Perpetual 29!
Laura D says
I still can’t believe how big she’s gotten…
Courtney says
Wishing you the happiest!
Courtney says
27 would be my favorite. That’s where I am right now
Catriona says
I genuinely just had to think about what age I am… Oh dear! But 28 seems to be going well so far so I’ll say that 🙂 Happy birthday!
Alissa says
Hmm, I haven’t really had a favorite age, but probably something post-college but pre-thirties (still can’t believe in that old!).
Happy birthday! And thanks for the giveaway!
Maureen says
I’d love to win the shoe pattern! Adorable!
Alison says
Well, I’m 35 and my life is full of blessings so I wouldn’t go back to any age. Happy right here. Happy Birthday to you!
Magda E. says
Happy birthday Delia! Well, I just got in my 30’s less than 2 months ago, not much experience yet to tell you if they are or not the best, but we’ll see. thanks for the giveaway, those shoes are adorable!
Laura says
I am 28… was just talking to a friend about turning 30 🙂 maybe it wont be as big of a deal as it seems! Your shoes are darling i would love to make them for my daughter!
Cynthia Sum says
Happy Birthday to a talented Mom! =)
Kristie says
I would have to say any of my thirties. And while I am only two-almost three years into them, they have been great. But it might have something to do with the idea that I am done having kids and now I am enjoying them.
jessica says
i’ll be halfway through my thirties this year (what?!) and they’ve been pretty good to me! LOVE my kiddos and am teaching my Kindergartner at home this year!
Kimberly says
I think 28 was my favorite so far. But 29 has been pretty good, too!
Ashley says
25 has been pretty good to me so far so I will go with 25!
nele says
For some reason i like the even numbers better. So 27 in 2013 is definitely not my favourite. 22 was a good year!
Maggie says
Happy Birthday, Delia! I turned 30 this year, too, and so far it’s awesome! We have a whole decade of this to enjoy! 🙂
Ursula Ramos says
These would make such great baby gifts. Happy Birthday.
Naomi says
33!….keeps getting better and better
Kiersten says
I loved 30! I really don’t mind getting older- and life is good, so 33 is now my new favorite:)
Michelle says
34 was definitely my best year. Welcomed baby #3, finally felt comfortable in my own skin, still blessed with lots of energy. . .
Happy Birthday!
Chelsi Biehl says
Right now I am 29, and I keep telling people it has to be a good year because this is the one that people always use over and over again!!! So far it has been pretty great! Also, I love your pattern!
Chelsi Biehl says
Right now I am 29, and I keep telling people it has to be pretty good because it is the one year that people use over and over again! So far it has been pretty great! Also, I love your pattern and your blog! Happy Birthday!
Dianne says
My thirties have been easy… but turning 29 was terrible! I was celebrating with my sister and she kept telling everyone I was turning 30. Then I’d say no, I’m 29 and no one would believe me. Terrible that year, but made actually turning 30 not so bad!
Terra says
I don’t think I could pick an age, but I’ve loved my twenties-that’s when I got married and had my three babies. But my thirties are coming really soon, so I’ll have to see how they go!
Cynthia says
I’ve like 24 though it is still weird to say it.
LAK says
35 – the year my daughter was born!
Tammy says
I turned 30 two months ago and I love where I am at so 30 is my favorite age so far! Happy Birthday!
Heather Feather says
Happy Birthday!
Every year has been great, but this one (my 25th) is my favorite so far!
Paige says
Oh gosh it seems like every age has had its great blessings for me. I hopr it is the same for you. Merry Christmas and happy birthday
kristymn says
33 was the best year of my 30s so far. Happy birthday!!
Carolyne says
Yes please, yes please, yes please
Marian Griffin says
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Hope it’s a great one, and I’m excited to try your pattern!!
Marian Griffin says
And being 25 was pretty great. But I’ve only been 26 for a month now, and it’s turning out pretty great also!
Maria says
I’m 34 and I usually don’t pay too much attention to my age (I have to count years every time lol!)
