I recently had the honor of making a special custom-made "Fabulous 50" birthday gift.

My client received a Happy Heart Studio gift certificate for her birthday,

and she chose a hand-knit scarf/cowl, scarf embellishment, and birthstone crystal earrings for her gift.

Her gifts were mailed this week, hopefully in time to keep the birthday girl warm on chilly Virginia evenings.

Speaking of chilly evenings, they've been giving me a hankering for yummy roasted acorn squash.

Or maybe it's the melted butter and brown sugar topping I've been craving.  So good!

Don't worry, I've been sharing.

Oh, if you ever need a good excuse why you can't do laundry...
