Yup, it's my birthday. And it's my seventieth one. Goodness Gracious, I am old.
I thought about just letting it go by without mention, but I couldn't. Actually, I feel very blessed to get here; I've lost so many dear friends who didn't. It's like every minute henceforth is a gift, whether I'm here for 15 more minutes or 15 more years. And I'm looking forward to more adventures, even if my wonky knees and bad back don't allow me to bustle around as I once did!
Those adventures will include needlework, of course, especially since a lovely package from the UK came just in time for my birthday.
The Pekok Glove from Jenny Adin-Christie arrived. I have been eagerly anticipating this project since I saw some of Jenny's sketches and first stitches on Facebook and Instagram--and finally, the kits were available.
Opening one of Jenny's kits is like a birthday and Christmas all together:
Ann, wishing you a very happy 70th birthday....I welcome you officially to the club!!! After one week, I'm not finding it that bad...it's just a number. I hear 70 is the new 50..that's my story and I'm sticking with it! Hope you have a great day!
ReplyDeletePS What a fabulous project!!!
Happy birthday, Ann! What a lovely project!

ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteHappy Seventieth Year! That's how I am thinking of it since turning 70 in October. And yes, while the bones ache more and the fingers become more difficult to work with, each morning feels glorious! I look forward to seeing this glove next year, Enjoy and have a wonderful Christmas!
ReplyDeleteA belated happy birthday, Ann! I think turning 70 calls for a yearlong celebration.
