GOOD THINGS DON'T HAVE TO COST ALOT

Bill bought this cute little one cup coffee maker for me for Christmas. I love it. It is great to make just one cup. He found it in a drug store and proves you sure don't have to pay a fortune for nice things. Thanks Bill. So far, I used my Joann's gift card to buy three cookie sheets, badly needed, and a pattern book.
My niece, Brenda, bought me the yummy smelling candle in a jar, which also smells like coffee.
This beautiful basket was a gift from a lady George drives and does things for. It is very beautiful and I hate to take it apart now. I bought the poinsettia because it is a unique color.
This is a book I just finished, on the left, and one I am just starting on the right. The finished one was very good and I like the author of the second one.
This is about to be an abandon project. It was to be a gift for Heidi. Start over, I found I would be wayyyyyyyyy short of yarn for this and not sure I can get it again.
Try again.

No! I love that yarn so do not abandon it. PLEASEEEEEEEE.... :-) The Amish book looks like it was good. I knew you said you were going to start one by a new author. And what better for reading a book? A good cup of coffee. I am glad you like your coffee maker.

Miss Daisy gave you a really nice basket of goodies too. What all is in it?

Love and hugs,
Heidi

The gift basket is really pretty. I like the yarn too. If you don't have enough yarn for your original project, you will just have to find a new project! Sounds like Heidi really likes that yarn!! :)

Sounds like Bill bought just the right gift for you! You're right, some of my most cherished things didn't cost very much but they sure were made and given with a ton of love enclosed! I loved Heidi's comment begging you not to give it up. I hope you can find more yarn just for her :)

What lovely presents, Nancy. I love that mini coffee maker, it would suit me perfectly as no one else drinks real coffee in our house.
The basket looks full of goodies too. I can't think of anything nicer than lots of little presents!

I hope you don't have to abandon that knitting project. The yarn really is gorgeous. Is there something smaller like a little neck shawl you can make. There's a great free pattern here which I saw and fell in love with. I'm sure Heidi would love this too :>)
