!
Here's a close up! HAED "Gingerbread House" by Amiee Stewart
I cannot tell you how much I love this! I have a thing for Gingerbread!
Progress as of Sept 28th
Current progress
Been stitching on the left floral border side working my way down.
Pumpkin display!
Hope you are enjoying October and are stitching lots of pretties! I stitched & mailed off a package to Mouse! It's a square for her 50th memory quilt project. And I did remember to take photos before I wrapped it - LOL! With my love and appreciation - Annette

What a very happy birthday you had, Annette!! Lee's gift is really a stunner! And your Gingerbread House project is amazing, when do you think you'll begin it? I'm not sure I have the guts to even start a project that big and intricate. :D
So glad your birthday was such a special one, Annette! I'm in awe over Lee's creation--just stunning!
Enjoy your new birthday stash--looks like a fun one!
What beautiful flowers! And that box is stunning with all of that gorgeous and tiny work on it!! Wow!
I hope you had a nice birthday! I'm behind in blog-world, so I didn't even know you were going to be a year older! haha It looks like you had a lovely day!
That gingerbread house looks intimidating! However, it will be wonderful when you finish it. You will get it done in no time!!!
Happy birthday Annette! It is tough to top the amazing silk dupoini covered box Lee created. She is such an artist! Your HAE design is going to be a colorful challenge!
Happy belated birthday wishes winging your way, Annette. And wow, such wonerful birthday gifts that you received. That little box from Lee is a real dream and a treasure. And what you bought from your birthday money is so cute. I still have to start my first HAED, everything is kitted up but I'm not so sure about which fabric to take. I still have to ponder about this issue. Just let us know what fabric you use.
