Weekend Fun and Things You could Do??

Its Saturday, as my sis and I refer to "work and play day" we have a line for each day of the week...I like Saturdays because I can choose to work or play, at he moment I am working at catching up on email, believe me that is work, and also my blogs...that is definitely a timely matter..Here are some ideas you can work or play with today:

1. Get out and take a brisk walk ....its great for your health especially your heart
2. make a new craft...I love this place for finding fun things to do
3. take out one of your hobbies, knitting, crocheting, quilting, sewing, scrapbooking, anything you love to do and work on it, but limit your time so that it doesn't consume your entire day, that way you have fun and yet have time for doing other things during the day
4. clean out one of those closets that are haunting you...I have several. :(
5. mop the floor then go to lunch with a friend or two, maybe go to a restuarant you have been longing to go to its a great time to catch up on all the gossip
6. get out the bike and wipe off the cobwebs and take a little ride around the neighborhood, that of course is for the people that live in torerable weather states, for others that do not, maybe you could build a snowman and enjoy your talents with decorating him in all the right trimmings. :)
7. bake some chocolate chip cookies and curl up with a warm lapghan in front of your fireplace or stick in one of those fireplace cds and read a good book that you have been putting off because of not enough time
8. reorganize your kitchen cupboards adding some great new shelf liner paper
9. replant and fertilize those inside plants that are looking a little droopy
10. grab a friend or sister and go to your local home improvement store and check out the new lawn furniture and bar b ques for upcoming springtime, maybe even some great plants and get a new inside one for one of those bright windows it is never too early to start planning for the spring or get a new hanger [do people still hang plants?] and add a new one to one of those empty corners and enjoy the benefits plants give to us. Did you know that plants purify the air, they are not only pleasing to look at but they help us breathe too!

I hope this has helped everyone for your Saturday...me I am going to mop up the kitchen and heading off to lunch with a friend....bon appitte.... :)

My Yarn Store Find and the Starburst Dish Cloth

I was visiting The Kidney Bean and she had some really pretty dishcloth designs on her blog that she got the star burst from My Tangled Threads off of Ravelry, her dishcloth is beautiful and the others she made are wonderful, be sure to hop over and take a look, they are fantastic, but the most amazing thing was the You Tube on the French Knitting Ski Story. You have to watch this video and remember that all the frames were knitted!!!

Sunday my local knit/crochet group went on a field trip and hit a couple yarn stores. I know I said no more yarn..... but I just couldn't resist. I actually bought 2 kits that I fell in love with. They are two bags, one is a shopping bag, and the other is a Hobo bag! As you can see the Hobo Bag I have already started. The colors were absolutely bright and what I called "smile" yarn. Yarn that makes you feel good... And then I got a couple of cute books to make the monkeys out of socks, and an older one on some unique projects. I also found a cute crochet top that I loved in one of th eold books and got some pretty teal Auntie cotton that will look great I think. What do you think?
