It’s All About Family

110908_0015 First things first–who wants cake?

110908_0025 Are you sure? It was pretty tasty.

110908_0027 Maybe some coffee?

110908_0032 Mom even gave away some family crystal to my sister and brother-in-law for their 20th anniversary (on Wednesday). Mom used this as a candy dish when she was pregnant with my sister, and went through lots of sourballs to keep her stomach under control, so she figured my sister would appreciate this.

(And, naturally, Mom and my sister were taking pictures, too–I just don’t have a PICTURE of them taking pictures…)

110908_JB_0041 110908_0008 My niece also brought her sketch book from one of her drawing classes … wow, she’s talented. Her life-model sketches are fabulous, and how about this stripy self-portrait? Does anybody else look at that and think how nifty that would look in knitting?

No? Just me?

    Fun day! I’ll take some cake, if there’s any left. And normally clowns creep me out, but that little guy on your cake is cute!

    Happy Birthday! The stripe portrait would indeed be nifty in knitting. One could do it in tweed to emphasize the difference in media or in Noro-esque yarns for a really different look.
