I have had so many projects going on at once that Project Onions and Gourds didn’t get as much attention these last three weeks as it should have. Here is where I left off last time:
And here is where I am as of today.
The onion is almost done. Another onion goes to the left of the gourd too. I may not get much done until after the new year with work and Christmas.
But what’s really exciting is on Friday my son and I went thrifting at the Goodwill and I can’t believe what I found. There were eight Rubbermaid plastic boxes filled with envelopes on the shelf I was looking at. It took me a second to realize what was inside but when I saw a skein of embroidery floss and the numbers on the envelopes I bought three out of the eight boxes. Each box was $9.99. When I got home every one of the envelopes was filled with brand new skeins of floss. There were 305 in total! What a find! Now I want to go back and buy the other five boxes. You just never know what you are going to find while out thrifting.

That’s very respectable progress, all the same… And what a find in those boxes! Congratulations on that early Christmas gift to yourself 🙂

You’ve had a lot of catching up these past few weeks, so you still made some great progress! That was a great find, and you didn’t get flossed either!

Good progress! And what a great find! I have bought a few skeins, but most of my collection was my mother’s when she stitched. I’m trying to organize them all in binders.

Wow! What a find! Have you gone back to get the rest of the boxes – were they even still there? I suspect few of us will make a lot of progress on our projects in the immediate future. 😉
