Can it be possible that I'm bored of thrifting right now? I don't know, but I haven't felt much like getting out there lately. Maybe since the kids are out of school and they run out of steam fast! I find that my attention span/interests fluctuate depending on how I'm feeling, so it's no surprise. However, I did find a couple neat things on my last Goodwill trip:

Love the frame & the stitching, just not sure if they look good
together.

Just love anything with tapestry. Isn't the frame perfect? Both of these were around $4 each--not too bad. I finally got around to spray painting my Goodwill cubby (thanks to
Rhoda for the seashell idea!):

Since my thrifting mojo is gone, it seems my sewing/crafting mojo is back in full force. I'm working on some Shrinky Dink charms, polymer clay cupcake charms, soldering pendants and making purses. I whipped up some for a friend of mine and her daughters as a thank you for a HUGE box of Webkinz they sent to my girls. Here are my happy girls with their new Webkinz:



They are so excited to have some new ones to play with! It's great that all three of my girls can find something to play with together. Here's what we're sending my friend & her girls:

The first one is based on Creative Little Daisy’s
basic purse tutorial and the other two are made from Made by Rae’s
Buttercup Bag tutorial.


The only changes were adding vintage buttons to the straps and leaving off the placket on the front of the purse.

They came together very quickly and are the perfect size for teenagers! I'm making charms from
Saucy's tutorials...just have to give them a quick bake in the oven tonight.

I need to make dinner for these hungry chilluns. Here's a parting shot of Bootsie, caught mid-yawn. It never gets dull around here. Seriously.
