Craft it up!

I've been sewing away like there is no tomorrow. With my 5 day weekend (yay) I feel like that's all I've been doing. Well that, reading (I'm a HUGE book nerd, I'll post a review of the series I'm reading shortly) and shopping.

I'm happy to say one of my friends found out she's having a GIRL (seriously, everyone is pregnant)! I'm SO excited that I finally have a reason to make cute, frilly & girly things! And boy have I!

I've also been asked (and told) to start an Etsy shop. Hmm. I'm on the fence. I have this worry it'll start taking the fun out of it, but who doesn't like extra money?! Something to think about..

I started (and finished) this last night after seeing a picture somewhere. I've made a few aggravating mistakes, but overall it turned out pretty well.. My Cinderella work apron!

I also made a small Joann's run and this is what I got. The main reason for going was for new scissors, but I couldn't pass up half off fabric!

As you can see the soft (minky?) fabric was $14.99/yd and at 0.806 yd it = $12.08, except all pre-cut fabric that people didn't buy is 50% at Joann's, so it was $6.04. The pink baby flannel fabric I scored 0.50 yd for a little over $1.50

They usually have the bin(s) near the cutting station.

My small Joann's haul cost me $24.67 total. The scissors were obviously the most expensive, but I saved $15.49!! With my 40% off one full priced item coupon I received through email and a 15% off entire purchase coupon I pulled up on their website while also scoring the on sale fabric!

And finally, I'm happy to say we (my husband) found my charger for my DSLR! YES! So obviously that means quality of the pictures should improve some!!
