Happy Friday! Any exciting plans this weekend?
I’ve got farmers market, thrift shop, yarn shop, quilt shop, and the Pop Shop on my list. And when I’m not out gallivanting, I plan to be finishing up those three little sweaters on the top of yesterday’s list.
Those are the plans, anyway. They’re all subject to my whims, though, so we shall see…
