Here’s the doll dress I got
from Dollar Tree yesterday. It looks like most knockoff doll clothes – nice fabric,
sloppy sewing. I’ll open it this week sometime. I still haven’t opened Ghoulia
or Garrot yet !
Went with Beloved Hubby to
his job site to finish up while Dearest Son visited with M & FIL. The house
Beloved was working on – his work’s finished there now ! – is huge ! The
staircase he completed today is absolutely gorgeous. From what I saw in the still-in-progress
house, they have plenty of money to make it a very stylish home. However, their
backyard is just as flooded as ours. Got to spend a little time gazing out
their floor-to-ceiling windows, watching currents form, eddy, and vanish in the
puddles, the tell-tale ripples of insects landing, and what may well have been
tadpoles swimming around. He apologized for it being so boring, but I enjoyed
the quiet time. And the awesome lunch !
We hit Harbor Freight, and I
was like a coupon fairy – they’d given and sent us a stack of ‘em for this
weekend’s sale, and we only needed three. So I passed the others out to other
customers if I could, left them near the items when I couldn’t. And we got two
fresh packs of free AA and AAA batteries ! They’re decent, last as long as most
discount batteries, but they’re especially great when they’re freebies.
Came home to two massive
embroidery design sales – 50% and 75% off, limited time – and spent about $25.
total on most of the few remaining want-list residents. When I downloaded one,
it wasn’t in my machine’s size, although the sales page says it is. I asked the
seller about it, was told some designs don’t look good in 4x4. Um, yes, that’s
often true, but I wouldn’t have bought Design X if it wasn’t advertised as
being available in the size I wanted. I even mentioned another design they have
that I like, but it’s not 4x4, and that’s fine, I understand. Long story short
(too late !), the designer sent me the one I bought resized, and the other
design I mentioned, also resized, but with the caveat that they may not look as
good as I hoped. Most kind. But I need to calm down a day or two before I
stitch either of them out. Yes, the design is still listed as available as a
4x4. (sigh)
There’s only three left on
ye olde wish-list, and from what I can tell, those sellers never offer sales.
But still I hope for someday. . .
Of course, we’ll probably be
flat broke that day !
