We just got back from Michaels because they had a 30% off total regular price purchases coupon in their email this week. Astoundingly, I spent less than 21 dollars. I got some more yarn to make potholders and such and some more Glossy Accents for bottle cap necklaces.Michaels was clearing out book shaped wooden boxes for 29 cents each so I bought what the had left. The Turnip will probably decorate them. After that, I told Mike I wanted to stop by Value Village.
I prefer a lot of the local thrift stores most of the time, but what Value Village has that the rest don't consistently is big bags of fabric remnants for 4.99. The Turnip didn't know we were going specifically to get more fabric for her. She was thrilled. She looked for a minute or two, but my daughter has a definite taste for shiny fabrics and one of the bags had blue satin in it.I got a second bag that had some pieces I could use. I went through my bag, pulled out the pieces I wanted, and gave the rest to her, it included a large piece of a silky synthetic I think will wind up being draped on things and played with more than sewn with. So the house is silent as she's in her room sewing happily.I was happy. I found a Sunset book on making children's play spaces that looks very good. I spent a lot less than I thought I would. Less than 20 at the thrift store.
