It is shaping up to be a lazy Sunday afternoon.  The kids have a long holiday weekend, but I have to work tomorrow. 

There is always laundry to be done and my bedroom needs some shaping up.  I plan to wander up to the third floor and get to work in my studio eventually. 

I do think I will do some reading today.  There is rain on the horizon so it’s perfect weather to curl up with a book.

Here is what’s in my book bag today.

My sketchbook that my sister made for me.

I’m really dying for spring to get here.  My gardening books help brighten up the winter months.

I never get tired at looking at Martha’s garden at Turkey Hill.

I enjoy Jennifer Weiner’s books for light reading and I love everything Frances Mayes writes.

I’m very excited about this upcoming week.  Thursday begins the Mid Atlantic Quilt Festival right here in Hampton at the convention center.  I don’t attend any of the many classes, I just go for the shopping! 

I am however really looking forward to this special exhibit:
