It's my birthday! A day I love.. nothing better than being surrounded by friends and family with cake and presents.
And watercolors.. and strike offs of new fabric.. and chocolate.. and gift cards to my second main man.
So far my birthday has been perfect. Snuggle with the little one in bed this morning, check. Chat on the phone with Sarah, check. (Get to see her again in a few short weeks, hooray!) Thrift store excursion planned for the afternoon, check. Dustin making Uh-mazing chocolate cake, check. Loved ones coming over tonight, check.
All in all, today feels like bright yellow flowers. Which is probably why I painted them. Looking forward to seeing them pop up outside soon-ish.

Happy Birthday to you! What a great day to celebrate! Your yellow flower painting is really beautiful. Looks like you used watercolors on watercolor paper? Makes me anxious for the real ones to pop up soon too. Enjoy your day!

I love how you call it 20+11! I just had my 20+11 a few days ago on the 23rd! Although, today is officially the last day of my birthday month, which is always such a sad time!! :*)

my baby's birthday, too! happy, happy, happy birthday to you and her. if that blue fabric in the background of your lovely watercolor is the strike off of your new fabric line, i am soooo in! what a fabulous blue.
and whata coincidence that i just posted a project with your dreamy meadowsweet 2 fabrics minutes before checking in with you today. those wonderful fabrics are like a gift from you to me. hope you get some hits and sales from my post as my brithday gift to you. =)
