Another birthday...

...this time it's my daughters 3rd birthday and we celebrated all weekend. The big family party on Saturday and just us on Sunday. She absolutely loved her Cinderella cake! It was so fun to decorate it, I did pretty good I think for my first "real" decorating job.

It was a hot sunny day so we spent the afternoon in the pool, Katya's favorite thing to do in the summer! She opened her presents throughout the day, all were a huge hit...kitchen play things to go with her new kitchen (that isn't here yet!) from Mommy and Daddy and her own glass slippers just like Cinderella!

Today we sang Happy Birthday to her throughout the day and played all day with her new kitchen toys, making and eating pizza and cookies, noodles and soup! What a blast it will be when the kitchen arrives! She's gonna love it!!
As my little Cinderella was falling asleep in my arms tonight she wrapped one arm around my neck and said: "You are my best friend." She's only 3....sweet dreams my sweetheart.

...today in my shop.

It is my birthday today and it began this morning at 3:30 when my son decided he wasn't tired anymore and climbed out of bed, totted into the living room and began to play. Huh! It's 3:30! After about an hour my daughter woke up, oh great because when they are both awake, they play off each other and we might as well get up, it's no use trying! So, around 5 David fell back to sleep and then Katya and I fell asleep to Fox and the Hound...David awoke again at 8 and we all fell back to sleep until 10! Way to late, we were suppose to be at the water park by then! Needless to say our plans have changed for the day!

When I got up I found this lovely bouquet of roses on the table from my husband, he brought them home from work after I was in bed sleeping. 40 roses! Wow! I don't even have a vase that will hold that many, thus the water pitcher!

Katya and I made her birthday cake (her 3rd birthday is on Sunday), she loves making, well eating cake! It's going to be a Cinderella cake so I had to bake it in a bowl, I just took it out of the oven, it's a bit cracked, but I think it will work -- I hope!

While the cake was in the oven I did a little dyeing! I couldn't not do some today on my birthday, one of my favorite things to do and I've been wanting to do this color combo for a while now! Great shades of green, turquoise and blue! I love it so far, it's steaming now!

I even got in some re-skeining while David took a nap for my updates next week to the shop! I've got some beauties to add! Next up in the dye pot I'll working on the July colorway contest, I'm so excited to do it!!

We topped the day off with a night out on the town...family style! We had some fun at the mall on the carousel and then went out to eat at Red Lobster, I was thirsty for an Alota Colada! (pina colada, but bigger and with a shot of Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum..YUM! YUM!
