I had to laugh this morning when I saw Margene, Carole and Terry's posts on weekending, because I knew my post was going to be another" what did I do this weekend" post, as I have not posted since last Monday…LOL. I think I may make this my weekly Monday post. 🙂
One of the nice things about working one job is the little extra free time that I now have, especially since I am not at the computer nearly as much. Weekends have become more about relaxing and doing the things that I like to do, which is so nice!
I have been using some of that time to get reacquainted with my lonely sewing machines and I am thoroughly enjoying it.
I have to admit that once something gets stuck in my head, I obsess about it and coming up with a bigger bag is what is stuck in there now. I'm not quite there yet, but pretty darn close.:-)
Of course the one downside to coming up with something means that some fabric is getting wasted and that does make me a wee bit crazy, but then I justify it to myself by saying I can just cut it up and use it again……at least that sounds good right? LOL.
I did whip up a few of my smaller sock bags and will be working on more all week with a shop update on Friday. 🙂
There was also time for knitting. I am currently working on a shawl designed by Rose Beck called "And So Are You" . This pattern is part of a 5 pattern e-book and each pattern is so lovely….go take a peek.
I'm hoping to have this finished…maybe…next weekend. 🙂
The best part of my weekend however was spent shopping at Quilted Threads and having lunch with Terry.
Of course with bag obsession comes fabric fever…and Quilted Threads is one of my favorite quilt shops.
Having the extra time to spend with friends and doing things that I enjoy instead of working 7 days a week has made my life a much happier place to be.
I hope you had a fun weekend too!

Over the weekend I did some knitting and told myself to jump back into the blogosphere already. So far I am taking my advice.

Oh my word, those bags are the most precious things I have seen to date! I was hoping at the bottom of the post would be something along the lines of “if you would like to adopt one of these little beauties, leave a comment below regarding what their new life would be like” and I would go on a tangent about how they would be living the good life – filled with deliciously soft yarn and never left alone, constantly being admired by those around… alas, my daydreaming got the best of me once again.
Gorgeous creations – and the envy at least this little knitter.

I think I like this concept of weekending in blogging. But then all you would hear about is my paying bills or procrastinating.
