Half Off Days are sooo much fun!

I was able to catch the first day of hospice thrift's half off weekend sale. Grabbing what I could, I reviewed my purchases and put half of them back while waiting in the long line. My $10 total included a couple of Christmas CDs for resell, a bag of buttons, an apron, and this entire outfit, including hat. It all just seemed to go together! Can't make out the label on the hat, sweater is Possessed Clothing Company, wrap-around double layer skirt unmarked, the black leggings, ankle socks, and BCBG Girls heels are part of my regular wardrobe. The outfit was a splurge for me and so appreciated. I have been working hard trying to reduce unnecessary purchases and focusing on reselling. Being "good" can be tiring.

Quilting update: 5-1/2" squares cut for the 30s repro 4 patch quilt. One advantage to this hobby, when you can't sew, you can cut fabric, or complete a binding (I hand sew mine). I have two quilts in to the longarmer awaiting their return to me. 

I always seem to have lots of blue fabric (4 blue print blocks). Those irregular pieces at the top of the image I will use to create cornerstones. It really is great progress when you have moved into the preparing the fabric phase. 

Now I can watch the Super Bowl guilt free knowing I am have made forward movement in my personal challenge.
