I just had to share some birthday goodies.
My brother does woodworking as a hobby so
at Christmas I asked if he thought he could
make a hornbook. I hadn't thought about
it again so I was so surprised and
happy to receive these today.
Oak hornbooks
Now I have to figure out if I have something
stitched for finishing. If not, then I will
just have to stitch something.
I have a feeling he is going to be sorry he
did this... goodness knows what I will
have him making for me next!

I had the chance to spend the birthday with
my mom and she was sweet enough to get
me a cake. I thought the flowers were so
pretty so I took a pic. It was yummy too!
And... she sent me this flower gift known as
"Queen Bee"
which is now decorating my cubicle.
I topped it all with a little cross stitch retail
therapy but it is now back to reality.

Thanks for all your sweet comments on my
sewing box. It was a lot of fun to do and
I can't wait to finish another one. I have a
feeling I will have one in every room
of the house before too long!
I am now off to stitch! Hope you have a
great week with many happy stitches!
Happy Birthday Karen! I love the hornbooks and am really looking forward to seeing what you do with them. I have a feeling it's going to be something fabulous!
