1. I've successfully made it through the Amazon blackout (3/7 - 3/14).
2. Did some thrifting at Goodwill. I bought men's 100% cotton shirts; all but one was XL or XXL, and two were the half-price color tag. Brought them home and laundered them. Next (or eventually) I will remove seams, and store the raw fabric for future quilting projects. I mean Joann Fabrics will be gone...I still haven't gone for the chaotic closing tour.
One of my granddaughters has a phobia of Goodwill (her very first time inside one was at the 'Bins,' and the chaos and the glove requirement freaked her out). Now I keep telling her that I'm going to get her Christmas and birthday gifts from there from now on. She'll never suspect that a Grandma-made quilt (or at least the raw materials [pardon the pun]) could be from Goodwill. :)
While at Goodwill I also picked up a new-in-box set of twelve wide-mouth quart Mason Jars for $9. And another vintage square jar with original lid (about 1/2 gallon size) for $3.
3. I volunteered at the library used book sale section without buying any books.
4. I didn't buy a new car yet.
5. I didn't get a haircut.
In other words I pretty much stayed home and did nothing but read. :)
