State highway officials say one lane on Interstate 630 in Little Rock will be closed this week as crews perform repairs on the pavement.
The Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department says the pavement work will affect the eastbound inside lane between the exit for Martin Luther King Jr. Drive and the interchange for Interstates 30 and 630.
Highway officials say the closure will take place Wednesday between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., weather permitting.
The department asks drivers to exercise caution when approaching and traveling through work zones.

Yeah :) Well my weekend is going to be spent trying to redo this sewing table I picked up at Goodwill. First sanding is done, now on to the next step. I have to keep my mind off of things, as the radiologist called yesterday and found a nodule in my mammogram results! URGH... Anyway, enjoy your weekend, and thanks so much for the chance!

Oooh goodie! I've been drooling over these babies for ages, hope I win one :D
Debbie above me I hope everything goes ok for you.
My weekend to do list is rather unwieldy so the highlights are a child free evening with my man on Friday :) I'm thinking romantic meal he's probably thinking uninterrupted sport on the tv bless him! Then Saturday I'm going to sew my Modern meadow FQ's into submission so wish me luck!
How about you?

Ooh ooh ooh - I would SO love to win one of these! I am working on about three quilts simultaneously as there are a whole bunch of friends about to give birth and what is a new baby without a new quilt?!

- Linda said...
Oh Cool! I have been looking at these, too. My friend has one and I haven't had a chance to try hers out yet.
This weekend I will be working on the last two blocks for a bee that I joined for Margaret's Hope Chest. These blocks are going toward quilts for children who have a parent in prison. I might also continue painting a chair that I started last weekend. I'm painting it all crazy colors. It was a whim, what can I say!

Hi Lee! Would love to win one of these babies! I put on a sweater this morning which I hadn't worn since last year only to found a little dried-on baby goop on the shoulder - made me feel slightly nostalgic for not having a shoulder-dwelling baby anymore! And not the slightest bit like I wanted to go there again. Just made me smile. And then change tops. Have a great weekend! Danielle

Thanks so much Lee to you and Accuquilt for yet another chance to win one of these awesome machines! I will be spending the weekend quilting on a show quilt for one of my friends. If I finish that I will be teaching my granddaughter to sew. She is here from Alabama for a few weeks. I brought her the end of June and told her if she came, she had to stay until the Alberta peaches came in. She didn't mind at all. So, we are looking at meeting her mommy in Commerce, GA when I go to buy peaches. We are having tons of fun!
I sure hope my number comes up this time! I would love to win a GO! Baby! :)

Hi. I haven't got any great plans for the weekend although sewing will be part of it. I am currently working on a quilt for my parents using Jo Morton fabrics - I have completed it in two halves as it is a king size quilt - I have completed one half and now have to baste the other before quilting it. I am also working on some needle turn applique - I have just discovered the back basting method used by Kay MacKenzie and am loving it. Also want to make a little fabric basket to keep my applique notions in. Thank you for the giveaway. Caroline

These little cutting machines look like so much fun! I will only be doing hand sewing this weekend. My BIL is coming to visit so I need to clean up the sewing/guest room for him. We have not seen him in a year so we are looking forward to his visit!

hello! definitely sewing this weekend for me too (my first weekend off work in ages), and dinner out... and zumba....

- Samantha said...
Wow! What a great giveaway!
This weekend I'm planning on trying my hand at some hand-quilting I've done a bunch of hand sewing through the yeas, but never quilting. I saw a Youtube video that was fantastic. It made it look less intimidating so, now I'd like to try it and practice it. Maybe I'll venture towards doing my crib quilt top by hand?!?
Also I'm excited to go to a new quilt shop. I heard about it this week, the problem is that it is about an hours drive away and I've got tons of material, thus it might take some convincing to get my guy to take me.
Finally, my guy's brother arrives on Sunday night. He's moving here for some contract work. We still aren't sure if he's staying here for the first few weeks or a hotel. I'm crossing my fingers for the hotel.

Saturday will be spent rummaging through books at two different library booksales in Connecticut. Sunday is sort of nebulous at the moment, and may include finally going back to sewing the dog costume I'm making for my brother's dog for Halloween or working on a variety of knitting projects.

Well, what a generous gift this will be for someone! I just returned from Newfoundland, I flew over with my girls to let them have a little vacation with their grandparents.

