Isn’t it wonderful that finally the ice is beginning to melt? \u00a0 If it just didn’t get on where one has to drive and walk, it would be pretty. \u00a0We had some amazing icicles on and around our house this week.<\/p>\n

We watched this one icicle grow from just a few inches until it was the full length of our window.<\/p>\n

Remember the ice tree I told you about a few posts back? \u00a0Well, we could have started our own mini ice bush right in our yard. \u00a0I was going to throw some food coloring on this, but didn’t get it done before it started to melt.<\/p>\n

My birthday was this week. \u00a0I wanted to keep it low key. \u00a0Well, as low key as I am able. \u00a0David gave me some of my favorite perfume. \u00a0His mother gave me a used bottle of this perfume many years ago and every time I wore it, someone would mention how good it smelled. \u00a0I used that bottle until the last drop and then got another one and used it forever, it seems. \u00a0I was using the fumes off it and wanted another bottle. \u00a0It’s kind of pricey so it’s not something I just go out and buy at a whim. So when David gave it to me, I was thrilled. \u00a0The bottle has been changed and I think it is so pretty.<\/p>\n

I will use this until I am just using the fumes again. \u00a0Thank you, David. \u00a0I love it.<\/p>\n

I also bought some new clothes, two Yankee candles, and of course, fabric for my birthday. \u00a0At least I used that for the excuse to buy them. \u00a0I got a Rose and a Vanilla Cupcake candles. \u00a0The Vanilla Cupcake smells good even when it isn’t burning.<\/p>\n

We had already made our purchase at the Yankee Candle store and were leaving when my eye was caught by this cute sight. \u00a0A bunny and a baby chick in a basket that held tea lights. \u00a0Well, impulse buyer that I am, I bought it to add to my rabbit and chicken collection. Two birds with one stone. A good thing I always say.<\/p>\n

I finished the ironing board cover for my little ironing board. \u00a0I like to think my daddy would like to see it.<\/p>\n

It’s a mini log cabin quilt design. \u00a0I think it turned out so cute.<\/p>\n

Now, for those with delicate sensibilities, I am going to show something which you might not want to see. \u00a0Consider this a warning. Do not read any further if you are easily offended. \u00a0WARNING ALERT!!!<\/p>\n

I have a thermal shirt that I wear with pajama pants to bed. \u00a0It got a hole in a strategic place, if you know what I mean.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0543\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Since I like this shirt and wanted to keep wearing it, I had to cover the hole with something. \u00a0What to do? \u00a0What to do? \u00a0Then I came up with this(what I thought) was a great idea.<\/p>\n

Since I am becoming the egg lady, why not use something to do with that? \u00a0Huh?<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0545\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is what I came up with and it covered the hole\u00a0nicely, but it didn’t look right all by itself. \u00a0So………<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0544\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ta-Dah!! \u00a0 What do you think? \u00a0If you have read this far, you are not allowed to be offended. \u00a0I warned you. \u00a0I cannot wait to wear this. \u00a0Of course, I would never wear this in public. \u00a0Would I???? \u00a0Nope, isn’t going to happen.<\/p>\n

Here’s to icicles, birthdays and fried eggs. \u00a0Bye.<\/p>\n
