It was my Birthday

My Birthday was last Friday. I turned 24. I had a great day. The boyfriend took me out to breakfast first. Its a little tradition with us to go to this one diner out here, called The Cracked Egg.

I love the food.

After breakfast we went out to an estate sale. He actually TOOK ME TO AN ESTATE SALE. He hates estate sales/thrift stores. He'll only takes me on my birthday.

Anyway. Onto the awesome score!

I picked this little guy up.

I needed to take this home. Needed to.

As soon at I spotted this I knew it had to be mine. I got that 'you complete me' feeling. 

 I also picked up this little family of owls.

They're just cut out and then glued onto some card -stock.

When I say, card-stock I'm not kidding.

I loved the little cards. I turned them over and it was fate.

Here's a close up.

I also picked up 2 dresser clothes.

One with various fruits.

The other with a billion french knots.

I also picked up a floss organizer and some Aida cloth.

When we got home I made my cake. I went for a low-carb Boston Creme Pie.

Lesson learned. Make a cake the day before.

Mine didn't look that awesome.

But it tasted delicious.

A very awesome start to another year!

FO Fridays: Mommy's Sweater and a birthday

I set a goal for myself, I wanted to finished my Mom's cardigan before October.

I finished it on September 29th. YAY!

This is pre-blocked straight off the needles.

I still need to pick up some buttons for it. 

Here's a more detailed photo of the cables. The cabling work is really pretty, but the yarn is a dark charcoal.

It's what my mom requested though.

In other news, Friday was my BIRTHDAY.

The boyfriend took me out for breakfast (yummy), then to an estate sale. I picked up a couple of awesome things. I plan on posting in a couple of days. He also picked up a bunch of double edge razor blades, circa 1970s. He paid .50 for each pack.
He's happy.

I made myself a Low-Carb Boston cream pie.
Note to self: make cake the day before.
