Yard Sale Time

Me and my daughter are getting up early in the morning to check out some yard sales. I have been hooked since we went to a community yard sale in the spring. Oh my, the good things we found. Best find so far is an American Girl doll for $1, yes $1. We are not sure of the dolls name, but she was in GREAT condition and was dated 2007. She didn't have any clothes on, but I made her a pillowcase dress. Only wish there were 2, because I have 2 granddaughters.

Another great find was a royal blue bowl. It caught my attention because it was unique. (If my camera battery were not dead, I would take a picture). The young lady I bought this from said it was a wedding gift but it didn't match their decor. It doesn't match my decor either, but I love it. When I came home I searched the internet for the name stamped on the bottom of the bowl, $195.00 plus shipping from a place I had never heard of.

So now I'm hooked, it's like a treasure hunt. We usually take the granddaugthers, but we are going alone, I can't wait.

Cute Onesies and Monogrammed Bloomers



I love making darling outfits for babies and toddlers, they are only little once and they can only wear these cute things for a short time. I have a granddaughter named Peyton, but this is for a different Payton. I hope Payton had a great birthday and I hope her mommy loved this outfit.

Badge Reels



I think Badge Reels are so adorable. Badge reels are a great way to show off your style at work. These are great for nurses, teachers, or anyone required to have an ID at all times. They have a 24" retractable cord with slide clip or alligator clip. The price is $6.00 and includes 1 initial monogram.

Key Fobs


Here is one of the many items I love making, key fobs. This is just a few of the many color combinations available. The key fobs are $6.00 . They make great gifts.

New to the Blog World

Hello,
My name is Terri, I am a mom to 2 great daughters Haley & Summer and "Mimi" to 2 granddaughters Rylie (5) & Peyton (2). I love crafts and dream of the day when I have more time for sewing, embroidery & crafting. I have such great ideas, I just need to find the time to do the things that make me happy. I am in the process of trying to get organized. I have an extra bedroom that is my crafting room, but I have been so unorganized. But that is going to change soon, very soon.

My "Sweet Luci" is my sweet dachshund, Luci. She started out as a gift to my oldest daughter, but quickly because mine. She has been a blessing in my life, I love how she is always so happy to see me. If she only knew that I'm probably more excited about seeing her than she is to see me.

I look forward to sharing some of my crafts with you. I am new to the blog world and am a little lost right now.
