Easy Weekend

It's Saturday. For the first time in our lives, it's a day that's not hurry-hurry. We've always had jobs where we've had to be somewhere at the crack of dawn and now we don't. It's nice. Nice setting at my own kitchen table drinking some fresh brewed coffee and contemplating the rest of the day. So, this is how the rest of the world lives?

After coffee I remembered that the farmers market was going to be open today. DH thought he'd come along so he could run a few errands too. After three stops for him and my stop at walmart for brown thread (CindyB offered to fax me some but we haven't figured out how to make that technology work), we made it back home just in time for lunch.

Fresh cucumbers, yellow squash and horrible-tasting cantelope were at the market. I can eat my weight in cantelope...but not this one. The cottontail rabbits outside will get to nibble on it.

So, the day was spent with me behind my Bernina and DH and Troy in the shop working on a spray-rig to spray chemicals on weeds. The sunflower is almost finished and just needs binding. I'm thrilled. When my new digital camera comes in the mail (hopefully Monday) I'll take some pictures. It turned out better than I ever though it would.

Since I can't show you pictures of the finished-only-needs-binding sunflower, I'll show you a picture of another quilt I made awhile back. Cindy told me she was working on a quilt with polyester in it and thought I'd show this one. The back and the front solid squares are poly. It wasn't difficult to sew, but it sure brought back some memories of sewing with my Mom back in the early '70's. Do you remember those double-knit pants...yuck. I even offered to send Cindy a bunch of poly so she might make a few more poly quilts...she gave me a polite "no thank you". Some friend she is...

TCM is having a weekend of Betty Davis. After listening to her biography while I'm sewing, all I can hear is Karen Carnes' song in my head!

Hope everybody has a good weekend.
