Bundle Savings

I mostly live in leggings, and I've lost so much weight over the years that none of my old dress pants fit anymore. For a few reasons soon I will need some nice clothes to wear out, so I decided to thrift some pants in my current size. There wasn't anything at our local Goodwill stores, but I found a bundle online that looked in good shape, and decided to take a chance on them with a very minimal bid.

No one challenged me, so I won the bundle, which arrived a few days later.

I was really happy that my gamble paid off. All of the pants fit me, and are in like new condition. They have lables like Shein, Karen Scott and JL, and none need to be dry cleaned (always a plus in my book.) I like the colors and prints, too. The floral capris are a bit flimsy to wear out of the house, and I'm not fond of capris, so I might alter those into pajama shorts. I'd put a resale price of $35.00 on everything. I paid $6.99 for the lot. Savings: $28.01.

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.

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.

In the Kitchen Garden

Our strawberries are taking over the kitchen garden, but I don't mind. This week I want to make some strawberry banana nice cream (a vegan version of ice cream) and maybe a chocolate cake with berries and cream for the topping. There's thyme in the garden now, too, which I'll dry and jar for cooking along with the chives and the oregano. Next we'll plant cucumbers, as I use a ton of those in our salads and for snacks.
