Four Journals

I burn through a lot of journals every year, and they're not getting any cheaper, so being able to thrift these four made me quite happy. Two are guided (the big goals on the left and the Be Happy second from the right) which just means they have prompts or questions to answer; the other two are blank.

The cat cover journal is missing a few pages at the front; likely someone tore them out before donating it. I don't mind; this will make an excellent journal to carry in my purse.

The Be Happy journal has a religious theme, which I also don't mind (you say God, I say Universe or Fate) and I like the theme; it's very upbeat. This might even be a gratitude journal, and it doesn't hurt to remember to be thankful.

All the pages in the blue wrapped seahorse journal look like this. Love it.

The goals journal has some funny and inspiring quotes on every left page, as well as list planner pages on the right. I like making goal lists so I might use this one for my monthly creative projects.

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.

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.

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.
