Birthday Presents

For my birthday (last Friday, in case you were wondering :p) this year I asked for mainly sewing supplies, so I was very pleased when that is what I got.  :)  My sister Elise - who has her own blog (yes, I purposely linked to the post I'm in :D) - got me a sleeve ironing board, and my sister Gretchen - who does not have a blog but we still love her anyway* - got me two pairs of spring-loaded scissors!  I only asked for one pair, but she found a great set with a bonus super-sharp pointed snipper.  I'm sure that's the technical term, anyway.  Someday I'm going to do a post all about the myriad pairs of scissors I own.

I already owned the mini-iron; I just think it looks cute with the tiny ironing board!

*Gretchen does have her own imdb.com page, so she kind of wins.

I also got flowers and chocolates from my boyfriend, which is not sewing-related at all.  I just like to brag.  :p

Happy Birthday to me!  

I spent my entire birthday sewing, as I had a ball to attend the following evening, but it was sewing for me, which makes it fun.  :)  And the ticket to the ball was my birthday present to myself.
