new slips

I have been needing to make myself new slips for months, if not closer to two years.  There is an interesting little thrift store near us.  It is called Texas Art Asylum.  The collect lots of stuff.  Stuff that crafters and artists really like.  I go in there and buy embroidery thread for $0.05 a skein.  I have to give myself a budget when I go in there.  Usually my Beloved is with me and he gets a budget too.

The last time we were there I picked up the end bolt of the green silk in the picture above.  Three yards of silk for $10.  That means I got two silk slips for $5 each.  These are such simple patterns that they do not photography well, but they are lovely.

I am happy.
