Well as I am turning 55 in January I have decided to throw a surprise 55th birthday for myself. I will have to organise it myself as no one else will.
I told my daughter that I would have to have the party at her house otherwise I may catch myself planning, cooking, ordering food etc and that would spoil the surprise and I wouldn’t want that.
Expect lots of photos as I franticly try to hide from myself what is happening. LOL
I tried to make a wish list, should someone want to buy me something and I only came up with three items. Gold movie pass, bras or a current photo of the guest to put on my wall of fame.
I could ask for material however I want to use what I have first, well some of it. I am planning to make lots of quilts next year I have decided the whole year is going to be spectacular to make up for the cruddy one this year.
So roll on 2008 so I can start.
I have already started on my To Do List.
1. I will have my Heart Quilt ready to hand quilt at the Perth Retreat in May.
2. I also want to have finished two other WIP quilts.
3. I want to start one other quilt
Who knows there may be more to do? I will just have to wait I guess.
As you can see I have added a countdown Christmas tree and I am now on the look out for a countdown to my Surprise Birthday Party just not sure where to look on the net yet.
I bought a brand new top of the range (well as close to the top as I could afford LOL) ironing board. The one I have DH had when we met 15 years ago and it wobbles all the time. It didn’t matter when I was working as I sent my ironing out and did my material on the bench (I padded it first) however now I no longer have clothes to iron but ironing my material on the kitchen bench kills my back and makes my new knee ache so a new ironing board was needed.
I have pinned the rest of my Hearts together and plan on sewing them today however the morning is gone as DH’s shower lady is due sometime before 12.30. After that though I will be off and running, well running in and out with washing (Mount Washmore is driving me nuts) and I also want to do some housework, yeah I know not really a good idea, however I only do it when I am in the mood or in short 15 minute burst and I haven’t done any all week.
