May you have a wonderful, happy day!
(I have it on good authority the littles have a little something planned. ;) )
Thank you!
And it would have to be a little something, wouldn't it? ;D

Happy Birthday Evie!
Here is to hoping this works, and you get your book today.
A very happy birthday
Happiest of birthdays, Evie! :)
Happy Birthday, Evie! =o) :D May you and your copy of The King's Deryni soon be united.

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?
Happy birthday, Evie! And thanks so much for the littles project and for sharing it with us!
Kathleen/Lenni
Thank you all! And speaking of the littles, I just added a new update on my thrones project. :)
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

Haha! I Have another cake for you!.
Happy, Happy Birthday!
LOL! It's even personalized! Thank you! :D
Lovely cake Laurna, and we all know who the princess is looking out for (cough Duncan cough.)
Happy birthday, Evie! :-D
I hope you have had a wonderful day, Evie. Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday, Evie! I tried to gift wrap Duncan, but he wouldn't stop wiggling.=o) Enjoy your life of (temporary) retired freedom!
Here's hoping for a literary year to come!
((Evie))

Happy, happy birthday, Evie!
(I heard a rumour that there will be fianna wine and sweet cakes served in your honor in Bishop Duncan's study this afternoon.) :)
Happy birthday, Evie! I hope it's a fantastic day for you! :D
A very very happy birthday, Evie!
Here is a black knight to deliver that Fianna Wine from Jerusha.

Thank you, all! I'm looking forward to having that glass of Fianna and some sweet cakes after work while I'm sitting by the cozy fire in Duncan's study. ;D
Happy day
Hope the rest of your day is good.

This is so last year, I just can not resist posting it.
Enjoy your birthday, Evie, make it a great one!
Happy birthday, Evie!
A little flamingo told me that Bishop Duncan was seen arranging for a surprise birthday feast. But you didn't hear that from me. ;D
Happy birthday, Evie!
(Laurna, I love that cake! :D )
Eat the cake (even though the flamingo one is almost too pretty to eat) and enjoy your day!
Happy birthday from over the Pond, raising a tea cup😀
LOL! That cake! ;D Thank you all for the birthday well-wishes! I look forward to my "surprise" feast with the Bishop. ;)
Wishing you a very Happy Birthday, Evie, and many more!
Happy birthday Evie.
Have a great day Evie!
Oops! Er.....Happy Birthday Evie plus One Day? Hope it was a good birthday!

It was! And thank you all for the birthday greetings. :)
Happy birthday a day late. Sorry to be late but hope you had a wonderful and will have a good year !
Happy, happy birthday, Evie! Hope you have a wonderful day.
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 )
Thank you! And I suspect cakes with a handsome Deryni bishop on them are probably even more rare than cakes with lions dormant! ;D
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!
Have a great day Evie.
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!
Melissa
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.

LOL, didn't quite hit the mark. LOL
Nevertheless, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
LOL! Close enough, Laurna. I'm sure it's tasty anyway. ;D ;D ;D
Thanks, everybody!
Happy Birthday
Happy, happy birthday Evie. Hope you have had a wonderful day and that you, Duncan (yes, he came), and the littles had a great party. PS, love that cake.
Hi, Evie! I hope you had a GREAT 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.
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.

Oh My! That is the cutest thing EVER! Hello Evie's Porg! Do you like your birthday bow hat? Is it Jedi en-fussed with happiness. LOL
Yeah, you can see the happy writ all over him, can't you? ;D ;D ;D His name is Pudgekin, by the way.
Greetings Pudgekin
Hi there, Pudgekin! You are awesomely cute.

Your Porg is wearing your littles as well as a party hat??? Musta been SOME PARTY!! ;D :o ;)
Balance one little on each shoulder, don't you know. Kind of the opposite to a parrot on the shoulder. Duncan and Helena getting a lift up on sweet Pudgekin. That must be why he looks so unhappy. :P ;D
Happy B-day, My Deerest!

Especially since he hardly has any shoulders! ;D
That stuffed penguin is the cutest thing ever!
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.)
Woo hoo! It's your birthday again, Evie! Hope you have a very happy birthday!
Happy birthday,
@Evie !
In honor of a Halloween costume you wore a few years ago:

happy birthday to our one and only
@Evie ... hope your day is good
Have a Happy Flamingo Birthday, Evie!
I will be happy to have a slice of cake when you give it a cutting.
Happy Birthday, Evie! Whoop it up, it's your day to howl. (Okay, maybe don't do it anywhere you want to project an impression of professionalism.) But do something you really love at your earliest opportunity! Here's some cake to get you started.
Melissa
I apologize if I missed a birthday--- but... Happy Birthday, Evie!
I have been remiss!
Evie's birthday was yesterday, and my brain was telling me it was today.
So belatedly, happy birthday, Evie!
Hope you had a wonderful birthday, Evie!
Oh dear me! How did we ever let this pass us by! I was just going through old birthday posts a few days ago and thought to myself I need to find a birthday cake. I guess it just took an extra day to bake, what with the horns and all. LOL
EVIE, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Belatedly that is!

Amazing cake!
Happy birthday Evie. Hope you had a great day. Maybe you should adopt my friend John's philosoply. His birthday is in August and he celebrates throughout the month. Sound like a good idea to me. Again, happy, happy birthday.
Happy Birthday, Evie! We miss you!
Melissa
Hello Evie, and happy belated birthday. I've never spoken to you, but i've read several of your stories and lots of your comments and you seem like a fun person who deserves lovely and happy birthdays. :)
Another year and we are back again to wish you a happy birthday. Happy Birthday, Evie! Hope your day is the best ever.
Happy birthday, Evie!

Have a castle fit for a Baroness.
Ooh, pretty! 😍 Thank you all! I just had a lovely lunch with my daughter and an old friend, and I think there are also dinner plans in the works for tonight.
Happy Birthday, Evie!
Love that cake!!
Happy birthday, plus one, Evie! I hope you had a good birthday!
Melissa
Whoops, how did I miss this. Hope you had a good day!
Quote from: Demercia on December 07, 2022, 01:34:06 AMWhoops, how did I miss this. Hope you had a good day!
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! 😂
Glad to hear you had a great day!
It's that birthday time again, Evie! Hope you have a wonderful day.
Happy birthday! Make it a great one.
Happy Birthday, Evie Whoop it up!
Happy birthday Evie
Happy birthday Evie. Hope you have had a wonderful birthday.

Happy Birthday Evie!
first kiss the dragon, read the book, and then eat the cake.
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! ❤️
That is awesome, Evie. Have a happy time with your family for the whole week.
Happy (belated) Birthday!
Wow, that's wonderful Evie.
What a wonderful birthday present; and it lasts until Friday! (Memories last longer.) :)
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
