35 and counting
Today I turn 35. I keep thinking at some point I'm going to hit an age where I'll start to feel old. Hasn't happened yet. As I get older I feel more comfortable and confident in who I am. I love this feeling. Birthdays? Bring em on!
I was a very lucky girl this year.
I've been frustrated lately with the type of pictures I've able to take with my camera. This little guy
Then, I finally got Favorite socks
And then, a few etsy gems.
The yarn is this really beautiful, mottled, handdyed by Spindlecatstudio. It's so soft that I'm considering a scarf rather than socks. I'm not sure I want to stuff this yarn into my shoes!
And finally, a set of danglefree stitch markers and danglefree row markers from entrelac at etsy. These were recommended by Kristy and they're great. Light, compact, and burr-free.
The weather is terrible. Lots of rain and wind. Sounds like the perfect excuse for a day spent knitting in the house.
And then there's talk of a lemon cake making its way here this afternoon with a special little man.
Happy, happy birthday!!!
Happy, happy birthday! You will love your new Canon. I have the XTi version and I'm only now starting to get the hang of it. Let me know if you need any pointers for lenses, books, forums, etc.
Fun birthday gifts! You're going to have a great time with them all. I have the same camera and it takes great pictures.
Happy Birthday and hope you have many more!

Lemon cake? That special little guy is also very smart!
I always think of that blanket when I am working on one of my very simple ones (like right now). You did an amazing job.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I agree that things only get better as we age. Except my underarm flab. That does not improve.
I love your swag. Have a great rainy day.
happy birthday! even though the weather is yucky, i think it does warrant snuggling up on the couch with some lovely yarn and knitting all day!
Happy Birthday! Looks like you are having a perfect day.
