birthday

yesterday was my birthday and i am now 27!  mike and fig decorated with pink balloons and we went out to lunch at my favorite bakery. and got a cupcake and macarons. (of course)

we plan on going out to celebrate more this weekend because i was not feeling well at all yesterday, and my birthday dinner got postponed.. but sometimes when you are 27 you are just forced to be mature, and to do things like extend your birthday into a whole week which also gives time for more birthday treats and presents. and that's ok. 

crochet lace top

i finally got to take pictures of this lace top i made. lately has been all work and no fun, and pretty rainy. but now i have a couple days off, and it's nice out. and i didn't even get poison ivy from sitting among all of these questionable plants. so that's good.    

i used this pattern, which is translated to english and mostly just a chart, but once i actually tried to figure it out it wasn't hard at all, except i added sleeves instead of just the edging around the arm holes.