My favorite age… all since I turned 27 and had my daughter, I feel ageless now, a new adventure every day 😉
Sharon J. says
25, 26, 27, & 29…the years I got married and had my 3 kiddos
Lisa says
I just turned 30 on Thanksgiving! 🙂 So, I haven’t been 30 for too long but I’m so excited for this change in decade and looking forward to what it will bring. Hoping the same for you!! Thanks for the giveaway.
kristin says
Aw happy birthday, Delia! You’re such a sweet gal and a good friend. Also, I love my 30s so far, they’re pretty great. 🙂
Jessica says
Happy birthday! I don’t have a favorite age- all of them are different.
krista says
I’m 32 and happy with my age now. I love being a mom and mom-to-be. I hope you have a happy birthday!
Stephanie Quinn says
Im 43. Thats what my mirror and calendar tell me. But my heart and head tell me im somewhere between 13-20. I don’t have a favorite age…or think one year is better than all of the others. Every moment that has brought me to this current one are all equally important…some good, some bad. Today is always my favorite day.
Drea Hatch says
Well, I’m only 24, so I can’t tell you how rad the 30’s are quite yet, but I can say every year has been better than the last. Especially as my family grows. We just added another little one to our family (making us a family of four) so 24 has been good to me. 🙂
Mareike says
Happy Birthday to you!!! 30? Really? I’m impressed: you’re a mom of three and look so young and fresh!!! Congratulation!!!
Stephanie says
Happiest of Birthday Wishes to you! I turned 30 this year and all honestly have loved this year the most. I finally am in a place of my life where I am satisified with where and what I am. I have an amazing husband, two beautiful sons, and a daughter on the way and due in 2014. I no longer have the stigmentation of you need to be accomplishing something that you can have in your 20’s. I have accomplished so much and just feel the blessing of it all.
sorahart says
I loved 31…that’s when I became a mama for the first time!
Rachel says
I have loved all of my ages. Especially 26! Very cute pattern, I hope I win it!
Julie says
Hi Delia ~ HaPpY bIrThDaY!! Wow…I loved turning 30! I was just a newly 6 month married woman and in a great job. It was a great year. Turning 40 I was 8 3/4 months pregnant, so that was a little uncomfortable of a birthday 😉 Enjoy your 30’s!! Thank you for the give-away, Merry Christmas and blessings to you and your family in 2014.
Karen says
I think maybe 35 when number 3 arrived and our family felt complete. Happy birthday x
Helen says
22 has suited me! 🙂
Elizabeth @ hobbylobbyist says
I have loved my 30s as well. I think 32 has been the best year so far!
Mary G says
My favorite age so far. That’s a hard one. I would say 12 years old was one of my favorite ages. Being a kid was always so much fun. My other favorite has been 21, which is how old I am now 🙂
Tasha says
I’ve just turned 26, and I think my favorite age has been the 22-23 range. Loved being pregnant with my first… mommy and not-yet-a-mommy at the same time. Plus I was super funny during that pregnancy. hehe.
Jolien says
25, overall that was a pretty good year including a pretty baby. Though 26 and 27 (with yet another baby) haven’t been that bad for me either so far… Onwards to the big 30. 🙂
Fun how people always say that their high school time or whatever school time was best and that nobody so far mentions that age… I wouldn’t want to go back either though, pff…
Congrats on your birthday!!
rachel says
My baby boy was born this year so I’d say that 28 has been my favorite age so far! 🙂
Jessica says
Well, 28 seemed pretty great but I have no idea why. I just turned 30 this year and I’ll probably stay this age for quite a few years!
Erin Grover says
happy birthday! 30 is pretty great.
Hannah says
Well, I turned 30 in November, and I cannot complain! 🙂 I personally like 21 (got married), 27 (had our son), and 29 (had our daughter). I guess all of the odd years have been good, and the evens too! I hope you have a great birthday! Thanks for the giveaway…I LOVE those shoes, and would love to make some for my daughter.
Mony says
You are so young!
sosoabricot says
Happy birthday ! My husband turned 30 this year too 🙂
Mae says
I’m waiting to find out the sex of our 3rd baby & i’m totally hoping to sew for another girl. <3 <3 & I would love to sew her about a dozen of these.
Mae
abilasha says
I am 28 now and 30 would make me feel very old. Happy birthday.
