Another Year Older!

Yes, that is me. Another year older and wiser I hope. It is my birthday today and I have turned 53. I know some women don't like to tell their age but we all get older so why be afraid of telling. I thought I would show you what some special people sent me for this special day in my life.

My mom sent me this wall hanging she made using some preprinted fabric that speaks of daughters. She thinks she got the fabric when she went to the Houston Quilt Show. Check out the border fabric. It has little fairies on it. Thanks mom.

Stephanie over at Loft Creations sent me this sweet package.
Inside this lovely kitchen towel...
was a baggie filled with these buckles and these very cute blue buttons and a wooden Bingo game marker... (sorry blogger flipped it)
and these wooden spools. She knows how I buy them up every time I see them at antique stores.
She also made me one of her crochet dish rags that match my kitchen. Check out the sweet bluebird stamp. A friend of Stephanie's makes homemade soap which she also sent. The soap smells like almonds. Thank you so much for the very thoughtful gifts, Stephanie. You make me feel very special.
Mary of Quilt Hollow send this very special card that speaks of fabric and patchwork. Very sweet! Thanks for remembering my birthday, Mary.

As I sit here writing this post I am sitting at my table by the sliding glass door watching big snowflakes falling from the gray skies. It is not supposed to accumulate and I hope it doesn't because my applique bee is supposed to meet tomorrow.

If it is your birthday today I hope it is a good one for you too.

With Passion,

Carrie P.