I would love, love this! I think it's going to end up on my Christmas wish list. Unless I'm the lucky winner of course ;) I'm spending the next two days (hopefully) getting 2 quilts basted and quilted while also packing for my family of 4 (2 under 3) to drive 9 hrs in the car, with my parents, to spend a week at the beach with my entire extended family. I'm tired just thinking about it! But also super excited! Thanks for the chance to win. :)

I'm puppy-sitting this week and, as much as I love her, Mia gets up at the crack o' dawn because she wants to patrol the backyard and keep the impertinent squirrels from partying. Mia's daddy will pick her up sometime on Saturday... so I'm planning an afternoon nap followed by sleeping in on Sunday morning. *lol* Otherwise, I'm quilting my latest project...

I'll be working on The Summer Sampler Series. I purchased my fabric yesterday. Now I just need to complete the three blocks. I also need to bind a quilt. If there is time I'll begin cutting for another quilt. And, most important I'll be welcoming my two oldest children home from their respective summer trips away from home. I miss those kids.

Thanks for the giveaway offer, Lee! My weekend will be somewhat child-free for the first time in, well, a looooong time. My older boys will be having a sleepover with Grams. My youngest will get to spend some time with a good friend and her kids on Saturday, while the hubster and I get to go to lunch in a real restaurant sans kiddies! And then we might get to walk around the Byward Market, just browsing, or go to the Art Gallery. Simple, but nonetheless wonderful pleasures. I can't wait! :) Hope your weekend is fabulous!

Hi - my wedding anniversary tomorrow but we have no plans yet. Saturday I am having a quilting day - with a bit of luck I plan to get borders on a hand pieced quilt I've nearly done and get it backed ready for machine quilting. It's been in progress quite some time and I'm not sure I even like it any longer - lol - but I want it done. Thanks for this chance to win and I've had a really good time reading the other comments and seeing what everyones up to xxx

Just one thing they did? My kids are always doing crazy things. Yesterday they ran circles around the car playing hide and seek (they don't quite get the concept). That was after I made them stop throwing their plastic golf club into the bushes from the front step. I still haven't figured out what was fun about that...

My husband is on call this weekend for work; so, we're sticking close to home. I most likely will go to a nearby hallmark store for the ornament premier and go to a nearby Half-Price bookstore because I have both books to sell and a 40% coupon.
Also, I'd like to work on finishing up the DIY nightstand and work on the sampler quilt. Or, maybe I will continue crash cleaning (trashing, Goodwilling, or Craigslisting stuff) in an attempt to simplify our lives. It all depends on what I feel like doing.
I think that is more than what you wanted to hear. Ha! :-)

Hi Lee! I'm breathing a huge sigh of relief that I finished my Snowflake Medallion quilt in time to enter in our state fair. It's been fun this week to turn my attention to modern quilt making. I've been piecing a top with DS Collection prints, and white and pink solids. My own design! Fun stuff.
Thanks for this super giveaway... and for NOT making us jump through nine hoops to enter!

I'd love a chance to play with a Baby GO! I'll be spending my weekend helping my brother fix up his new fixer-upper. And by "fix up," I mean "make liveable" which is key since I'll be living there for a couple weeks this summer, or should be living there, if it's liveable...

It's that time of year for me...starting to get my classroom ready for the start of school. It is always sad that it comes early. So this weekend I will be getting things ready for my class...luckily it does involve sewing a few floor pillows. : )

Sadly I might not hear the hum of the sewing machine this weekend because it's in for maintenance, but it's a perfect opportunity to clean up and organize my sewing table. I'm afraid the dust bunnies have taken over. firstname.lastname@example.com

This weekend I plan to ride my bike at least 25 miles, maybe 45, around beautiful Lake Country in Oconomowoc, WI. After that, I'm hoping to soak in the tub and read a book to recover! Some family time is in order too and some quilting time. Should be a great weekend!

Last weekend was kinda hectic. It felt like we all had to be in different places at different times and it just wasn't really a weekend. This week has been much the same, so my hopes for the weekend are that we chill out, together. If the weather co-operates, we might head to the beach, if the weather doesn't co-operate then we might head to the forest. But whatever we do, we will not be rushing, or stressing, or being cross. Fingers crossed :-)
Thanks so much for the chance to win :-)

Right now I'm finishing the handstitching to bind a small baby quilt for a baby born three weeks ago. I hope to finish it, put the label on, and wash it this weekend to take over next week. This weekend is my first weekend home in a month so we'll be doing household stuff, working the dogs, and playing video games. And I'm going to either pull fabrics and start cutting for my next quilt, or put the border on a UFO quilt top that was on hold for two baby quilts in the past two months.

