Saturday

Garage Sales!! + rest of day

Its that time of year for garage sales.

I had a great plan for today.The list of yard sales that looked great but ... It didn't work. My map was way off. I visited two that were in sketchy neighborhoods and decided that was that, no more from my list. BUT there was a huge sign at the intersection so I decided to just see what I could find. An entire neighborhood was having a sale,20 homes or more. I parked at one end and walked most of it. I found some craft stuff, a few odds and ends and one shelf that I am planning to recycle into something new. Once there I headed to the other side of town and across for the craft store ....

Across the street a church was having their rummage sale . I got slightly side tracked.The people were helpful, it was well organized and .. They were doing $2 a bag , whatever you can stuff into the bag counted ( and they meant stuffed). I got 2 bags, one with mostly books about embroidery and the other mostly jeans. The denim is for a quilt. The books are for inspiration, ideas,and instruction. And I found a mostly finished embroidery project that just needs background stitching done. Its all fill stitch , I can do that. I am excited to see how it turns out.
After the church sale I went to the craft store and got a few odds and ends.

Time for lunch. Then home for 2 hours to work on newsletter and slides for church in the morning.Then over to the civic center for an event. The chicken and the cupcakes were very good.  Mom was exhausted so I brought her home and now its back to work on the slides. Plus planning a few ideas.
