Thrift Tips

Use the library instead of buying books

Have a shower instead of having a bath

Keep a thermos flask near the kettle

Exercise the old fashioned way

Make do and mend

Slow down while driving

Have a bath with a loved one

Hang dry laundry

Turn the thermostat down and put an extra layer on

Grow your own vegetables

I cut up old quilts in order to make a lot of my work. Most of them are in a really bad condition and aren't useable so I don't feel too guilty. I always save some sections in order to make  little cloth books. The theme of this one is Thrift Tips. We are apparently still deep in recession so you may want to take some of these on board.
