Am I a grown up yet?
I'm 43!
I'm not too old to still have babies.
I'm too young for a seniors card.
I no longer have my ID checked to get into the pub.
I'm a mum!
I still feel like a kid at times.
I still make mistakes.
I still have so much to learn.
And most of the time I love who I am.
I'm loving my 40's
I'm more confident.
A lot grayer.
I even love my wrinkles, they show how often I laugh and smile.
I thought my 30's were the best but the 40's are!
Does each decade just keep getting better?
I was treated like a queen this morning.
I woke with Michael all snuggled up to me, reminding me he is still a baby and now about to be a big brother.
The baby inside was having a boot maybe already aware of the competition snuggling in.
Breakfast in bed.
My children all there singing happy birthday and presenting me with handmade cards.
They were so excited.
Michael helped me open my presents.
Peter had wrapped them beautiful in Dora the Explore gift wrap, which the kids watched close to make sure I didn't tear!
A beautiful silver pendant.
There are matching earings too.
I'd admired them months ago in the Jewelers' window
I love the curve of the cross, reminds me of my own rather 'curvy' faith!
Some knitting magazines for me to read as I sipped my morning tea in bed.
A book I have drooled over for so long.
But could never bring myself to buy as it was very expensive.
This really is a fabulous book full of how to's and tips.
And FABRIC!
12 beautiful fat quarters.
I know I am spoiled, as well as loved!
And as always there was a card all the way from England from my Aunt Janet. She never forgets. I always get a bit teary when it turns up. She's never forgotten the kids birthdays either, even when there are 6 of them!
Thank you Janet!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRACY!!!
Looks like you got an awesome gift haul & were treated with the appropriate birthday reverence this morning.
I hope my 30s & 40s are as great as yours were & are shaping up to be.
You're an inspiration, but, what's new?!
Hope the rest of your day is FANTASTIC!

happy birthday Tracy.
Happy birthday to you! I have to agree- nearly one year into my 40s and I am loving it. My grey hairs are ever increasing and, unlike yours, not appreciated but I do appreciate the fact that I still have control of my bladder lol!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Glad to hear you got a bit spoiled, you deserve it!
Happy Birthday Tracy!!!!

Oooh Happy Birthday! What lovely gifts!
Happy Birthday Tracey! What lovely gifts! I'm 47 and, yes, the 40s are a GREAT decade! I never would have thought I'd say that in my 20s and 30s. But now, somehow, I think each one does get better, so I'm not afraid of the 50s!! o:)
Happy birthday! I'm the same age...it's a great age to be! I recently discovered your blog and I'm really enjoying it. I'm planning on making a couple of your patterns for a friend of mine who's having a baby. It's great to see something that a beginner can turn out! Thanks.
Happy Birthday for yesterday! Sounds like you had a fabulous day. Life does get better as you get older doesn't it? Feeling wholer within.
Happy birthday Tracy!
