A Day Away

My guy took me away for a day to have lunch at one of our favorite deli places. This was a real treat for me.

We then drove on to the candy outlet where I buy the sugarfree candy I can have, much of which isn't even sold in stores around our home. Hansel and Gretel would love this place.

On our way home the alternator on my car decided to die and we were stuck for a while(I didn't take pictures of this disaster.) I took refuge inside a nearby drugstore for a while to keep my candy from melting.

I had a lot of candy to save, too, as you can see. We only go to the outlet once or twice a year, so I buy our favorites in bulk.

Anyway, while we were waiting for the tow truck so many people stopped to offer to help us we were truly stunned. Even the tow truck driver was super nice, and we had a great talk with him on the way home. The candy survived without melting as well. So all in all an interesting day away that restored a little of my faith in humanity.

Stuff

After finding this Caron one pound skein of lovely peach yarn in my thrifted lot I raided my stash for two cakes of Mandala in Pegasus, which matches it perfectly. For practice and hand therapy I'm going to make another Worth Street Afghan with this free pattern , but this time I'll use the yarn that was recommended for it plus the one pound skein. I'm not quite ready to do the vintage/recycled linen quilt I had planned (still a bit too nervous about the idea), so I'm going to use some color therapy and make a quilt from these thrifted green fat quarters. I considered doing another Yellow Brick road patchwork pattern, but I might go with a split rail fence like this one.

Best Thrifts of the Year, Part Two

Today I'm looking back at my best thrifts of the year to date in fabric. #4 is this collection of quilt kits, as it's the one that was the biggest surprise and also made me very happy, as I'd missed out on a similar lot that ended up going for a lot more at auction. #3 is this box of scrap fabric which I bought for $3.99 last month. I didn't post about it on the blog, as I just got around to sorting and measuring it. All together it's 54.35 yards, which works out to seven cents a yard. #2 is the lot with which I won my thrifting challenge bet. It was in brand new condition and will be making some local quilters very happy at this year's guild show. #1 is of course the enormous 103+ yards lot I bought for $15.00, which is still the largest and best thrifted fabric haul I've made to date.

Better than Fried

I cut some chives from the kitchen garden to make garlic-chive baked fries for dinner. This is a great side dish for veggie burgers. Click here for the recipe from Taste of Home.com.
