Did you make it by Hancock's this week? Simplicity and Butterick patterns were on sale for a steal!

I make it a point to get by every time they have a $1 pattern sale because the minute I actually need a particular pattern, it will be full price.

One of my purchases this week was Simplicity 1804, a very simple pattern with a lot of great options.

Returning to Downtown Macon's Friday Fest will be the Sombrero Scavenger Hunt, where individuals can take photos in front of 'First Friday Hotspots' in sombreros, a NewTown Macon news release says.

Folks can then email the photos in for a chance to win a Flip camera.

The sombrero fun happens Friday, May 4.

Free sombreros and game cards will be available at Robins Federal Credit Union downtown location the week of April 30. You can also pick up sombreros and game cards at a tent in Third Street park from 6-8 on Friday.

Those who participate will need to find five of the ten hotspots based on clues from the game cards, take photos with sombreros, and send the photos to MaconFridayFest@gmail.com for a chance to win the flip camera.
