My sack held all red, white, and blue scraps. I made a miniature quilt (slightly larger than a hot pad). It was not my best work. But it was fun! :) And it was frugal, because everything (fabric, embellishments, and batting) was donated by the two ladies (who planned the activity) from their scrap collections. The use of the library meeting room is free. Such a fun group.
After I got home, Caitlyn dropped by, saw the 'hot pad,' thought it was cute, and took it home with her.
2. Before I left the library, I remembered to pick up a book I had on reserve. Saved a trip.
3. One-skillet meal on Wednesday from items on hand that needed using. Sausage from freezer, head of cabbage from over purchase, apples from fridge, at the last minute I saw the half jar of leftover Alfredo Sauce in fridge from Monday's supper, and decided to add it so it wouldn't go to waste. It actually wasn't bad.
4. Still haven't gotten a hair cut...but it's gotta be soon!
5. Amazon First Reads has been hit or miss for me lately...mostly miss. This month had a pre-release book that sounded interesting. I'm reading it now. First Reads are a selection of books each month that haven't released yet, from which Prime members can select one for free. I think the hope is that early readers will leave customer reviews.
