I heart weekends!

Wow, what a weekend! I love my weekends! Especially this weekend....beautiful weather, great company, and finishing projects...I love it! I am also working on learning new things to spruce up my blog...do you like my collage? It is from my weekend hike with pal Rachel at Oak Mountain State Park. The weather was perfect, not too hot and overcast. Very unseasonable for February and I sure did try to get outdoors to enjoy the warmth. It was my first visit to Oak Mountain (crazy, I know...I have lived here for almost 4 years) and we had a little struggle finding the trails. After walking in a circle (darn, yellow trail!) and deciding to eat our picnic lunch, we finally found the green trail to make our way to Peavine Falls. I can't wait to go back out to the park when the trees are green and things are blooming!

And yes, these are different flowers from an earlier post this week. I received some additional Valentine's love on Friday when this second bouquet came. I was totally shocked! I have the best sister in law in the world to think of me and send me more when the first delivery went sour (booo fed ex!). It was definitely perfect timing because my week was pretty intense. I love unexpected moments like this! I have enjoyed them all weekend, and will continue to enjoy them next week too! Apparently Starbucks felt the need to get into the business of double surprises as well because in my mail on Friday was a second birthday free drink coupon! I will happily celebrate my birthday (again!) with them one morning this week :)

And I finally finished a night shirt that I started on the snow day back in January. This project has just been hanging on my chair for over a month begging to be completed. I forced myself to finish it because I need to switch out my bobbin on my sewing machine and hate to be so

close to finishing and not do it! It was super easy and my first real attempt at sewing with my new machine (I got it for Christmas). The instructions are from the website Sew Mama Sew. This is a great site with fabric, tutorials, and other super cute stuff. This project is called the Super Simple Nightie. I kind of ran into a little trouble since I chose stripes so mine is a little shorter than they suggest. Of course my sewing lines aren't very straight and it's a little big, but it's for sleeping so I think it's perfect!

Sweet dreams!
