I made it to 26!
I had a wonderful day on the 26th. I forget the name of this phenomenon of your age matching the date of your birthday, but supposedly it is lucky! Here's hoping!


(Here's Ma and I, approx. 25 years ago. Nice bonnet!)
I spent much time scanning old family photos, and being a nostalgic, and enjoying the Fall light through the trees in the valley where I was raised. Swoon.

Hey, many hugs and well wishes to you, even if they are slightly belated. We can always blame it on the time difference...even though I'm earlier than you are...quiet logic!

Still, awww you're so adorable in your bonnet!That red bit looks like a strawberry, and the checks remind me of basket weaving, so it's like a punnet bonnet! Hee.

Hope your matching birthdate and age year will be a lovely one!

Thank you! I am totally proud to have a mother who dressed me almost entirely in clothes made by my grandmothers', and therefore made me look very hardcore whimsical (my style actually hasn't changed much!). I don't know what a punnet is:(
I understand about the time difference. My boyfriend is working in Antarctica right now (!), and I always say, "How's the future going to be?" when I talk to him.

How awesome! Handmade clothes are beautiful, whether it be for babies or adults. You're grandma must have been really handy with a sewing machine, I envy her that. Hand stitches are the only thing I can do, I get scared that the machine will go too fast and it will eat the fabric.

I think punnets are small baskets usually for strawberries or berries in general. I could be making this up though, I tend to do that now that my vocab's slipping in the summer heat.

Antactica! Wow! I think you told me this before and I never asked you what it is that he does there. Is he a brave and fearless explorer fighting the winds and cruel tempests of Nature? Or maybe a scientist? Or maybe a penguin impersonater who takes his job really seriously and needs to do some method research?

I honestly didn't realize that all my really splendid crafty...dare I say "folky" baby clothes were made by my Grandmas' until this weekend when I had a conversation with my mom about how many ruling pairs of overalls I had as a babe! I thankfully follow in their footsteps and am pretty handy with hand-sewing and machine. (I am scared to take my handmade clothes to a laundrymat though, for fear they will dissolve!)
My boy if fearless, I guess, but not an explorer or a scientist or a penguin impersonater...he is fixing computer systems for scientists and the settlement of folks down there that support the scientists! So he is an IT person, who carries cables around. If you are interested, his blog is Winter Camp. You can see how he is doing on the beard contest (much to my chagrin!)

Haha, overalls! May they never grace adult bodies again. But oooh, you make handmade clothes? You must let us see them sometime! A small sample perhaps? I'm sure they're really lovely. And le sigh, you can actually sew. Now with all you artsiness, why isn't that surprising?
*simmers gently for 40 minutes in a pot of ENVY*

May I offer you sympathies about the beard? And a year's supply of this handy rash-soothing facial cream? That or some anaesthesia for when you shave it all off in a fit of frustration without his knowledge? ;)

Does his IT job usually take him to places so exotic? It's pretty unique and cool [oh HA. it wasn't planned I swear!] that he gets to go to one of the most remote places on the planet!

I think that your age matching your birth date is called a golden birthday.
