Happy Birthday to my favourite Aussie-Canadian Crocheter/Knitter/Artist! So glad that you and Chad had the opportunity to take such a great holiday, especially your time with Rose & Crystal! When you said you would be doing some travelling, I had hoped it would include Illinois! Glad you’re both back safe & sound.
Belated Happy Birthday 🎉 Thank you for sharing some holiday snaps, looks like you all had a wonderful time. Enjoy your gifts and I look forward to seeing what you make with the yarn
Happy belated birthday Gary! I'm glad you had a memorable trip and enjoyed yourself. Thank you for sharing some great pictures with us. Chad seemed to be having a great time also. (Love the picture of him with wings) You received some great gifts and happy mail!❤
Happy Birthday Gary from Aussie Land, Love your pattern book. and I like to do your shawl when times comes. Very for you and Chad a great Holiday and great meet up with Rose and Crystal, That must been awesome time. Love the Yarn. I love pottery too and yumo's treats from Aussies. Take care, send my love.❤❤❤👍🤏🤏
Hi Gary !! Happy belated birthday ❤❤. So good to see you ! Awesome birthday gifts. Awww that’s so sweet. Crystal adores you. Sounds like you had a great birthday ❤❤❤. Always a pleasure to hear and see you. 🤗🙏🏽❤️
Happy Belated Birthday!!! I happy you enjoyed you vacation with hubby and Crystal, and Rose. Thanks for sharing your birthday gift everything is beautiful.
I love the stashes from the old ladies who don’t knit or crochet anymore. It is like a treasure trove. My dad neighbor who had cancer tried to give him her stash for free, but my dad insisted on paying and gave her $10 and helped fix up her house since she was too sick to do any of it. She passed back in October. But the yarns were wonderful and some hanks were simples ones, some decades old, some she got from world travel and some worth more than $50 a hank. She said that seeing the stash go to a good home and used is well worth it.
That walk is not for the faint of heart. I am born and raised in Chicago now living in a suburb of Chicago. I even volunteered at the Shedd Aquarium for 10 years🥰. There are so many great moments and pop shops in Chicagoland that I am happy to share. In Wheaton near Chicago there is a coffee roaster called I Have a Bean that you can get a free cup of coffee when you walk in, no requirement of buying the coffee. And not far there are two yarny/craft shops within walking distance. Wonder times, a coffee from I have a bean and walk through the shops of downtown Wheaton.
Hi Deb! Thanks for the birthday greets. I can see why Chicago is a favourite city of yours. I could easily slip back into the city's rhythm anytime. Hope you are well and enjoying your April.
Happy belated Birthday friend 🥳🥳🥳 Ooh, penny gives such special gifts. Holy Moley! CiaoGoo needles?? Wowzers!! That yarn is so beautiful. I have never seen a parking structure that's round like that, very creative. Chicago looks like so much fun. Was that fried oyster mushrooms in a bun? Yummy. Look at Hubby, that beautiful smile says it all. Hello Rosie and Crystal 👋🏼 Best Birthday EVER!! hahaaa.. 8 hours of walking would of had me in bed for 2 weeks. My body just can't do it anymore 😬 Thank you for this video, can't wait to see the next one.
Hello Zee! I'm such a lucky ducky to be graced with so many amazing people and friends in here. We had such a fun time and you are very observant - those delicious things were Tempera Oyster Mushrooms in bao (steamed buns). I thought the carpark was kind of interesting too - it had a spiral ramp on the inside for the cars to drive up and down. I would be dizzy using it, but it did look pretty.
Happy birthday Gary 🎁🎈.. looks like you & Chad enjoyed a very special time in Illinois .. so great to see your catch up with Crystal & her lovely family .. gosh the Kartopu yarn is gorgeous - love the colourway 🧶🧶.. thanks for another great video 😊
Wow!! What a wonderful birthday visiting with beloved yarnie friends!! What a treat to visit Rose & Crystal & the BOD family! To celebrate your birthday with them all is awesome with fun memories to treasure! Great happy mail! Yep, Cherry Ripe used to be my fave chocolate bar until many years ago when I couldn't eat that much sugar for health reasons. I miss them, but occasionally I have a little taste of a Violet Crumble!! YUM! 🥰Blessings from South Australia💕🐨
Hello Kerryn - Its so wonderful to get your message. The trip was incredible. It will be remembered for years to follow and be a standout year I got to do something extra special to what I normally do for my B-Day. I love that on the occasion you still have a little taste of those treats for nostalgia and endorphins... LOL!
Happy belated birthday from Sweden. So happy you all had a wonderful time. That box of goodies was huge! Happy stitching with that. Stay safe and be creative ♥
Hello Sue! I'm thrilled for Crystals reaching her 1Million too. Well deserved and we're cheering her on to the next milestone/goals (what ever they are).
My apologies did not know you had a birthday many warm loving blessings to you on your special day, you were spoiled and deserve to be, love to you, Chad and Pixel.
Happy Belated Birthday. Glad you had such a great time in Chicago and with Rose and Crystal. Thanks for the pictures-I live in Chicago and haven’t been in the Loop in about 10 years. You forget what the city has to offer.
Hi Gary so happy for you that you had a wonderful vacation and birthday. Happy belated birthday. Some day I would like to hop on the Victoria ferry in the fall. And take you and Chad to high tea. I'm rather old so I don't travel much but should make it to Victoria. It warms my heart to see how happy you and Chad are together. Kathy
Hello Kathy - that would be a wonderful trip to Victoria. The inside passage up along Vancouver Island and the mainland (also around the San Juan Islands) is breathtaking.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful birthday trip with us. I felt like I was back in my city for a while. Seeing the Corn Cob buildings reminded me of working in downtown Chicago. Happy Happy Birthday, Gary! ❤🎉🎂

Until the next time - be well and send our greetings to Carrots and the animals.
