Today on my birthday I decided to splurge on some great gifts for myself.  I love birthdays especially when they are mine!!  So what did I get … 1.  Navy blue / madras plaid Tretorn sneakers from Eddie Bauer.  It was love at first site.  I’m mean seriously, what’s not to love .. Navy blue, madras plaid, Tretorn, sneakers … I have such a weakness for sneakers especially preppy ones! 2.  Cherry Me demi apron from The Hip Hostess.  I have had my eye on this apron for a long, long time.  When she tweeted a 20% off coupon code today, I had to jump on it.  Now, do I take up cooking or just walk around the house looking cute?  I’m thinking continue letting the hubby do all the cooking and I’ll just stand around looking super cute! 3.  Sigh … I stopped by the nursery today to get the plants listed and they were CLOSED.  How dare they be closed on my birthday when I desperately want some new plants?! Oh-well, I shall get the plants tomorrow. 4.  Gauzy-cotton fabric to make the Shearwater Kaftan from Make It Perfect.  I love this pattern and actually have the fabric they used for the cover shot but it’s really, expensive fabric and I don’t want to mess up on it.  So while I was out today, I find this super cute airy fabric from Hancock’s that I shall use first. 5.  Madras plaid fabric to make the Burda 7517 pattern that I saw featured on a blog earlier this month.  I also have some red and white plaid seersucker fabric to use as well.  I love the pattern so much why not have two dresses using it?! 6.  Craft books … my new weakness!  I intended on buying just one book, Martha Stewart’s Encyclopedia of Sewing and Fabric Crafts and ended up buying 6 .. 3 of which haven’t even been released yet.  I told you I have a new weakness! 7.  A large, White Russian, frozen daiquiri … YUM!  It’s summertime, it’s my birthday, I’ve been sick all weekend so why not!
