Happy Birthday...............

......... to Me and Chatterbox.

It's our birthday today, Chatterbox is 8 and I am a few years older than that.

I have had some lovely pressies, including subscriptions to 2 quilting magazines, a gift voucher for to buy some books for my iPod, some money, which is burning a hole in my pocket, and this beautiful journal with a quilted cover from my friend Bilbo.  She knows me so well, it is in a lovely mellow yellow fabric, and she has quilted my favourite feathers on it. Note: here is the photo I promised:  
Another note:  Bilbo has sent me much better photos so I've put these in instead.  She did also point out in passing, that I had shown the back.  Well, in my defence I would say that was cos my photo of the front was not very good.  As for opening it up, well, I never thought of that.  Duh!!!!
The weather is horribly grey and icy today.  Just the day to curl up with my new quilt magazines this afternoon, and this evening Chatterbox is bringing his family round, and on the way they will be picking up his favourite meal of fish and chips for us all.  I'm looking forward to that.

  9. Many happy returns of the day to you and Chatterbox! You have some lovely presents including that beautiful journal - and I recognised the style as being Bilbo's before I read the text.

    Fish and chips - perfect for a day like today, or steak & kidney suet pud which I have lined up for tonight - yum yum!
