Happy Birthday Sweet Mimi!

Happy 2nd Birthday to my gorgeous little Mimi. You are an independent, happy, strong-willed, smart little girl with a gorgeous, caring and friendly personality. I love you so much Mali Maris and you have brought so much joy to my life in the last 2 years. I can honestly say that you rescued me.
Love Mummy xx

Happy Birthday to Me!

I had a lovely birthday on Sunday- 35 Yikes, I feel bloody ancient.

I received a bunch of lovely parcels as part of the EB Quilters Fat Quarter Birthday Swap, as pictured below. My theme wa sneutrals and browns as I am hoping to make a coffees and cream themed quilt at some stage (was thinking a snails trail pattern, but haven't decided yet). I feel so lucky to have great crafty friends whom I have never even met (except for Kylie who used to live in Canberra too). Needless to say I have been doing lots of fabric fondling and I love them all!

The fat 1/4s all piled together
Mum and Dad dropped in (they live 3 1/2 hours away, not like they live around the corner!) with a mud cake and some flowers. I have a trip to solar springs planned, so they gave me some $ to put towards some treatments!! I think that since I have been a single parent, Mum and Dad have made an extra special effort on my birthday to make me feel special - don't you love parents? Mine are the best.
