My birthday week.....

Hello lovely bloggers,

Well, this has been a busy week for me as it was my birthday on Tuesday (11th October).  But my birthday started early on Saturday with a birthday lunch with a GF whose birthday is the day after mine.

Then it continued on Tuesday with lots of phone calls, texts, email, Facebook and blogging Happy Birthday messages.  So, I would like to say a big thank you to everyone for your kind wishes.  We had a lovely family dinner at my favourite Spanish restaurant in Fitzroy. Then on Thursday there was a work birthday lunch at a great Japanese restaurant in Port Melbourne.

I was lucky enough to be given some lovely gifts, too.  So, thank you to everyone for the thoughtful presents.

Unfortunately now, I have come down with the cold/flu bug which has been going through the office.  It started off with a sore throat and runny nose but now I am all stuffed up and it has moved down to my chest and I can hardly breathe!  Yuk! Off to the doctor this afternoon to get some antibiotics!

Anyway I have managed to get some stitching done on Isabella's Garden and Christmas Eve Couriers this week and you can see my progress photos below. I have also included photos of my stitching chair  and, of course, a photo of my darling Furio.
Start of the week

 Well, that is all for me today as I want to do some stitching - get an early start on IHSW - and check out some blogs.

Well, this week

Thank you for showing your stitching chair. You have actually given me a good idea. I see your lamp is sitting on top of something to give it more height. That is my exact problem. I like your style of lamp. I want something that will work but not be too big.
