Nanette loves her iphone. She can usually be seen stitching and watching a movie on her iphone, placed at her side. This is an evening ritual it seems.
Speaking of movies, Nanette loves old movies. The Birds is one of her old favorites and most of us like this one too.
Nanette loves dishes and teapots. The house is decorated with her dishes as you've seen in many posts before. The dishes are used to make our meals look festive sometimes too.
Of coures, Nanette also loves all things Pennsylvanian. She is from Reading, PA and has lots of stories to tell about growing up there.
When we all went back to visit Reading we all fell in love with Tastykakes too, another one of Nanette's favorite things. You can't get these in very many places here in Utah.
So these are a few of Nanette's favorite things. She is a good mother and excels at everything she does. We are very proud of her. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!! -the Merrill girls (and Mason kind of)

Happy Birthday Nanette!
OK, so I'm "like" whispering this whole post in my mind as I'm reading, like it's a big secret to Nanette and we don't want her to know that we are reading these things about her on her own blog?!!! so now I'm whispering, "Happy Birthday" to Nanette. I hope it's been a great one, you certainly deserve it! (can I talk out loud now?, good 'cause I need to yell at my son!)
Yay, a birthday celebration! I hope it's a happy one for you Nanette. You certainly deserve it and I know your girls will see that you have a happy day.
Wishing you many many more too!

Commenting for the first time to say Happy Birthday to Nanette! I absolutely love this blog. I made a couple of baby quilts years ago, but honestly do not have the patience for quilting. Nonetheless, I adore quilts and so admire the craftsmanship and artistry that goes into the ones you display here. I'll keep coming back, just to look!
Hope you had a wonderful birthday!!!
I love you tons. Love, Tricia
I'm late too, I do hope your day was filled with love and laughter.
Sweet! Happy birthday Nanette! xo

Happy Birthday Nanette! You're always so generous with your time and fabric. What a blessing you are in our lives! Have a very happy day...(one time my husband forgot my birthday and ever since I celebrate 'birthday month', so I can be celebrated again and again and never feel bad if he forgets! Incidentally, it was an expensive mistake on his part!) Hugs
Happy Happy Birthday Nanette dear!
Happy days will come to you all year!
If I had one wish then it would be
A Happy Happy Birthday (and thanks for your fun blog) to you from me!

This is a bit late... the time I actually run on lately. Never the less it comes with a huge wish that your birthday was full of love and well wishes. I am glad the Penn. girl feel in love with one of our own from Idaho and somewhere is our vast family we are connected as cousins!

So fun you watch movies as you quilt. That is one of your secrets why you accomplish so much!
Thanks for the visit!

Happy Belated Birthday to my favorite fabric addict and creative guru ever!!! Much love always!!!
Happy Happy Birthday to sweet Nanette! I love all of your favorite things too. You are so blessed to have such wonderful daughters. I'm so thankful to call you my friend. xoxo
How did I miss this post? I was so busy cleaning on Monday that I never got around to reading any blogs and then yesterday was my birthday, so no time and then I lost my internet connection! Hope you had a great birthday!!! The cupcozy is a great idea.
Happy belated birthday Nanette! I'm a big fan of my iphone too, I carry it with me like a baby! I don't know what I did pre-iphone, but I really couldn't live without it now! ;)
While I cannot quilt to save my life and have quit the folly I created in doing so - I share your fabric addiction - shamelessly, I might add and have been known to order items from the quilted castle with intention other than gazing at them, esp. when it comes to Amy Butler's fabric!
A very belated, yet very heartfelt HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANETTE!!!! Your children wrote the loveliest post about you - I think they're keepers!
