Surprise!

Yesterday while I was at work, my daughter was busy at home with a surprise for me when I arrived. She had been working on this for over a month and she really did surprise me. 

We had been sharing a table since I bought my sewing machine last summer and whenever I was done sewing I needed to put everything away in order for her to be able to use the table as well. 

So, on her own she went out and bought me a table of my own and set it up yesterday while I was working. This was my birthday present from her. 

She also bought my favorite flowers, hyacinths and included the tulips as well. She also stripped my bed for me and washed all my bed clothes and made the bed for me before I got home. She was a busy little bee. 

Not only did she do that for me but she knew that I wanted to open an Etsy shop to sell things in order to have a second income stream. I even asked her, a month or so ago, to help me come up with a name for my new shop. 
So, she came here, to my blog, looking for inspiration and came up with the name, My Mountain Workshop, and even ordered business cards and set up an Etsy shop for me. Here is a photo of the cards she had made for me and a link to my new Etsy shop. 

The shop is empty right now, but I've been working on a few things like these dish towels made to look like little girl's dresses. Here is a photo of two that I've made. I did not make the one in the middle. 

These are still in the prototype stage, but this will be my summer project this year. To work on things to sell in my Etsy shop. 

So this birthday has been a very special one. Not only do I have a very thoughtful daughter, but I know that she is a blessing to me from God. 
Just as He tells us in the 127th Psalm, Children are a heritage from the Lord, Offspring a reward from Him. 
I'm counting my blessings this morning.
