A special thought for my RL tokay Manmi Soule who passed away at the age of 94. She was a crafty one herself so I guess the date is magical that way!

Ah, yes, I remember that word, tokay. Love it! Was crafty Manmi Soule a mentor of yours?

I don't think there is any equivalent in English for "tokay." I often lament there is not a word for all the members of the family in English. I call them 'familiars.' My familiars. I remember in Spanish class I learned an adjective to describe a person--simpatico. It was a many-layered, nuanced word that meant nice . . . but more than just nice. Charming, agreeable, easy to get a long with. Just simpatico. There was simply no one-word equivalent in English. I think you are 'simpatico.' (Probably simpatica? Not sure.)

Happy Birthday to you! (Hope BurdaStyle has a special offer today . . . .)

Happy birthday. I hope your loved ones and friends bought you lots of 'crafty' presents.

Happy Birthday to all of us!!!! a couple more hours until I'm officially 43, but it doesn't really matter :-)

Goal is to spend time baking and sewing, then out to dinner with the family....however, need to run to the store for brown sugar since I've used up most of what I had making homemade granola bars for the family earlier...whoops....ah well.

Hope all who are celebrating today have an enjoyable day doing what they love most.

Happy Birthday!

Thank you, everyone, for the wishes! I had a great day and a really tasty Italian lunch with my BFF (who is born on the 9th!).

The bad weather is affecting my internet access or I would have replied already. The only sour note today, really.