Tomorrow we're driving with friends to tour the Dogfish Head brewery in Delaware. This weekend we'll go to the farmers market and keep working on packing up out house because we're moving in 4-5 weeks. Yeah, you do the math. It's a race to see who gets here first new house, or baby boy! Now, I've got to pry myself away from the internet and work on this quilt for little man.

Great giveaway! I'm finally finishing the very first quilt I ever made with triangles! I HATE it! It is so badly pieced-nothing matches up- and the colors are horrid. It was my first one- I didn't know what I was doing!! However, my boyfriend LOVES it and has been begging me for the past 5 years to finish it for him. So, finally, I'm finishing it!

Hmmm...a crazy thing that my 10 year old son did...somehow his door got locked last night while we are staying at my parents' house. He was sound asleep and nothing will wake him up, not to mention he had music blaring and the light on. After trying to remove the door knob to unlock it unsuccessfully, I took a ladder from the garage and climbed up to his window at midnight in my pajamas. Thankfully the window was unlocked, so I opened it up and finally got him to wake up and open up his door. I made sure to have a bit of fun along the way and made some spooky ghost noises. It was such a comical situation! I felt a bit like a burglar. I hope the neighbors weren't watching!!
And by the way, I would L.O.V.E. to win this awesome tool! Thanks so much!

This weekend is packed! A little time with a new baby niece, prep for my wee one's first birthday, and some gardening. Our first tomatoes of the season should be perfectly red this weekend!! Hooray!!!
After being pretty dubious, I am coming around to the GO Baby. I think that I could put this baby to good use and I love the idea that it can make funky shape cutting so much easier.

We are headed out on vacation this weekend for our annual Oregon Dunes rendezvous. Which really means let's meet up with college friends, drink beer, and ride quads (although not in that order).

My daughter is almost 3 and we've been with her in the bank. I asked her "what you should say?". I was hoping she'll say "Hello" or something like this, but she said to the lady in the bank: "I want money!".

I think I would really like to own one of these machines, and give it a try. No big plans for the weekend, it's supposed to be really hot, near or over 100, so I'll be staying inside and sewing. Thanks!

Divorce Basics
For most divorcing couples, the single best thing they can do—for the sake of their children, their future relationship, and their wallets—is to keep the process as civil as possible. Fighting about child custody, child support, or alimony in court guarantees big legal bills, bitterness, and anguished children.
That means that choosing the right lawyer is very important. You want someone who can help you keep things calm—but also protect your rights and those of your children. Many lawyers, whether or not they are also trained mediators, can help you negotiate with your spouse and work out the big issues of child custody, support, and property division. So when you interview lawyers, talk to them about negotiating a settlement rather than fighting it out in court.
Unfortunately, it's not always possible to keep a divorce amicable. If your spouse is being dishonest or vindictive, or there has been abuse, a lawyer can help you get protect yourself and your children. And if your spouse hires an especially aggressive lawyer, you'll need someone representing you who can fight back.
Do you and your spouse each need a lawyer?
If you and your spouse do agree on all the big issues, can you just hire one lawyer to draw up the paperwork, and save yourselves some save money and hassle? Because lawyers have a duty to represent every client zealously, one lawyer may represent both of you only if you and your spouse:
- agree on the major issues
- are confident you can work out any minor problems that come up
- understand that the lawyer cannot fully represent both of you under the circumstances, and
- just want the lawyer to do the paperwork.
You'll need to agree to these conditions in writing. And if a disagreement does arise, the lawyer will have to transfer at least one of you to another lawyer. Both of you may need to get new lawyers if it would be unfair for the first lawyer to continue to represent one of you.
Collaborative Divorce Lawyers
More and more family lawyers are trained in the techniques of "collaborative divorce." Each spouse hires an attorney, but everyone agrees that they will share information voluntarily and work cooperatively toward a settlement instead of fighting in court. The lawyers also agree that if the case can't be settled, you and your spouse must hire other lawyers to handle the litigation. This removes the lawyers' financial incentive to go to court--and encourages everyone to settle earlier.
