It's not that I haven't thought about you...

It's that I have been really, really busy.  As mentioned in the previous post, we had a day at the zoo...

We accidentally interrupted a wedding on the Courthouse lawn in Easton, MD. (Mind you, this is not the first wedding I have interruped accidentally!)
This was just after painting ceramic plates to be gifted to the bride and groom (not those in the picture) and just prior to selecting THE lace edging for the ring bearer pillows.  Yes, there will be two flower girls and two ring bearers, hence the need for two pillows.  I have swatch pics to post but haven't downloaded 'em yet.

 We attended a birthday party at "Jump Zone".
We celebrated Easter - sadly no pictures of the  9-hour family brunch hosted by TBG's family. 

And then, I hurt my back.  I have been drugged and moaning for the last week.  I've had so much to do at the office that I haven't dared to stay home to rest as I should.

Next post I will tell you more about the fab b-day gifts that keep rolling on in...

Yesterday,

in the midst of this my sisters and I tried to take our children here.  Oh, and did I mention that this  is going on as well?  TLG and I did manage to meet up with J1 and the Fairy Princess; sadly, J2 and here crew were in traffic for THREE HOURS before giving up and heading back home.  In a word, the zoo, was in fact a (human) zoo.  A mob scene in fact.  While I thoroughly enjoyed being with my sis and her daughter, I would have been just a happy hanging out at a nice quiet park or playground. 

I did score a few interesting pics and, for your viewing pleasure, will post them laster :)

The secret is out

and it must be true because I read it on the internet!  Today is my *cough44thcough* birthday.

My boys out did themselves with this wonderful-iffic giftie!!!

Now I am off to have a salon pamper that promises to have me looking 10 years younger!  Hope your day is equally as delicious Ms. Moog.

Proving, once again, that

the ZZ Top boys had it right - every girl is crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man:

Easter songs

for my good friend Trashy who is not familiar with this American classic,



And, no Easter Sunday would be complete without Bing singing,

Quick Post

just to let you know we are still here - and still knitting.

Actually doing swatches (I almost NEVER knit swatches - bad girl that I am).  I am working out the best lace for 'round the edges of a super special set of ringbearer pillows.

Also, sweetpotatoe pie(s) being made this evening.

Off to a playdate for TLG - will call again later!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

This one's for you Mom...
