Michael left for golf
on Saturday (2/9) and I spent a good bit of time cleaning. We are having a bunch of people over on
Sunday (mostly his golfing buddies) to celebrate his birthday, and I’m baking
the cake on Sunday, so wanted to get all of the cleaning out of the way. Since I still didn’t know what sewing project
to start, I spent several hours in the afternoon cleaning the
mess-that-is-my-desk! Here’s the floor
before:
I also had a HUGE pile
on the desk itself….more pics on that once I get it fully cleaned off. I got some knitting done on some charity
mittens while we watched TV after dinner.
Happy Birthday to
Michael!!!!!! Yes, Sunday (2/10) was a
GREAT day! We were up early to open
presents…he got some Marvin the Martian golf tees, a new Zentangle book, a 50
year retrospective of The Beach Boys, and a dress watch. I got his regular birthday layer cake done:
and these strawberry
jam mini-turnovers (and one larger peach turnover) that I have been DYING to
make:
aren’t they the cutest
things? I’ve had the turnover makers
forever…just looking for a chance to use them.
I used my own homemade puff pastry for the first time too! I also had a bunch that I froze before baking...so now I can whip them out and have a great dessert in no time at all:
That took all morning…and cleaning up the kitchen
took quite a bit of the afternoon J. We had a quick dinner
and our guests started arriving at 6 for champagne and birthday desserts (I didn't get pics of all....but most!):

I think everyone had a
good time, and they certainly enjoyed the treats! Michael and I watched 3 episodes of ‘our’
show (AS TIME GOES BY) before he pronounced it a wonderful birthday and we
headed off to bed.
