Thanks Sandy - funny that you mention fabric. I just made a flannel pillowcase for my 3-yr old grand niece (cuz she's down with the flu) and a pillow and blankie for her dolly with the same fabric. Believe me I'll not run out of fabric for quite some time. :-)
It will be a few days before I can start my birthday w/in 12 months. First I've decided to celebrate St. Valentine's Day * for me *. Always, I've done stuff for others on Valentines and just this year I am doing me. Ordered a new cd player for my bathroom. Yogi and I like to listen to Willie Nelson while I shampoo and shower. Ordered a new pair of gold earrings; just the kind I always wanted. =) Bought a 8 1/2" square ruler; needed one. Found a place that sells rare live plants; wanted the Christmas ornamental pepper like Daddy used to grow. And, saw a snowman quilt that
*I* need so I started ordering panels and blocks for it. Do you think I'm on a roll? Happy Valentine to me. And you. All. Polly

I had a birthday on Groundhog Day. My husband took me out for lunch at HuHot Mongolian Grill. (Okay, so he wasn't being terribly generous, as my lunch was free, but I don't mind). I also made a trip to my LQS, which offers a 20% birthday discount. I took advantage of the discount and bought fabric for a class I'm taking from Maggie Ball and for a birthday gift for my 2 year old grandson.
DGS loves playing with trucks & cars, so I bought a piece of fabric with roads and construction signs and other stuff on it. I added a border, backed it with red fleece (no batting), and bound it. It was a quick project, but I'm sure he'll enjoy it, either as a play mat with this trucks or as a blanket or most likely as both.
Hope you had a wonderful birthday! Mine is Monday, 2-13, almost a Valentine baby. I am going to a Mexican restaurant a few miles away. Also, I plan to go and sign up for a painting class I've been thinking about. Happy Valentines Day to everyone! Barbara in FL
Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes - we're celebrating by sitting by the big window watching a snowstorm ... and eating pizza. :-) We're warm and have lots of food - what more can a girl ask for?
happy valentines day Miss Polly! i will be honest, and never thought of music in the bathroom...now you have me thinking! i'll be running out for chocolate for the hubby and kids...and oh yeah, for me? i'll put some more towards my bernina-on-layaway. and i'm thinking i might have a use for those supreme slider thingys.
I am in the process of making a tabletop quilt for my DD for her birthday. This quilt will be my first in a quilt & art expo - no judging thank goodness. It's a very plain patterned but vibrant coloured quilt which she wasn't to see till her birthday but I was working on it when she arrived for a visit and I didn't hear her.
Happy Birthday, Barbara......my birthday is Valentine's Day! I don't know what we'll do yet, but I know I'll be bowling that day....like every other Tuesday!
