I’ve been getting advance gifts from my daughters for my upcoming 80th birthday, but I was surprised by a wonderful gift from my blogging friend, Freda, at The Adventures of the Empress of the Universe. Last week, she had posted a tutorial on making stilettos from turkey lacers to use in sewing – and she sent me one! It’s so precious and will definitely be used. Freda enclosed it with a card by one of my favorites, Mary Engelbreit.
To learn how to make these beautiful stilettos, go to Freda’s blog:

Thank you, Freda, for making my day.

A very nice tool Lillian, must check it out, thanks for the link. Nice to have daughters who spoil you in advance :))

Happy birthday (early), Lillian! I’m glad you like your stiletto!

How very pretty and thoughtful. I love the card. I’m a ME fan also…who wouldn’t be, right? 🙂

That’s a perfectly lovely stiletto! I never thought about such a thing. I’m going over to look at her tutorial, and probably regret all the huge beads I gave away. =)

What a beautiful gift! I have antique stilettos with ivory handles but this one is so very special with the pretty beads on it.
