>mfw spent ~$200 on a set of pots and pans, lots of hair care, lots of makeup, and a pair of shoes
>all for me
>store in the mall closing
>entire store 70% off
>spent $50 all for me
>still haven't bought any gifts for anyone else

I do have a little gift chest where I collect potential gifts for people throughout the year but I haven't actually looked at it to see what all I have. This haul was really a good deal though and the products should last me well into the next year.

>cleaning out storage because moving to new city and can't take everything with me
>inherited serger from my grandma when she passed away
>never really figured out how to thread it so it went unused for years
>take it to BF's dad who used to work with sergers in a factory
>threads it easily
>stitches come out lovely
>tempted to keep it
>realize my plastic sewing machine can do a similar stitch if I buy the right foot for it
>sell the serger and some thread to a woman who makes her children clothes for $80

I'm happy the serger went to someone who will use it and I needed the money but boy do I feel like a dingus for not ever using it because I didn't know how to thread it.

BTW, I'm the same anon from a few threads ago that was bummed about being unable to do crafts and having to get rid a lot of stuff before moving. I've tossed a trailer full of stuff and have a good amount of items to sell/donate. I met a sweet older woman who knits for a local children's shelter so I've been hooking her up with all my sewing/knitting material. I still haven't done any crafts but I'm using this time to learn some techniques and get some projects together so by the time I get set up in my new city I'll be ready to get some crafting in!
