December

It's been quite a while since I've posted. It's been a busy month.

My birthday was quiet. We had cake at work (we do that for everyone in our group). It was delicious - choclate with raspberry mousse filling. Then Tom and I went out to Tuscan's Grill. I had prime rib - my fave.

Christmas was great. We spent Christmas eve at Tom's brother's house. Had a nice time there. We went to my parents' on Christmas day. It comes and goes so quickly.

Tomorrow is Tom's birthday. We're going to Aromi d'Italia with his youngest son. On New Year's Eve, we going to Tosca Grille.

On New Year's Day, we're going on a diet. lol

Secret Pal 11 - Reveal


I received a wonderful reveal package from my secret pal this week. I won't mention her name here to protect her privacy but her blog is titled Needleplay. I look forward to getting to know her. She has been a fabulous secret pal and has not only been very generous in but has also been spot on about what she has sent me. This package included a beautiful picture frame, a great bag that fits my current project perfectly, some very nice body butter (this stuff works really well - I've been using it every day), a skein of cashmere and silk fingering-weight yarn (that she dyed herself) and a skein of mohair and wool yarn from Fiesta Yarns. Both skeins are fabulous! They are very soft and I love the colors. I'm very impressed her talent in the dyeing of the fingering yarn. Very beautiful. The picture does not do it justice. Thank you so much, secret pal!
