happy birthday Heidi!

Our daughter-in-law, Heidi’s birthday is today.  I never have to wonder what Heidi would like for her birthday as she’s usually pretty explicit about what she wants.  It sort of kills the element of surprise but also eliminates the guesswork.

They bought an old piano at her grandmothers household auction a couple of months ago and she wanted a runner for the top of it.  This is what I came up with.

IMG_4171It photographed lighter than it really is.  It’s mainly mustards, deep reds, browns and greens which all go well in their home.

I took this over last night with a pan of scotcheroos.  I’m not sure which she liked more.  :)   Scotcheroos are pretty darned good!

Happy Birthday Heidi!

Enjoy your day!

    Very pretty runner! I agree though - scotcheroos are high on my list of likes!

    Awesome runner. I wish my dil would request something I made. I have made her stuff (knitted bags, sewn purses, etc) & I don't think she's ever used anything. I work with girls her age & they seem to like them. I guess she doesn't care for "homemade" gifts.
