New Frugal Glasses

Went to the eye doctor two weeks ago and it turns out my Astigmatism in my right eye has shifted left. No wonder my eyes were bothering me so much by bedtime! Buying new glasses usually gives me an ulcer – it’s easy to pick a frame that looks nice, but hard to find one that looks nice and isn’t $300!!!

Enter Zenni Optical.

I had read about this company before and then Honey found several articles about their quality of product and service. SO, I talked my sister into ordering her new glasses from there first *wink*. She really liked hers and so I sat down to place my order.

It is a bit addictive when you see the selection and the prices. My sight is really bad, but even with the additional $10 fee per pair to send out and have the lenses specially made, I only paid $70 for TWO PAIR AND magnetic sunglasses thingies.

One pair – I like to call them the “Palin Pair” are too big for my face – Honey laughs every time he tries to talk to me and THAT is distracting. The other pair is cute, I think. You can give me your feedback. (I cannot BELIEVE how many freckles I have!)

Oh, I can return the pair I don’t like for a 50% refund which means I only lost $20. Even if I order another pair I will still come out ahead from what ONE pair of glasses usually costs me!

If you wear glasses it is worth investigating Zenni Optical!

It’s Been Sew Long

I started a quilt for Little’s brand new daybed back when it was brand new. That was two years ago and the quilt is still not finished. Well, I am determined to get it done before my friend Cris, the one who is “teaching me to make a quilt” graduates from seminary and leaves town; taking her quilting knowledge with her.

I had gotten a bit desperate and offered Megan money to sew my straight and monotonous lines for me (she is so speedy), but I think Cris didn’t like that idea because right after I told her about it, she committed to coming by for a visit that week and said, “I’ll just sew a couple lines while I am there.” And she did. And then she asked if she could come by every other Wednesday to hang out (heck yeah!) and “just sew a couple lines each time.”

Well, the actual point was for ME to make my daughter a quilt, so I have sewn three lines a day for the past three days. At this rate I will be finished by November. . . just in time to start on KB’s. . .
