I figured out how to finish my punch needle project and placed an online pick up order at Michaels so I could use a 30% off coupon.
Hours went by and it wasn’t ready so I decided to leave the house and run some errands first, I had punch needle and rug hooking books in at the library so I stopped there first. One is called Rug Hooking For The First Time by Donna Lovelady which sounds oddly suggestive.
Then I swung by the thrift store. My goal was to find nice ice cream bowls for Matt’s birthday dessert and I was successful!
I thought I’d have luck buying the bowls at a thrift store because they seem like the type of thing that people give as gifts but no one really uses. We love having the exact right bowl though. They look like what all the plastic ones on Amazon are imitating.
At the thrift store I saw a gold Tupperware chiffon cake/pie holder like my mom’s but I have my mom’s now and it didn’t make sense to have two. I was tempted though! I did get a square lid that might fit a Tupperware container that was hers too. It looks a little too big but it was $1 so I figured I’d risk it.
Maybe I should have gotten the cake holder? But it’s not like I’m making two chiffon cakes at once ever. We did used to flip it upside down and use it for sugar cookie storage at Christmas. If it was a different color I def would have bought it. I love actual Tupperware.
Three hours after Michael’s opened and my errands were complete my order still wasn’t ready so I headed over and asked if I could just shop it myself and they could scan it as if they did it. They agreed! It’s so annoying I couldn’t just use the coupon in person. I didn’t need someone else to grab a hot glue gun off the shelf for me. Anyway, that took some time but at least they were fine with it. I could not kill any more time in the suburbs!
I came home and we split some leftover lo mein for lunch.
Did some odds and ends and had pork chops and asparagus for dinner. We kept going around in circles and it was easy.
Had a popcorn snack while watching Yellowjackets. How is the season over next week???
Tomorrow we were planning on going on a day trip to a festival but it looks like rain and it’s too far to drive if it might be canceled before we get there or gross if it isn’t. We might just buy some plants and get lunch here in the city instead.
