A Good Weekend

I saw this recipe on "Posy Gets Cozy". This is one of my favorite blogs. This is Alicia's Oatmeal Bread. It is wonderful! I made this loaf on Saturday night, and it was gone before noon on Sunday. I just pulled a second loaf out of the oven. We'll see how long this one lasts.
















I started my weekend having lunch on Friday with a friend I have had....forever! Well, at least since ninth grade. We talked and laughed and talked and laughed. After lunch, we stopped at a wonderful fabric store. Outside it was snowing like crazy, but inside that store all I could think of was spring. I couldn't resist this Amy Butler fabric. Now I just need to decide what I want to make with it. My daughter suggested an apron, but I'm thinking a cute skirt or a summer dress.

Once I got home, I was all excited about sewing so I got to work on the "Practical Bag" by Grand Revival that I had already cut out. I used some fabric from Heather Bailey's Nicey Jane collection. I love that fabric!

This is the second "practical bag" I have made. It goes together pretty quickly, and it's a perfect size.
