fire alert.........

Fairy girl got a little carried away with the candles............pleased don't count them but I was waiting for the smoke alarms to go off when we blew out the candles.............lol..........
these are the fabrics I received from my online group birthday swap...............Friends in Stitching............thanks Razzy I love the fabrics.........6 fat 1/8's and we have to make a small quilt from them........
my sister is a gem and she gave me this Material Obsession book..........
and the super treasures at my house gave me this mixmaster...............yippee..............my old one is about 50 years old and I have had and used it (and loved it) for about 15 years..............think it is running out of life though struggling a little............wonder if this one will last 50 years?????? 
it even has dough hooks- can't wait to give them a go...........
yep that is grey laminex on the wall and bench top..........the kitchen is from the 50's too............I do dream of a new one but the one I have is mouse proof and works well...............
Catch you later..............

glad you had a great day, enjoy all your goodies. I have a mix master too, it is Mum's original. She bought the stainless steel bowls for it a few years ago and gave it to me for Christmas that year. Not really sure how old it is, early 60s I always assumed. Need to check that out!

Glad you DID get spoilt. Now there will be no stopping you in the kitchen. You know my address if you need to send any leftovers. xx

Happy Birthday! Nice gifts too. Enjoy your new mixer.

My son would envy your kitchen. He likes 50's decor and would love to have his home decorated as such!

You did well with some great pressies! I have been looking at a similar mix master but if I got one I would actually have to bake cakes then LOL

Happy Birthday..... the candles on the cake picture is just too cute. I also have that book - haven't made anything from it yet but feel "one must have something made from Material Obsession!" I'm a bit jealous of the mixmaster! Hugz

Happy Birthday to you for yesterday! Glad you were spoilt rotten, can't wait to see what you create with that new mixmaster. Did the family have a fire extinguisher handy???

Tania said...

Our Mixmaster has bitten the dust. To the extent that whenever I remember I need to bake a cake, I need to use a recipe that requires only a quick 'stir'. Lucky chook!

Nicky said...

Looks like you had a fabulous day. Congrats and Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!! Everyone needs a fairy girl to make a birthday just a little bit more special (and flammable). I'll be looking for pictures of all the yummy things you make with the new mixer.
