Vera Wannabuts

I've really enjoyed rehabbing the Vera Bradley bags I've thrifted in the past, and while I don't strictly need more, I thought I might try and thrift some in need of repair, that I could makeover, or in colors I like but don't have, as was the case with this one.

I'm only willing to pay the minimum for them, however. If I'm lucky enough to win a big lot like this one, the ones I don't want to keep I will be donating to a church thrift store that helps families in our local community.

Big lots tend to draw a lot of bids, so I probably won't get the larger ones. I do like that bag and matching wallet, however, so maybe that will come my way. Stay tuned to find out if I win any of them.

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.
