Firstly, let me get this penguin out of the way. I finally finished. Life got in the way of this doll/pattern and then I lost the mojo that was driving it to be finished. Either way, he's all finished and now I get to write up the pattern so you all can make your own little penguin dudes.
He's not all that big, but I like how cute he is and will be happy when the entire project is completely finished.
Now onto the birthday festivities.... Hubs had a birthday this week... actually the day after Valentine's. I used to take this as a supreme challenge and whine and be like "just great..." Now I enjoy the love of it all (yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!) and we roll with it. This year, we (ahem... I) did crazy searching for take-out BBQ because the one I had originally planned on going to was closed on Tuesdays. Of course it was.. But I found a nice place that was about 30 minutes from the house... We'll be going back... hopefully without the kidlets and on the motorcycle.
I made Hubs birthday cupcakes... from scratch... with love.
Kiddo made birthday bunny ears, giggling maniacally... with love.
Dr. Destructo loves his cupcakes... also with love.
So that's that.
