If you’re happy and you know it clap your hands! {clap clap} Yay, It’s Friday! It’s Friday! La la la la la! Twirl around and sing with me… Yes I’m nuts but I’m completely happy imagining two full days without an ounce of work to do and lots of fun plans. I will paint some more mini paintings this weekend, hit the flea market in the morning, attend a big dinner party tomorrow night, and on Sunday I’ll spend time with a friend watching movies and sharing a meal here in my apartment. I’m so excited for the weekend to start.
Next week on decor8 I will host a contest where you can win an amazing book all about creativity, launching a successful career as a creative, working on the left brain as you continue to develop the right…. wow I could go on forever about this newly released book but I’m not going to say another word until Monday morning, November 24th. Then the contest will be posted and 5 winners will be selected and announced on Thursday so make sure you visit on Monday to see what the contest thing-y is all about. You’ll like it, I promise.
What do you plan to do this weekend? Write your list here and return on Monday to report in on your progress if you’d like. I’ll do the same. Keeps us accountable I think. See you in a few days!

What do you plan to do this weekend?
Faye & I will attend this years Brickbottom Open Studios (http://brickbottomartists.com). Brickbottom is a sprawling complex of buildings with beautiful lofts and talented artists. It’s our favorite open studio event of the year. Besides the Fort Point open studios. And the Distillery Open Studios. Always a fun time! Have a great weekend.

I’m with you, yippeee for the weekend! Here’s my plan:
- I’m feeling brave and will try my hand at meringue
- paint the trim, doors and closet doors in our bedrooms
- organize Sweetboy’s closet because I’m tired of things falling on my head in there!
I think that’s it. Today was supposed to be productive but instead I watched three netflix movies :) i love to lounge :)

I plan on sanding and painting and reupholstering my bamboo chair I just bought on ebay, hanging the headboard I upholstered last week and lacquering my vanity (photos on my blog) all while cleaning up the house, getting ready for guests next week! Wish me luck! Have a great weekend everyone!

Here’s my list – I’ll check in on Monday to see what I got done!
1) finish painting the kitchen drawers
2) put handles on the cabinet doors & drawers
3) put doors up *voila!* and take pictures of the finished kitchen to send to my sister in law, who has been in suspense over this project for days now!
4) clean out my photo storage area so I can put up a mock booth to practice for the Foundry Show
5) take a walk in the woods with my hubby

Me…off to work. I’m a flight attendant so weekends have no meaning to me:) However, while on my layover will be “trying” to finish knitting a super long scarf I’m making & hopefully buy more yarn at my destination. Have a great weekend!

Oops! I hope I’m not too late on this one – today (Saturday) I have managed to do all the things I was hoping to do (go for a run, go to the library for my next college assignment, get the ingredients for Christmas pudding and hang a couple of pictures); this evening I’ll be babysitting, so I plan to read some of the books I got out of the library and do some work on that. Tomorrow, as well as continuing my college work, I plan to make my Christmas pudding, write a blog post about it and make a pencil case out of some super fabric I got last weekend. I hope everyone’s weekend is going well!

I will be taking my 6-year old to a community movie-viewing, taking her to horse-riding lessons and bowling party and try to squeeze in time to work on my canvas and go for a nice long 7 mile run in the woods.

happy weekend!
November 24th, 2008 at 7:51 am
Good morning! I managed to make my Christmas pud and pencil case, but then spent about 2.5 hrs wrestling with my internet to write blog posts about them! I’m now about to settle down to some more college work.
How did everyone else get on?

Following up from the weekend and my to-do list (I’m comment #2 above) – yeah…I didn’t get any of that done. Instead I shopped for some much needed clothes, crocheted two cowboy hats for my nephews for Xmas and began knitting flowers that I will sew on to the sleeve of a sweater for my holiday party. I also ate too much, tried to put out the fire that burned my neighbor’s shed to the ground (my hose didn’t do much but I tried) and took my Mom to lunch. All in all, still a very productive weekend!
