Enter: Thrifty Organ

Today, we went thrifting at Arc with Mom and Aunt Becky. Sean immediately spotted this beauty in the furniture section and couldn't take his eyes or paws off of it for the entire time we were at Arc! Naturally, the organ was half off and how can you say "no" to Sean? ha!

Thanks mom for picking up the tab!

Thanks sean for adding this new piece of furniture to our home!

Hope you have a great time with it :) Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Thrifty Cake Plate Project

Classic Glass Plate = 4.99 at 50% off = $2.50

Glass Candle Holder = $2.99

Super Glue for Glass = $3.99

So Easy, So Fun!

Just had to clean the plate and candler holder ahead of time. Apply nail polish remover where I was going to bond the two pieces together. Bond, let set, bake a cake :)

Applique a Gift, eh?

One of my childhood friends, Theresa, called us over the weekend to tell us she's pregnant! Completely elated with the news, I tried to think of a quick gift I could put together and mail to her to help celebrate in the excitement of the little one on the way! Her due date is far off but I hope this onsie will help continue the momentum of great joy they will be experiencing in the months to follow!

Again, I used a button-hole stitch. The bird was the simpilest of simple appliques, the bird is actually a print on the fabric! I didn't need to trace or freehand a single thing! The onsie was a $0.50 purchase at a garage sale. It had a minor stain on the c

hest that my little applique covered up quite nicely.

With that being said, I think it's fair to say that the shipping of this gift back to Chicago will cost more than the actual gift itself!

Here's to babies and the fun of applique!
