You know what I like!

Margaret sent me a wonderful package from Switzerland for my birthday!

She was in New Zealand when my birthday "happened"... so my package just arrived...

but you know how great it is to continue to celebrate for weeks afterwards!

I love those sweeeeeet monograms above.

And they are in the most wonderful little envie!

You know I'll be tracing that off and making my own!

She assured me she did not embellish the ribbon with feathers.... came that way!

Margaret knows what I like!

Just as everyone that reads my blog knows what I like...

Doncha love that?

We could shop for each other endlessly!

Send me stuff!

Birthdays for little sisters

My little sister had a big birthday last week.....

She thinks she's old!

I should be so young!

Of course I had to MAKE something to commemorate the day!

Something with the NUMBER on it!

I knew when I was in Omaha at Silver Bella that

I was going home and make this for her....

I had already made the sewing machine cover.... I left some of the embellishing

up to her since she is a quilter! We'll see what she does!

All the crocheted flowers and trim were

done by our Mother. We lost her in 2003.

I cut up an old doily and edged the machine cover with it.

Some of the buttons and "stuff" are from her button box

and the pink felted wool bird is from an old family blanket.

Happy Birthday to Fonda!
