The Weekend at Our House.....

I came home from work on Friday with my Magazine and a gift from my son. Like I've said before--- birthdays just last longer in our house, "Mom, it was backordered..."

A cup of coffee and a porch swing and I killed two hours.  Now the magazine has ruffled corners because I literally carry it wherever I go,  Great issue---get it.

I went to Green Bay and Appleton on Saturday.  Stopped in at Primitive Gatherings.  They are remodelling-- but it's really going to be nice.  The staff was nice and helpful---kind of rolling with the construction. I can't believe I just walked out of there with a spool of thread and 2 balls of perle cotton.

At a shop I found a snow hat on clearance---While I won't appreciate now, I'll tuck it away for snow days ahead.

I found a pair of shoes-- I'm showing them because they look like lace fabric... I can't wait to wear them.


We have warm days-- and then snow flurries--The weather is real hard on Ransom, my pup.  Who am I kidding-- this time of year the weather is hard on everyone!! My Hostas, Tulips, and Lily of the Valley are poking up... I just have to hang on....

I'm not much of a Pottery Barn girl---well, I am, but the pocket book is not.  Satuday I went in to wish and found a seventy dollar basket clearance for 27.00. 




It will be perfect for the buggy this summer.  It's about 30 inches tall and 28 inches wide.  And a bargin...

Eric's quilt is on the frame... I just might get it done before he graduates May 4th. Speaking of which, I have extra minutes this morning, I need to go quilt.....

I have a subscription to the magazine. There are some good projects in it this time. I don't know which one interests me the most. I can't play with my wool right now with company here but I think one of the wool projects would be a good start. A thoughtful gift from your son!

I was actually heading to Primitive Gatherings myself on Friday but decided against it and just had them send me my BOM's that I pick up usually. I decided I had better be good! No temptations :o) I am looking forward to see their remodeling. And I planted some grass seed, hoping it can hold on through some of these cold temps!

What a precious post! I love the shoes, too.

Can't wait to check out Prim Gatherings with you one of these days.
