Thrift Store Score - Crocheted Afghan

 Sometimes I like Goodwill. Case in point, the time I found this afghan for five dollars and it is huge! 

There are a few sun spots on it, other then that, its in pristine condition. 

The colors are perfect for fall! Imagine, on a chilly fall evening snuggling up, with a cup of hot chocolate, and a movie!

Happy Autumn,

99¢ Simplicity Patterns? Oh, My!

Because, I went out and bought the patterns I wanted. I feel like I can tell you that Hobby Lobby has Simplicity patterns on sale for 99¢ this week! :) 

I picked up the following patterns:

Three dress patterns. Two of them are vintage "Jiffy" reprints. 

A vintage "Jiffy" shirt reprint. (Jiffy patterns have two or three main pattern pieces)

A vintage 11 1/2" doll (Barbie) reprint.

And a steampunk jacket costume pattern. I have a really cool idea for this! You'll have to wait and see what it might become!

Hurry in and check out the sale!

Repurposed Water Bed into Shelving

Dad and I have been working on organizing the shed. Rearranging, adding shelves, getting rid of stuff and trashing old boxes! Yay!

Last Saturday, we made some shelves. Using scrap wood and the frame boards from our old water bed. 

(Before)

Getting the supporting boards measured!

This little brown board is my baby. I cut it all by myself! Dad taught me how to use the chop saw and some other kind of saw. Hand saw? Maybe? Lol

We are only going to put light stuff on this longer part. With that in mind, we made an "extension" on the back of the shelf, to make sure nothing will fall behind.

Ta-Da! They aren't fancy, just functional. Perfect for the shed!

I think it looks cool, with the different colors of stained and unstained boards.

Sunset on the 30th

This sunset is from Tuesday, September 30th.

*Sigh* I love sunsets :)

Most of my sunset pictures are cropped and minimally edited. 

I decided to play around more with this image and get out of my editing comfort zone. 

What do you think?

Thrift Store Score - Tupperware

I love finding good looking Tupperware at thrift stores! 

This style of measuring cups are, in my opinion, the BEST! Grandma used them, Mom has a few sets and now I have a two sets!

Hope your week is fantastic!
