Hi everyone

 

not even watching today

 

it's so repetitive, or maybe it's me, 

 

but it's sunny and not cold outside

@LTT1 talked me into the one of a kind cape that I posted about last week.  It's not here yet, of course, with the USPS being an absolute cluster.  I ordered two different sets of buttons that I hope will work to change out what's there.  I'm not sure which will look better.  One is coming from Canada, so we'll see when that arrives.

I hope the new buttons won't take away the vintage vibe ... it's such a lovely piece as it is.

On NYE, we did a virtual white elephant with my co-worker, her fiance, and his nerd friends.  They are into all things tech, Star Wars, Dungeons and Dragons, etc. so it's always a gamble RE white elephant.  I was able to steal back my gift but BF got a game that we'll probably never play.

 

We had fun playing some games on Jackbox TV, one that is really good is called Quiplash.

 

I ordered my presents from Shopgoodwill.com, and I found some interesting items.  Our limit was $20.

I got these vintage chopsticks (two boxes).

This is what I need to mail out today. I essentially paid for shipping twice, but I included the original shipping in my $20.  They are going to be shipped to a couple (military) who have lived all over, so I think they'll appreciate them.

 

The other gift that I "stole" from someone so that I could get it back was this- vintage glass sectioned fish plates.  I am thinking grilled cheese sandwiches and soups, or soup and crackers.  They have shipped but they haven't arrived yet.  They're coming from the opposite coast.

It's missing one of the buttons to close it.  It requires 6 buttons, and there are five. I thought about pulling one of the sleeve buttons off and using that for the closure and then replacing the two sleeve buttons with something else.

 

I ordered these vintage buttons:

Happy New Year all, I am still doing PT, some nights are great to sleep others not so much.

Still weak and tired but not shopping, only two easy pays no desire to shop since all I wear is sweats and long T shirts.

 

This too shall pass sooner than later I hope 

 

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

Good morning and Happy New Year to all.
I'm not doing any clothing shopping until closer to Spring. I have more than I need right now but will need some new tops by then. For now, just doing housework and repairs, yeah, what I currently have works fine. In the exception of having somewhere I need to go, well...the closet is full, lol.
Meanwhile, I am impatiently waiting for things to improve, as I'm sure most of us are.
