She thrifts, she scores!

I made pants. I MADE PANTS! You can almost tell how cute they are from these pictures. Brown corduroy with olive green cuffs and waistline. I got the idea here and followed the tutorial here. I'm such a visual/physical learner, the on-line tutorials are really great for me. I can actually make things instead of freaking out over a pattern and the written instructions.

And, I've been holding out on the funky tea set I've been collecting for a while. The clincher were these fabulous cups. I wish I had fabric with that pattern, I'd make pants for everyone out of them! They were 10 cents a piece. 10 CENTS!
And, oh, the tray. . . I'm loving the woman bringing a cooked turkey to a man who's been out fishing. It's almost like a comic strip. Man goes fishing. He doesn't catch a thing. Woman anticipates no fish. She cooks turkey.
And, I guess I'll have to pick and choose which tea cups to keep. . . the tray's full. Either that, or have a lot of people over for tea!

Thrifty finds

Thrift stores Rock. That's all I can say.
Can you see the price tag on the yarn ball winder? It says 75 cents. Yes. 75 cents. I bought it. It even has all of it's parts, the original box and it works. Score!






And this fabu piece of fabric? Yup, 55 cents. It's 1 yard and a half. It will be my next tote bag (or 2 or 3). I love it.


And, that's my short hair. I took a shower, washed the aforementioned puke off of me and Tom took my picture.

There you have it.
