Thrifty Tuesday

 

Good morning everyone. I am going to try something a bit differently, something I first did when I started my blogging journey. I used to post before I headed out to work in the morning and that is what I am going to try and start once again. Well, at least while the weather is frost bite inducing and I plan on walking inside. Then visit all of you a bit later in the day.

So what thriftiness have I been up to this week???? With the boys being home I did a bit of mending for them, sewed on some buttons, fixed a hem that kind of thing.

I did a bit of darning for myself and have marked some seams to take in a top (if it works I have another exactly like it in a different colour that I will do as well).

I am using up bits and bobs from the fridge and fridge freezer.

Rather than buying or making an appetizer for our get together, I took loads of my homemade candy and squares. They were a big hit.

I asked Harvey to make me something to put my vinyl rolls on for storage (they were scattered all over the sewing/craft room) for my birthday. So he got to use up bits and bobs of lumber in his workroom as well. I got my gift a bit early and now it is hanging up and covered with said vinyl.

I downloaded some free and inexpensive reading material. That should keep me happily bedtime reading for awhile.

Still saving twist ties and plastic produce bags. 

Hopefully this posts as blogger seems to be acting very strangely.

Everybody have a wonderful day.

God bless.
