Hmmmm... this weekend, it will still be rainy... still getting over bronchitis so I'm thinking about catching a movie or two with my dh, and moving tomato seedlings into celled trays, doing SOMETHING in the sewing room, and snuggling up in bed with a book. I will be watching the grass grow and waiting to get my new flowers in the ground.

VickiT said...

Our SUPER exciting plans this weekend consist of a drive to Starbucks for Frappuccinos since they are half price from 3pm to 5pm thru May 12th(think that was the last day). Doesn't that sound just too exicting? LOL

Seriously, we need to save money and me not leaving the house is the best way to do that, especially since the local quilt guild is having their quilt show this weekend which they have every other year. That is a very dangerous place for me to go. Hubby's car died on the interstate last week while headed to work so after a $175 tow bill (he works about 50 miles from home/explains that huge tow bill) which kinda hurt, we now have a big hurt with the need to replace his car too. ugh.

I just love this fabric. It makes me smile when I see it. As you said, it's happy.

I hope your weekend is much more exciting than ours.
