happy birthday to me

Well, you'd think an old girl like me would quit having birthdays, but I decided to keep having them till I got a pair of socks knitted by my pal and knitting companion,

Debby.

i know.  how special.

And there are only so many ways you can model socks. But, that didn't keep me from taking about fifteen pictures of the socks on my feet.  But I will spare you and only post a few.

Above is the shy sock pose.

This is the lazy sock pose.

The single sock pose. 
 (just like they come out of the dryer)

I know you will not be surprised when I get that call from Project Runway. 

Heidi Klum and Tyra Banks will be knocking on Debby's door

begging for a pair of these to wear in the Victoria Secret fashion show.
Can you see it?  Walking on the runway in nothing but socks and wings?

OH WAIT!

I almost forgot this is really supposed to be a quilting blog,
which brings me to my next special gift from my other pal and knitting buddy, Patty.  
 

Lovely quilty coasters. 

I will now be able to serve drinks in my studio. 
wearing my socks.
