Next project I actually finished last weekend, it was super duper easy! I wear an eye cover at night a lot of times when hubby still is up watching a show or what not. So, this is just terry cloth on one side and fabric on the other. I just made the pattern free-hand. No big whoop and it's a little rough looking but works just fine. It's funny though, I had wanted to cover the elastic in the back so it wouldn't get all schmutzed up, so I measure the elastic and covered it, sewed it in but when I went to put it over my head - whoops! The elastic case is not stretchy. What a dork! So, I had to redo that part making the casing longer to fit around my noggin!
So, today I was out and about since this is my first Friday off. Our office is going to 4 days a week for the Summer. So, to kick it off I went in for some fasting bloodwork first thing. Ugh. I hate having blood taken, but as I have hypothyroidism, it is a necessity. So, at Goodwill I found 3 things of the really thin yarn (.59 cents each!) and then at the Hospice thrift I found the Aunt Martha's transfers (25 cents each!) and the thread holder full of thread ($1.75!). I found some great buys and the best part is I just used the $2 cash I had and whatever change in my change purse! Ya-hoo! I love the thread case, it has a fun star shape on the top, and little pegs for each thread. My Mom would be so jealous because all of the thread things (can't think of the name for the life of me!) are wooden. Love it.
Okay, I absolutely MUST get some coffee now before I keel over! :)
