Multithrifts

I had some 4" X 6" photos I wanted to frame, so we took a trip over to our local Goodwill where I purchased a bag of small frames.

For $4.99 I got eight picture frames, three prints that I can remove to use their frames, and a little framed mirror.

I need to use cups with lids on them because my arthritis makes it hard for me to hold drinks steady when I walk, especially hot drinks like tea and coffee. Having just cleaned all the carpets, and not wanting to dribble new tea and coffee stains on them, I bid on and won a 5 lbs. lot of reusable Starbucks tumblers and coffee cups with lids.

That worked out to 20 tumblers, including 12 of these coffee cups which are in mint condition. I paid $9.99 for the lot.

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.
