It's My Party

This weekend DH threw a birthday party for me.  My birthday wasn't until today the 26th, and it was a milestone birthday!  The MIL, Aunt Jennie, the oldest daughter and SIL and their 2 daughters, and the youngest daughter and her 4 children came to help celebrate! 

DH was forbidden from black balloons, any types of signs mentioning my age.  How did he handle this?  The birthday cake he ordered said Happy 49th Birthday +1.  Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of it before it was cut. 

I received many lovely gifts including these two mug rugs/pot holders from my mother which she made.  I know it is silly but I love home made gifts!


I also received a couple of gift certificates, a couple of quilting magazines, special cards made by the kids too.

I want to make a Swoon quilt  very girly with pinks, roses, whites, aqua.  I have been collecting bits and pieces.  I think I need some solids to match, I already have my background which is my one of my favorites a white on white polka dot.

I ordered this yummy strawberry and gingham from an Etsy shop from Japan.  Love!

I had to work a double today early morning, then an overnight. BLECH!  No date out with DH for me.  (Big sad face).  I have a couple of more crazy schedule days which translates to late night or overnight.  Before I get to have a dinner out with the love of my life which is not pizza!
