It's my birthday, my b-b-b-BIRTHDAY!
May 09, 2007
Hi All!
I've been off the radar a bit the last couple of weeks - general business has been getting in the way of crafting and blogging! Although, you will be pleased to here that I had enough yarn to finish knitting the sublime sweater, and it's half knitted up already :)
It is my 24th birthday today, and although I've been in work it's been a pretty super day so far! I don't think I've ever had so many messages from friends wishing me a good day, and that's a very nice feeling indeed. I had some awesome presents, the main one being an extremely small and sexy mp3 player from Adam, but also so many crafty presents that I thought you might like to see them!
My parents gave me this outrageously expensive pie mould, it is the same as my Dad's and I've been wanting one for ages. They actually gave it to me a few days early, and I made a practice pie! These were the fillings that I layered up inside:
And here is the pie!
Adam's cousin is a really good crafty lady too, she makes cards for friends and to sell, and she made me this card:
She remembered that I like caterpillars! I was genuinely very touched that she remembered and made me this card xxxxxx
Also my lovely friends Bernard and Caroline got me yarn!
It's gorgeous, what should I make? Any ideas?
Also Adam got me a painting kit from the Tate, I can't show it as I haven't done it yet, but I'm very excited to try painting for the first time since school.
Well, that's it from me today, I promise I will be back in the next couple of days with knitting!

Happy belated birthday!
Love the pic of the pie! Would have loved to have seen a picture of a cross section of the pie once it was cut.
