Howdy!

If you'd been there any longer, they'd be paying you to take it away! g

So, Bert and I ventured into TSWLTH as I had a 40% coupon off one item, and
a 10% off the entire bill and Sulky thread was 50% off and greenery was
50-60% off.

We had gotten rid of the plants above the entry closet. Climbing on a
ladder to water them was no fun anymore, so we're transitioning to fake.

I wanted a small cutting mat, 12 in square for near my sewing machine to cut
small things while sewing, and with the ironing pad on the other I can press
with my small iron without in and out of the room and blocking the door with
the ironing board down, etc. and that was 40% off.

I also had some some machine embroidery designs that I wanted to do, but
needed a few thread colors, and the exact colors were needed because of the
shading and those were 50% off. Well, my list of thread colors has slowly
been filled out and Bert kept looking up numbers and throwing spools into
the cart. Let's just say that with all my digits exposed, I can almost
count the few colors left that I don't have.

I used the first coupon on a rack for my rulers since I have quite a few
now, and that is on top of the file cabinet within reach.

So, when all was said and done, I achieved nearly 60% off on my total bill.
Thank goodness since nearly $285 was quite enough to spend, but the thread
was even cheaper for a change than the on-line place I usually use. But, I
just got paid for a graphic design/conference program I created so actually
I didn't spend any money out of pocket. I still was able to put some in
savings.

All in all a good shopping moment, but totally decadent. Now I just have to
put all those spools of thread away in my numbered shop drawers.

Off to more sewing adventures.

If they were red, yellow, and blue, I don't see much of a problem!

Whow you will have fun. Just sorting and fondling would be enough for me to
enjoy.

Hi Estelle,

Good to see you again! Where have you been and what have you been up
to? Happy Quilty New Year!

LOL, Doc. We weren't that smart. Thinking back, we were only allowed two
colors. Mine were blue and brown; turned out rather well. It was the first
painting I ever sold. Polly
