And, as it turns out....

I'm finally catching up on everyone's blogs, and of course, I managed to miss Marie's birthday. Hers was the 21st. She was, um, not 30. Go and check out the lovely pictures of her son and daughter-in-law's wedding, and her three other gorgeous children (her girls look positively stunning in the bridesmaids' dresses, with the flowers and the jewelry and the wraps that all coordinated...way to go, Claire).

Happy belated birthday, Marie. Hope the year gets progressively better and that the ceiling stops falling in on you!

Whew! What a day for birthdays!

Also of note in the blogosphere - go check out the handspun Charlie yarn over on The Daily Coyote. It's completely gorgeous. Makes me want to make a Maggie sweater....

STOP THE PRESSES!!!

So...I'm posting my previous post...and I think, hmm, it's almost September, what is today, anyway? It's the twenty-sev.....wait....ohhhhhhhh, bad Kate.....

My dear and darling friend Bianca has been thirty for a WEEK now. A week!!!!! And I...well, I'll be honest, I didn't forget your birthday, but I kind of forgot what day it was.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEI!!!!!!

Hope it was awesome. I'm sorry I missed it. Among other things I miss?? You!!!

(Bianca likes orange and green. It's the least I could do.)
