Birthday Blessings

John and I get to be 46 today. We share the same birthday. Not only that but the same ideas, the same pleasures and the same sense of purpose. We both are passionate about what we do and and love every minute we spend on and off the court. It's great to share a birthday with the most important person in your world. He'll hate this post --but doesn't read my blog much, so I think I can get away with this.

We are so lucky to have someone come over and cook dinner for us tonight. JP cooked an amazing dinner for me when John was in Istanbul and now he'll get a chance to see what he missed. The evening will be quiet, but of course my day is less quiet as I have to clear enough space for this awesome, soon to be prepared dinner.

I'll get to finish my felting and spinning today, tidy up and enjoy "being" 46. It's not so hard, I am only slightly more rumpled, enriched and damn thrilled to still be designing and knitting for a living. What other birthday gift would I need?

Except maybe for this fantasy yarn dress. Too much for dinner?
