1-Do something with this fabric: This is one of the "new" fabrics that I bought awhile back. I think it's so flippin' cute, but I really don't know what to do with it. I thought it would be a cute kid something? Pillowcase? more bean bags? A kiddie bag? I was going to try and make a little blanket. It's only 1 yard, so it would be a baby blanket. Fish on the front and soft blue tee material on the back. I haven't made a blanket before so what's the scoop? Right sides together and just sew it up, leave a gap, turn it inside out and add a decorative stitch for kicks? Is it really that easy? 2-I may try out making one of those "yo-yo's" and see how that goes. 3-I was also thinking of attempting a two tone bag. You know, make the bottom 1/3 one material and the top 2/3 a different one. I don't know if I have anything that will coordinate. I'm a bit scared to try this. Too many cuts give me too many chances to mess it up. The way things are looking from here I'll be lucky if I get one of these projects done. Also, the hubby is going to look further into the wordpress thing. I hope you all have a great weekend.

OH My! A pile of thrifty junk! What have I done? (Again, blogger has made a non-vertical photo) vertical. This is my living room floor after we got home from thrifting. Yikes! What an ordeal sorting, cleaning etc. But I got some good stuff for little money. So, I haven't bought much in the way of toys things for awhile. That changed this week. Since there are no children around us, I am Keely's number one playmate. Mommy gets bored fast and needs new toys (cheap ones). Here's the breakdown.
Photo 1: Bag of animals. These are going to be designated for outside use. She has plenty inside. price–>$2. Photo 2: The cool fabric veggies I mentioned yesterday. She played with these all last night. price–>.99

Buttons, ribbons, binding, zippers, lace. I NEVER find this kind of stuff.

Photo 1: (left one) A little board and lots of magnets. They came together. One side of the board is magnetic/dry erase and the other side is a chalkboard. I thought this would be good for the car. It's pretty small. price—>$3. Photo 2: Play dough accessories. What a mess that will be, huh? price–>$2. 
Photo 3: One of our favorite books has been Mary Murphy's, I Like It When, so I was thrilled to find this big bag of wooden picture blocks. It's a matching game that has all the book characters on them. price—>$2. Photo 4: I got this bag of dolls because of their clothes. They are pretty nice. I didn't realize they were all Disney characters until I opened the bag. I don't really do Disney. Keely doesn't know who they are so they are just dolls to her. She is having them dance all over my arms as I type this. price —>.99
