Shopping!

I went out with DH for a few quick stops, and he made the mistake of letting me shop. >:)

I got sulky threads, rotary blades, a pillow form for my Hawaiian project with Kimberly, and fabric for new pants for work (trying to get my old pants to fit was like playing the lottery - very slim chance - emphasis on slim! NOT!), all on sale!!!!

Also, got foam brushes on huge sale at Michael's, some fabric paints and a book on putting them to use (50% off with my coupon!), a little summer hat to dye up, stickers for my students (hight school kids love them, even though they think that they are for kids) and some wire for my wierd quilt challenge. Yes, I know I said I wasn't going to buy anything for that challenge, but if I didn't, I would have used much more expensive wire that I *do* have, and that would have just been a waste of money.

On other notes? We've gone back in time here in VT - from 90 degrees last week, to 50s and flooding this week! Also - Batman Begins is BY FAR the best Batman movie to date. I could have done without the snarly lip, but WAY good!!! BTW - I am very happy for Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise, and I hope their love and marriage last until they are both old and gray. It is nice to see folks genuininely, stupidly happy. Especially Hollywood folks - it must get so easy to become jaded.

I made a present for some friends who are getting married this weekend, and I am wondering if the idea is marketable. Simple and sweet, and requiring of specialized knowledge that I possess. >:) So, I'm not going to tell you what it is, since I know how many millions of you read this, and you are NOT all cool, honest QA people who wouldn't steal my idea! Hmph!
