Great Finds!

This a.m. I did go to the thrift store but, I did not need to buy a coat rack. I did buy some 100% wool sweaters that I already felted in the wash. I want to make some felted bags out of them. I think I might wash them one or two more times since they are not as small as I would like yet. I got three sweaters and they are drying in the bathroom right now. I also got some ugly old ties to use as handles for the bags. After shrinking them a bit more I can cut them out and sew them into bags! Pretty cool, huh? ^_^
My parents had a coat rack at their house that my dad had made in shop class when he was in grammar school. They were in the area today so they brought it to me. Hubby and I met them at the mall in the food court so that we could pick it up. My dad was really proud of it but didn't want to admit how proud of it he was. It will be perfect for my classroom to hold my coat. The only thing that it needed was new hooks. The old ones had kind of corroded away so I couldn't use them. My hubby replaced the old hooks for new ones. Yeah! Monday I will now have a nice place to hang my winter stuff!
