A Good Weekend

This past Saturday I turned 43.... 

No celebrations or parties~ just a nice quiet day at home, 

which for me is a perfect way to spend any day. 

I did splurge on a few things for myself..... 

Hubby took off from work on Friday so we could run some errands together 

and along the way I stopped at a neat little fabric/quilt shop that just opened in Knoxville. 

I bought some new fabric (*squeal*), some thread, and a couple of books. 

This place had such a wonderful selection of fabric that I could have bought lots more, 

but I was a good girl.... :)

I also bought a pair of appliqué scissors~ I've been wanting a pair of these for a while now. 

On Saturday morning, we had pecan waffles for breakfast.....

I spent the rest of the morning doing a little housework; 

once that was done, I sewed to my hearts content.

Lily likes to be lazy on Saturdays. Actually, she likes to be lazy every day.

On Saturday, football is the only thing on TV at our house....

It was a wonderful Birthday!

Storm update~ so far, we've just had lots of rain and strong wind from Hurricane Sandy, 

but the Smoky Mountains (which is less than an hour from us) has 2 feet of snow so far, 

with more to come.

Sending prayers for all those who were/are in Sandy's way.....
