Birthday wishes come true

If any of you read my posts often, you know that I have been craving some older collections of Tula Pink:)  Satisfied that!!!

 Some of these, also on my list-----check!!

 Comfy,cozy:P

A few days before my Birthday I received a package from UPS that MY sweetie told me would be coming and that  I would have to sign for it---my brain was in full gear at that point-----WHAT IS IT?!

Waited for that UPS guy until 5PM, signed for it and brought into the kitchen--heart pounding.  Slowly open the small box---hmmm what COULD IT BE?!  

Kay Jewelers appeared on a flier inside---wh----atttttttttttt IS it???????????

The blue print is a hint:)

This is IT!!!!!!

 Sapphires and diamonds--chaaaaching!!!!!  Need some insurance people!  

 The hubby has EXCELLENT TASTE IF I do say so myself--and I called him right away of course to thank him and he asked me if I liked it----OF COURSE!!!!!  Awesome!!!!  You rock BABY!!!


  If that wasn't awesome enough, this year my Birthday was on Black Friday---hmmm, well, I could look at that in a bad way or a good one.

 I chose to work it to my benefit---he,he: )

Woke up early, AND I mean as early as 5AM and headed over to Joann's AND then again today at around 6:30AM!  Ayden slept over at a friend's the first day and today I bought him breakfast for coming along!

PICKED UP:

Thread was $40 with gift card and 20% off     say WHAT!!!!!

Cutting table $60!!!!!!  It's all assembled and ready to be broken in--Ayden helped his momma;)

I'm in heaven (sing along!!)

Afterward it was onto Toys R Us for Ayden's presents--tis the season of course.  Got some great deals there as well.  The little guy will be very pleased.  I also scored some great outfits that were marked down and the cutest sleeper ever:)


Later, I drove my friend, Steph's car back to her house, I used it for the big stuff I purchased and helped her get ready for her trip.  

Finally we ate some Birthday pizza and then Steph and her family wished me a Happy Birthday with a molten cake and a candle on top---love ya Steph!!!!!  She brought me upstairs  to pick out some fabric from her stash too!!!! (definitely doing that for her Birthday in Feb;)

COULDN'T HAVE ASKED FOR A BETTER BIRTHDAY!!!!!  Turning 30 isn't so bad after all---I just divulged my age---yikes---not a bad feeling either.

OK well this old fart has to hit the hay now because I am pooped just talking about all that!!! 

Love ya'll,

Sara

I am Free to Roam

Free from spending money???  NAH!  Free from spending a lot?  YES!  

With gift card in hand, I went to Joann's the other day and bought up some needed notions,embroidery thread and fabric.

The orange and green is to finish up the sashing and border for Sherbet top.  Kona Surf and Midnight and some Kona coal are for a special somebody from Sue's shop.  Simply Solid Fabric is an amazing shop online that will customize your Kona order to whatever specifications 
 you give her---how GREAT is that folks!!  She labels each piece of fabric with the color as well!!!  Lovin' it!!!!

Back to Joann's purchases now, I also found this very,very cute birdcage patterned fabric for $2 off a yd so it was $6 a yd!!  Snatched up some of this eye candy right away.

See all the little birdies in the cages?  Click on the pic to see them clearer maybe.


Onto some variegated perle cotton thread for a secret project for a friend's Christmas gift.  These are soooo pretty:)

Just looking at them is satisfying for me at this point.  They may be my new favorites when it comes to thread shopping.  Texture really comes to life when using these babies!!

There has been a sale going on at a local quilt shop that has since closed as of yesterday evening, very sad to see a shop go like that as we all know.

On a brighter note, the owner was able to sell everything off with the exception of a few small things.  Yeay!!   Of course I contributed to some of that!  I bought some fat quarters awhile back from them and yesterday I ran over there the last hour before they shut the doors and bought up a bolt of interfacing for 70 cents a yd, the rest of a  bolt of a green and white floral print for $2 a yd and the remaining 4 or 5 yds of a gray/black floral print fabric for $2 a yd. 

THE best purchase decision I made though was to marry this man.  Congratualtions baby on your promotion to Warrant Officer for the Army!!!!  It was a true blessing to be there for your graduation:)

                                                           WE LOVE YOU! 


Enjoy your Sunday and each other slowly,

Sara
