twenty six

Happy Birthday to me!ย 
One year older and wiser (?)…I won’t say anything about how old I’m getting, cause I tend to get a lot of flack whenever I do that. So I guess I’m not that old…but the other side of 25 feels weird.ย 
In honor of my birthday, here are a few things I’m loving right now, just for fun! ๐Ÿ˜‰
The start of our family stockings: Charlotte’s was first cause her name is the longest to embroider. Mine’s next, followed by Sadie and Rory. At least only half of our family have long names! ๐Ÿ˜‰

This little felt flower clip I made the other day. Nothing special, just loving the little leaves. My sister Janae came over to hang out the other night and we made hair clips galore! We had a great time watching music videos on you tube while crafting it up! This one’s my fav right now.

This pile of sweet new fabrics just waiting to be played with! I picked the top one up at Joann’s for 50% off…love those Joann’s ladies…she gave the end of bolt price to me on the whole yard, not just the last two inches. ๐Ÿ˜€

Almost done with my gifts I am making this year, but still some shopping to do. Getting close though! (close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades so I’d better get crackin’!)
Also can’t wait to see lots of family this week for Thanksgiving. We’ve got about 40 people coming (!) and had to move the dinner to our church in order to fit us all. Should be fun-and filling.
Can’t wait to get our tree/lights/decorations for Christmas up!!I am sooo excited this year!
My birthday plans are: watch Harry Potter tonight and eat some cake with my family. ๐Ÿ™‚ Happy days.ย

  27. Happy 26th Jess, sounds like you have wonderful plans this week! Enjoy;) Oh and I love the felt flower and fun new fabrics!

  28. Happy Birthday!!
    I turned 26 in March, it’s definitely weird being on the other side of 25. A mom at my sons preschool asked how old I was recently and now I’m the “baby” (but I do feel better about being 26 now lol)
    Have a very happy birthday, I love your blog!

  29. Happy Birthday! I’ve never written you before but figured your birthday was a good day to start! I wish you a happy, healthy and blessed year. And keep on blogging, cause I LOVE reading it every day ๐Ÿ™‚

  30. Happy Happy Birthday to you!!! Make sure you get spoiled rotten! ๐Ÿ™‚

    I loved that music video. I hadn’t seen it yet. It’s a good one. Thanks for sharing

  31. Oh jeez – we have the missionaries and one of Richard’s soldier friends coming for Thanksgiving – I thought I had it rough with feeding 4 men. 40 people – wow!

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I hope it’s the bestest. ๐Ÿ˜€

  32. Happy Birthday Jess!! 26 was my scariest birthday too. It’s ok to say you feel old, no matter how young you are. It’s your prerogative, and it’s all relative anyway, right?! (says the lady about to turn 29 who still tells everyone she’s 25)

  33. Happy Birthday! Beautiful necklace, good for you for treating yourself! ๐Ÿ™‚

  34. Happy Birthday, Jess! I can’t believe you’re almost done making your Christmas gifts… I haven’t even started! That little hair clip is adorable, and I love the necklace.

    LOVE that song from Glee, by the way. I immediately downloaded it after I watched the show:)

  35. Happy Birthday! This is my first time commenting here, I think. Although I’ve been reading your blog for the past 4 months! I also live in CA, I have a 9 month old baby girl, I LOVE sewing and we’re pretty much the same age. Thanks for sharing all the wonderful things you make! They’re inspiring.

  36. Happy Birthday!
    Don’t worry about the age thing, it is only a number. I have two kids older than you (& one who just turned 26) and I’m wondering how they got ahead of me because I’m only 22!

  37. Happy Birthday! We watched HP tonight too. The old ones. We’re doing a marathon one every night and then going to see the new one in theaters on Wednesday. We never actually treat ourselves to a theater movie!

  38. Happy Birthday Jess.
    26 is soo young. I just turned 30 and although I know its not old… it doesn’t stop me feeling old.
    Enjoy your day and eat loads of cake! x

  39. happy b-day (belated)! ๐Ÿ™‚ great presents for yourself and the embroidery on the stocking is really great.

  40. happy late birthday! sounds like you had a great day!!! i sooooo need to catch up on the harry potter movies! love the glimpse of the stocking, hair clips too cute and the necklace you picked out is beautiful!
