The weekend wrap-up

[agt_spooky]

First, I ended up selling a whopping 68 bundt cakes at work on Friday. Made over $100! Score! The feedback I've been getting this morning has been awesome, with everyone having eaten them over the weekend. My next bake sale will be in three weeks. I'm creating a new pumpkin flavored one with cream cheese icing. Yum!

Holy crap did it get cold here over the weekend! Snow flurries on Saturday! Thankfully not by me, but further north. We had gray skies, wind and rain off and on. A very depressing day.

John and I had planned on doing several errands but instead opted to just stay indoors. Which actually worked out fine, as I was able to get a project accomplished for my GRL writers convention which begins next Wednesday. Other than that we just got caught up on our TV viewing. Watched the first episode of Gracepoint. It was pretty much word for word, scene for scene of the original Broadchurch. But they've promised to make the killer someone different for the remake. David Tennant sounds hysterical doing an American accent.

Weather was much better on Sunday so John and I went to the movies to see Liam Neeson's new one A Walk Among the Tombstones. It was…strange and very long. I'm not sure why we were supposed to care about these drug dealers whose wives were being killed. Gosh, try not doing something illegal that people will try and hurt you for and take your drug money! But one of the drug dealers was Supernatural's own Sebastian Roche. Was very cool to see him on the big screen.

We hit the mall next as I was on the hunt for a new comforter set for the bedroom. Now that it's finally painted I want a new decor. We've had the same blue bed set and curtains for over 7 years. Time for a change! I want to go purple/lilac this time around. Been looking for weeks and nothing. But I scored at Sears! Check it out. It's microsuede so it's really soft. And it was on clearance, too! Saved over 40% on it. Now I just need matching sheets. They only had King in the lilac.

And that was pretty much it! How was YOUR weekend?

Do you have a bed bath and beyond by you? They have purple sheets close to the same shade as the darker purple in a fabric that is so soft, yet durable and won't break the bank.

Funny that you mention them! We don’t have one very close by, but if I make a trip up to my comic book store over the weekend I’ll keep going a little further and stop in. I’m sure they’ll have the best selection of anywhere around. Especially for a color like purple!

Sounds like you're pretty busy.. The pumpkin bundt cake sounds delicious. Love the bed spread..

I wouldn’t know what to do with myself if i wasn’t working on 5 projects all at once. :-) Yeah, I think the pumpkin one will be a hit. Also thinking of doing one with dried cranberries around Thanksgiving.

Your bed looks beautiful! I love the bird pillow.
I went shopping (again)on Saturday and went to lunch with my aunt on Sunday.
I can't seem to stop myself spending money lately. Eek!

Thanks! I’m really pleased with my comforter find. :-)

Oh I know! I swear I’ll go for months without buying anything and then I go on a spending spree!

I love your new bed set! We've got a new bundt cake bakery opening up near us. My kids can't wait to give it a try.

Ooh, a bundt cake bakery?? I’m curious! Can you tell me the name?

Nothing bundt Cakes

That’s the one by my house, too! I hadn’t realized until recently that they’re franchise stores. Not to drive business to my competition *g* but they are very good cakes.

I really like your new bedspread. The colors are so nicely balanced and loved the bird on the pillow. Looked for a comforter for my guest bedroom and after looking all over found what I wanted at J.C. Penney's.
We had a beautiful weekend here without the usual rain. There were a lot of things going on but unfortunately my back and ankle were acting up again. Did finally say the hell with it and went to the art show. Those always make me want to get back to doing more painting or drawing. Going to try some mixed media next I think.

Glad you like the comforter! Still on a hunt for that sheet set and also new curtains.

I used to shop at Penny’s all the time and then the only one around here, directly across the street from where I work, that had been there since the early 80’s, up and closed about six months ago.

Gosh, I love going to art shows. I want to buy everything in sight and then like you go back home and make some of my own. :-)
