Girls' Day Out

A friend and I went out for the afternoon. We visited our favorite yarn and quilt shops. I bought a pattern for a winter hat and one for mittens. My friend bought some yarn. It was interesting to go through the quilt shop. I looked at a longarm machine but there is NOT one of those in my future. Even if I could afford it, I wouldn't have any room for it. There is also a bead shop in that strip of stores. We perused all the beautiful beads and the samples of what you could learn to make. It was nice to get out. I've been home all week. I got a chance to see my friend's home decorated for Christmas. I always love seeing how different people decorate for this beautiful holiday. I was very warmly dressed because it was so freezing cold today. What I didn't take into consideration is that I'd be in a car with the heat on. I didn't need to be so warmly dressed. I even wore a new outfit today. I had purchased it about 2 years ago for New Year's Eve but never had an occasion to wear it until today, the day before New Year's Eve. It is royal blue, velvet pant suit with silver piping around the cuffs and the neck of the jacket. I wore a beaded silver shell underneath. I'm staying in tomorrow night and I'll be wearing my nightgown so I thought I'd dress up today instead. "Life is short", live it up!
