Last Saturday my Aunt Linda passed away from this Earth. She was quite special to me through my teen years. She bought corsages for my cousin, Heather and I for the prom as we went with friends as no boy was lucky enough to ask us. For Scott and my wedding she gave us a beautiful wool blanket made from the sheep that she hand raised on her farm in the 80's. I will always have it to bring her to the front of my memories. I've put it on the back of the recliner by our Christmas tree.

| Thrifting finds |

| Burlap with keys. |
Yesterday after Scott got home from work he wanted to visit
His House thrift store to see if they had any old computers he could get a part off from cheap. He didn't have any luck but I found 4 things for my crafty side to use; some Aida cloth for cross-stitching, some curling ribbon, some black bow ties and some pearls. All were mine for $1!
After we left
His House we stopped by
Jo-Ann Fabrics and Crafts to see if I could find a remnant of tight red corduroy but they didn't have any at all. But I did find this piece of unique printed burlap that I know I can use in an altered project. The piece was marked $4.99 and then they take another 50% off that as it was a remnant. BUT the burlap was on sale so I got it 50% off the sale price so I paid just $1.75 for this piece...
This morning I had a craving for sausage, egg and cheese biscuits so I made some biscuits and Scott did the sausage and scrambled eggs. They were delicious... I even made a heart shaped biscuit with the bit of dough left after cutting out the biscuits.
Today it's all about laundry and crafting!!! More to come later!
Oh Becky I am so sorry about your Aunt Linda that is a beautiful blanket of memories. Hug. B