Annet M says
I think I loved 28 or so the best. The year my hubby and I wandered around the world for a year. We didn’t see half of what we had planned, we fought like crazy (in the middle of a train station in Holland no less) but we built a stronger base for our future that year. We’ve lost a bit of that magic at the moment and so I think about that. But then having our son at 31 was pretty amazing too. I guess a lot of it was great, so don’t know the real answer!
Daisy Flores says
16! Young, wild, and free! And it was the year i met my husband
Nancy says
Happy Birthday Delia! You will love your thirties I’m certain of it!! My thirties were amazing and I miss them already but luckily I still feel like I’m in them 🙂
Bethany says
29 was rough but I just hit 30 as well and I’m banking on it being a banner year!
Megan says
I liked turning 30, I guess I finally felt like an official adult. 🙂
Happy Birthday!
Michelle says
Happy Birthday you young thing, you!
I suddenly feel like a slacker compared to all you have accomplished in these 30 years to my 41!
You are an inspiration, and a good Mama.
I hope your day was grand.
~Michelle
Charity says
Happy birthday! I hope you’ve had a wonderful day. =)

Maria says
This year had been pretty good so I’d say 30 is a great year
Darla says
I turned 30 this year and so far it’s been awesome!
Britta H. says
Happy Birthday, thanks for sharing your talents I love your blog! I’d love to win this cute pattern!
Heather says
27 was pretty good. if only it wasn’t 10 years ago…..
Sarah says
Loved all the ages.
Ashley says
I loved 24. I don’t know why but it was just my year. I felt awesome, I thought I looked awesome and basically I’m pretty sure I was awesome.
Emily says
Definitely loving the first two years of the thirties. Probably my favorite so far. Hope you enjoy — happy birthday!!

Laura Kent says
33! Great age!!

Bec says
I have to say that turning 30 was harder for me than 31. But, happy birthday! Favorite age had to have been seven. I had a lot of fun when I was seven 😉
Melissa Romandy says
I think my best year so far was 27. But I’m 3 weeks into 32 and it’s been great so far.
Lalitha says

Lisa Burger says
So cute!!!
Marianne says
My favorite age has been this year, 27! 🙂
Grandma says
Always enjoy whenever God has you.
Elise H says
For I am just 24 I can’t say I love/hate to be 30, but I do love the last years (20-24): there were so much fun and interesting changes going on: starting University, getting a own household, getting a husband ;). It’s feel a lot more than a couple of years, haha!
But seeing other peoples lives I believe there’ll still be enough lively years ahead of me and I wish you the same, happy birthday! (Oh, and the Natty Janes are so adorable! I would like to make them for my nieces!)
Maya Kempe Stanners says
happy birthday !!! xx
Marcy says
Great gift! Thanks
Rebecca says
Happy Birthday! Every year had its ups and downs und I like my life like it is now, so I say 27.
Grandma says
Enjoy whenever you’re at!
Filipa says
Happy birthday! (a bit too late, sorry about that;)
Getting closer to 30th, i reminisce about the 20s… Good care free times! Though I do love my life right now:)
emilia says
Each year has its blessings. How could I pick? Thank you!
melle e says
For me, it would be a toss up…. I had my kiddo at 27… so that was a very good year,.. But I met my husband in 2006, got married in 2008… so those years are very good also!
happy birthday!
Nicole U says
This year has been great! Thanks for the chance to win 🙂
Grandma says
Whatever age I’m at…ha!
Tanea says
The thirties aren’t that bad! I’ll be 32 next month and feel just the same as I did in my twenties, although I think my memory is getting a little foggier! 😉
Love the shoes!
Ivana says
Congratulation Delia and thank you for this chance!!!
Pattij says
I am so in love with these shoes!! Have a Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas too.
Mandy Byron says
I love those shoes! The pattern will just barely fit my daughter though now who is 22 months. But these would make the cutest baby gifts! You are so talented. I love your blog so much!
Chelsie Brady says
I just turned 30 at the end of September. I hear that thirties are the best, so I guess we’re in luck! Happy Birthday!
Elise says
Only a year and a half until I join you in the 30s club 🙂 Love the shoe pattern!
