Well, 2008 is coming to a close soon. Anyone have any big and exciting plans so that I can pretend to join you?! We're not doing anything. My husband has to work during the day and the weather people are calling for the "S" word. If I say it out loud, it may happen so I say nothing. I'll have to update you tomorrow since I'm writing this a day in advance; I have some downtime. Punkie is with my MIL for a couple of hours.
So, back to big and exciting plans. I got none. I'm probably going to cook dinner and maybe watch a movie with my husband once Amelia goes to bed. Real exciting. NOT. I did have plans to take a ride to Joann's since they are having a pretty good sale that starts on the 31st. We'll see how the weather is.
Okay, here are a couple pictures of my new plant stand and wagon from Monday's auction. I would have taken a picture of our awesomly priced bunk bed but I have no idea where my husband put it. I think it's in the barn. I just love the wagon. I love it when my husband surprises me like that. I didn't even see it in the all auction stuff. Good eye!
I bought myself this book off of etsy.com a few weeks ago. The picture on the front did me in. I love the bright colors and cuteness factor of the pincushions. Today, since I had some downtime, I took a ride to my local Salvation Army Thrift store to see if I can get any wool garments to felt. I'm ready to try something new. I did get a whole bag full of sweaters for $28.00, so not bad. But nothing in the pretty bright colors like on the cover of the book. I got a few black, a light blue, a pinky purple... a cream, a gray and an assorted one, mostly on the gray side. They did have some ladies wool suit jackets there but I didn't know if they would be suitable once felted for my pincushion project. And those were in pretty bright colors. I'll think about it and maybe I'll go back this weekend. Now I have to read on how to actually felt these sweaters and see what I'm up aganist.
That's all from me. Everyone have a marvelous (and SAFE) New Year's Eve and I'll talk to you all in 2009!
Happy New Year!
