May you have a wonderful, happy day!

(I have it on good authority the littles have a little something planned.   ;) )

Thanks, everyone!  And it looks like my book is in the local area and has been transferred from UPS to USPS for delivery.  Now hopefully that means it will be delivered to my office before closing time this afternoon, and not just that it's been delivered to our university post office in preparation for a Monday office delivery.

Laurna, where in the world did you find that narrow trim on mini-Washburn's tunic, or is that just some of your sewing machine's fancy stitching giving the illusion of a woven trim?

Hi Evie, hope you had a good day. I guess the Transport Portal did not work, but it was worth a try. Wash's tunic is edged with a running sewing machine stitch from my embroider machine. I drew with outline of the tunic with a chalk pencil on the fabric. Embroidered the edges, and then cut it out and sewed it together afterword. Wash's was my first attempt, Muir's stitching was fancier and a bit straighter.  ;D

Happy birthday, Evie!

(In amusing news, when I searched Google Images for a cake depicting a lion dormant, the first image was for the cake I posted in Jasta's birthday thread a while back.  :D )
Title: Re: Happy Birthday, Evie!
Post by: Evie on December 05, 2018, 08:45:04 AM
Thank you!  And I suspect cakes with a handsome Deryni bishop on them are probably even more rare than cakes with lions dormant!   ;D
Title: Re: Happy Birthday, Evie!
Post by: DesertRose on December 05, 2018, 08:55:01 AM
Afraid so, although there is apparently a specific type of cake called "bishop's cake."  :D

ETA:  It's similar to a pound cake, but I think a little smaller, because it calls for a mere half-pound of butter.  ;)

Happy Birthday Evie! 
I've actually made Bishop's cake. It is indeed a very good poundcake recipe. Was remarkably disappointed it didn't turn into Duncan after baking, though.

Hope the next trip around the sun is full of good health, interchangeable doll heads and family prosperity!

Happy Birthday Evie.

Ok no handsome bishope cakes to be found. So I tried for  a medieval barbie doll cake and got this.

Not quite medieval girl, not quite a handsome bishop, and not quite a lion dormant, but--- well, here goes.

Nevertheless, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I had a lovely dinner party with family and friends, thank you! And here at the office I have a stuffed Porg wearing a party hat and two of my littles, so I guess that counts for a second celebration.  :)

What the heck is a stuffed Porg in a party hat. LOL

I have to see a picture of this.
Glad you had good celebrations all around.
Title: Re: Happy Birthday, Evie!
Post by: DesertRose on December 06, 2018, 01:08:16 PM
A Porg is a little bird-like creature who featured in The Last Jedi, because they filmed certain sequences on an island full of small birds (puffins, IIRC), and there were too many birds to edit them all out, so they just made in-universe creatures of them, LOL.  Evie has a stuffed-toy version, who was (at least yesterday) adorned with a party hat.

Post by: Evie on December 10, 2018, 01:14:02 PM
Thanks, Judy! He's actually a Porg, which is a creature from Star Wars.  (The island they were using in some of their scenes had migratory puffins that lived there several months out of each year, which they didn't know when they started shooting scenes there, so once the puffins returned, they had to figure out what to do about the thousands of birds in every scene. It turned out to be much less expensive to CGI-mutate them all into cute little alien Porgs than to try to erase them completely and replace the bird-shaped holes with proper backgrounds.)

I had a lovely day, thank you! I had lunch with an old friend and my daughter, which was a semi-surprise (I had thought my daughter was working that day), and then my daughter and husband took me out to dinner later that evening. My son had to work, but I got a text congratulating me on my transfer from mere old age to ancientness. Thanks, dude! 😂

Thank you, everyone! It was an extra special day. I just got home. At noon I went for what I thought was going to be just a regular birthday lunch with my parents and son (DH was at work), but then a young lady showed up at my table with a dozen roses, saying "I understand someone has a birthday at this table." I looked up, confused, wondering when Olive Garden started giving roses to customers with birthdays, when I saw who was holding them. My DD had flown in from Colorado to surprise me, and DS had sneakily hosted her at his apartment so I wouldn't find out she was here until we were seated at the restaurant. She is in town until Friday, so I'll get more Mom time with her before she has to go home to CO.

Later we took my Mom Christmas shopping and had my husband meet us at the Mall, since he had planned to take me out for a birthday dinner. So when he showed up, DD got to surprise him also, since she wouldn't let me call or text him beforehand to let him know she was here.

Best. Birthday. Gift. Ever!  ❤️

Happy belated birthday, Evie!  I seem not to be getting back to the Castle enough to keep track of things.  I hope that your birthday was a happy one thereabouts!   :D
