Friends and Family

Today, my sister came down to celebrate her birthday. (Which made the entire day feel like Sunday, but that’s okay! Yesterday felt like Saturday, anyway.)

We surprised her by having one of her dearest friends come, too. Just in time, too, since they’re moving to Oregon in a couple of weeks.

And, she liked the shawl!

Because, um, my Fountain Pen Shawl? It was a birthday gift for her–not that she knew that! When I showed it to her a week or so ago, she said, “It’s greener than I thought” and left me worrying that it was TOO green, or that she didn’t like the color … because, well, it was going to be hers. Not that she knew it at the time–which just made it that much more fun.
