Thrifty Tuesday

 

I have been using up food leftovers this week as well as fabric and yarn. It has been a good week.


Leftover food has been bagged up and put in the freezer and used to make other meals with even more leftovers. Those come in handy on days where I really don't feel like cooking a whole meal from scratch.


I have almost finished Harvey's Christmas sweater which has used up two very large balls of yarn that have been in my stash for awhile.


I made the beeswax wraps from cotton fabric I have had in my fabric stash for a bit. This is another Christmas gift for our two sons completed.


I mended my favourite bra this morning. The underwire was poking through so I pushed and prodded it back in the pocket and stitched the opening closed.


Everybody have a wonderful evening. 


God bless.

  1. I just hate it when the wires poke through my bra.

  2. I love leftovers too but we eat them up rather than freeze them. I never make more than 2 meals, maybe 3, it seems.
    Beeswax melts? Have to look that up! :)

    1. Darn, I meant wraps not melts. Going to fix that right now.

      God bless.

    2. I've got a roast beef in the slow cooker at the moment, and while I enjoy the first meal, I like the leftovers ground up and made into shepherd's pie even better. I did chop up a couple of leftover chicken breasts and tossed in the freezer. I'll use those next week for Chinese fried rice. Sadly, though I do tend to through out more food than I'd like.

      Take care and stay well!

  3. Well done on the bra repair, I have a mark where one of mine stuck me years ago, stopped wearing boned bras now. much more comfy for me.

  4. I took out a large package of boneless chicken breasts, bought at 50% off of course and we had a chicken Alfredo dish Monday and Tuesday. Just roasted the rest of them and will make up a couple of large pans of enchiladas. One to freeze one to eat.

  5. I an going to try the beeswax covers. I am trying the beads instead of shredding them. Bras should be double or even triple stitched over those wires. Hate them to pieces. Cheers. Jean
