Today was the opening day of one of my favorite rummage sales..... This time they did not have as much as they usually have. In fact the tables were quite bare. I did manage to find a few craft items and books though.
Two fairly large pieces of fabric, six books for my winter reading, and twelve balls of what was my mother's favorite yarn to knit with. All for a total cost of..... $7.00.
There was a box of scraps there as well that I was tempted to purchase, but really I have more than enough scraps of my own to make quilts with. However if that box is still there tomorrow after I finish work it may just be coming home with me.....
Everybody have a wonderful evening.
God bless.

A Day Of Thrifting and Other Such Things
A fog filled the valley on quiet cat's paws. I sat and drank my coffee and watched it slowly disappear. Just awesome!!! Watching the fog weave its way down the valley was something I don't get to see very often.
Then my day started.
I needed to go and get some papers photocopied at the church offices in the afternoon and found out that Pro Life was having their garage sale.
I decided to go a bit early so that I could visit the sale and look for craft supplies. I did find a few things.
A bag of fuzzy pink yarn. There is enough here to make a cowl or even some slippers and mitts for the winter ahead. Four full balls and two half balls.... Just perfect.
A full cross stitch kit with the fabric and threads. It also contained an extra package of cross stitch material and hoop.
I also found these two stamped embroidery fabrics.
It is hard to see the stamps on the fabric, but I am going to be busy this winter. One is little kittens and the other is flowers and vines. The kittens I can use as part of a quilt later on (I think Kris would enjoy one with these as the middle blocks), and the other is vines and flowers that could be used as a dresser scarf.. or.... I have an idea and if it works I will share once it is done.
All of these for $7.00. Not too bad since the yarn would have cost that much in the store, and the cross stitch kit even more.
Supper was something very new.
There is enough sauce left to use as a marinade for another meal, and it is residing in the freezer as I type. I used some chicken legs from the freezer that I bought on deep discount. A very frugal meal for Harvey and I.
Everybody have a wonderful evening.
God bless.
