it's my birthday and i can {wear whatever tights i want to}

 i turned 25 on sunday.

i feel a lot older.

 

at lunch: sheryl took me out on friday

when i was younger, i had a plan about my future. 

i wasn't going to marry until the age of 24 at least.

then i would wait 2 years to have children at least.

so according to that plan, i would just have been married now, with no kids.

i laugh at the thought.

i'm 25, married, and fatly pregnant with my third baby.

i wouldn't have it any other way:)

to celebrate myself,
 i wore these tights to church:

i got some weird looks, but more compliments.

yesssss!

also as a gift to myself, i splurged on new bedding. my brother, mark, bought this crate and 

barrel bedding for us for our wedding 5 years ago. i actually still love it and will use 

it for a quilt backing, but i was craving some more color.

before

so to europe i went!
well it seems that way with what i paid for shipping from the UK!
orla kiely.
this is my favorite design of hers. classic and spunky!

after

i have to admit it might be a tad too bright for an adults room, but i still love it.
i don't think that i'll be able to handle it for another five years. but won't it make fabulous quilting material?


another year, another birthday...
