Happy Birthday To Me

Today is my birthday, and after checking online a billion times this weekend to see when my sewing machine would ship, today it said shipping info was available, so I tracked it and guess what! My sewing machine is out on the UPS truck due to deliver today, on my birthday. I'm so excited to get it.
My husband was not only NOT mad about me getting it, that he even went and ordered me the software so I can download free designs off the internet to embroider and the cassettes for the machine to load them on. And thread! So now I'm just going to be spending my days embroidering everything in our house. :-)
I finished a duvet cover I was making, and it looks like this:



I also made a nightgown for me for summer. I think it turned out pretty. Here it is.



My machine does Disney designs so this new grandbaby is going to be decked out in Mickey and Donald. It's only six more weeks until she'll be here. My daughter keeps dreading the labor part, and wondering what it will be like. I can't help her because I had c-sections and never had labor. But they didn't have epidurals back then, so maybe it would have been worse on me than it will be on her. However, I'd do it for her in a heartbeat if I could. She's my baby, even though she's having a baby of her own. I guess it is always that way, isn't it.
We're not doing anything for my birthday. My husband said to just do something simple for dinner and we'll go out this weekend to a restaurant of my choosing. He has a four day weekend this weekend, since he gets off every other Friday and Monday is Memorial Day.
I was suppose to go to court today with my friend who is getting divorced. They were suppose to go before the judge, and I was going for moral support. Then last night her attorney called and said since they are so close to a meeting of the minds, the judge wants them to see a mediator and not come before her unless that fails. Yes, she's a woman judge and a woman mediator, and my friend's husband doesn't like women who are positions of authority. Is that justice or what. He's already moved in his new girlfriend, and she's 35 and he's 53. He has a daughter just a few years younger, the old coot. Oh well, his grown children are all mad at him, so I guess there will be justice in the end.

Happy Birthday!

That duvet cover is nice. That was the fabrice, right, you didn't embroider all those designs? Otherwise I'll be mightily impressed. I may have to order a duvet cover from you. . .ours is white so you can see ALL the spots where the dog rolls around on it. I'm thinking something brown. . .

Yes, that was the fabric. If that was embroidery, I'd be quite impressed with myself, too! Brown would be much better with doggies...for sure!

I love the duvet cover and the night gown. I want one of each!!

Danged if you aren't handy with a sewing machine. I'm impressed and very glad you are having fun with it. You have to post photos of all your sewing projects.

I'm sorry I missed your birthday. I'm working from sun up, to sun down. I take a dinner and television break and then go back to work. I miss having time to check blogs daily!

Happy Belated Birthday friend of mine.
