Happy Birthday to me!!!

Well, 33 dawned with quilt related pressies from DH - Block base and Stash Fall '04!!! Both got ordered only yesterday, so I have to wait (rats!) but I am very excited - the two big weaknesses I saw in the EQ5 software should be sorted by these two products, so I am VERY happy!

Not really feeling like sewing though - that binding foot just is NOT working for me, and I am realizing that I am going to need to use better quality thread to free-motion quilt with it, as it has been ravelling my other generic threads... NOT what I was hoping for! I think this entire industry is determined to make me spend even *more* money on my work than heretofore. If I had known about this conspiracy, I might not have tried to make all these technological (software and sewing machine) jumps!!! Or at least not all at the same time!!! Sigh...

Anyway, I am *delighted* that my family is so supportive of my work. THAT I will NEVER complain about! On a different note however, DH is in deep #*$#!!!! He had the audacity to put ALL 33 candles on my cake, and it was a little one, so it looks like a *bonfire* in my picture!!! (I will get my revenge - *his* birthday is next month! >:)
