Downton Abbey and Crafts Night

I just wanted to post a quick update before I start my Downton Abbey, season 2 marathon. :)

On Sunday, Chris and I went to see Cirque Du Soleil's Totem in Boston. Chris bought tickets to celebrate my birthday and it was opening night. It was my first time seeing a Cirque show live... yay! While there I got to show off my new tote that I made a few hours before we left the house.

New tote bag I made that day.

 Today I got my zippers in the mail! I ordered 100 assorted 7" zippers. I plan on making a lot of bags and skirts with these babies. Can't wait. Look at the pretty colors!

Zippers from Zip It's Etsy shop.

As for tonight, I will be relaxing in front of the tv with my knitting and crocheting books I borrowed from the library yesterday. I might even knit or crochet. Wait and see!

My reading list and movie for the night.

Birthday!

My birthday was on Thursday, May 17. I want to thank my family and friends for all the love they showed me on my birthday and throughout the year. A co-worker bought breakfast for me, not knowing it was my birthday. My friends at work took me out to lunch at Samba in Framingham for sushi. My mom and sister sent me lovely cards that brought tears in my eyes. Those card writers definitely know how to stir up my emotions. (My family definitely knows how to pick out cards.) My neighbor, Milton, who's like a dad to me, sent me flowers. My fiance, C, bought us tickets to see Cirque du Soleil's Totem in Boston. His card is so true, too. Best day ever!

Love,
Patti
