Ohh it's so soft...

I had to go grocery shopping today blah arghhh icky..but when you combine it with some op/thrift store shopping it become oh me oh my wow.
Today I got this beautiful wool it is so soft-oh how I wish you could feel it you'd go ohhahhh I just know it. I have no idea what it is, but it sure isn't nylon-and maybe I might just make some sockies for me(oops yep must finish the other pair I started).


Oh yeah and the critical part of this purchase as with any was the price $2.75..doing happy dance.

Treasure

Some things I just see and say "Oh yes , I have to have that", and this lovely bowl(perhaps a soup thingy) was one of them.




It is a tad crazed (think that's the word) inside but otherwise it is beautiful-on the bottom it's stamped
Genuine
Staffordshire
Hand Painted
Shorter & Son
England

Anyways It is sitting high where i can admire it-would not use it for food or the like.
And you just want to hear this don't you...cost was $6.

EBAY-OZtion-Thrift Store finds.

Oh boy 3 posts in one day….

Keep forgetting to  post these….hubby is beginning to worry the house will be overtaken by sewing machines LOL.

Isn’t it soo cute I just had to have it…..battery operated and it works , not that I'll use it I just wanted it for display.

This one works well and would be handy to take away to sew blocks together with…

I grabbed these 2 which I had received in swaps in the past and popped them right in.Don’t they look cute in it…..

Nothing to do with CRAFT

Ok here is a random post-yep they do happen sometimes.....

I was walking past one of the local thrift stores the other day and I spotted these 2 pyrex dishes sitting on a counter...

oh me oh my I just so loooved the pink one..so I went inside to check the price tag and blow me down with a feather they were only $4.95 each,which is a great price 'cause they both had their lids and not a mark on them...usually these with lids are around $10-$15 each and $6-$8 without lids...so need I say more they just had too come home with me

Don't they jus look so sweet eh?

the inside of the lemon one has a permanent divider -I can think of many instances where that will be mighty useful.

Thrift Store shopping and stuffs

Oh my I can't believe it's been 10 days or so since I posted..aww well I guess maybe being really tired and rundown..and not really in the mood for the computer would make that happen eh?


Well yesterday I mailed off PIF gifts to Lissa and Tracy hope you like them...there is still a free item for someone else should they wish too join the PIF-I have not really campaigned for a third person as I send a RAK(randon act of kindness) to an unsuspecting person each month,so I figured that works too...


Well today I actually felt quite alive when I woke up and I had some energy so I went too the local thrift store ,picked up some nice pieces of cotton-you can relate can't you I just had too have them I could not leave them there for someone else.... I will use somewhere I'm sure LOL


I then was browsing the bags as the special this week was bags-belts-hats $1.00 woohoo I got this so not me bag but ahh it was only $1....


And then I turned around and saw this sewing machine cover in good condition.thought too self well ya just never know when you might have too travel with your machine so I walks over to look closer at it......oops ok it had a sewing machine in it...the masking tape on the top said..


"BROTHER SEWING MACHINE-NEEDS EXPERIENCED BOBBIN-MOTOR FIXING"....ahh I said to myself I won't open it and look , I'll just buy it 'cause the cover would be handy and it was only $10.00 .....


I get home cart the machine upstairs and open the cover.....well my goodness it has another little handy cover hmmm.....well there is the bobbin housing all in bits and the throat plate off....it still has the owners manual and all the feet it came with in thier little compartment,ok this don't look too bad..SO I look at the stitches arghhh pooey it don't have blanket stitch grrr ...One day I'll find me a machine that has balnket stitch.No I'm not going out and buying a new one I have perfectly good machine here just no blanket stitch....

that brown cover on the machine snaps on to the back and slides into 2 little slots on the front -handy jigger............
hard cover case can be seen in the background there
Oh and it still had the protcetive plastic strip across the stitch display panel-go figure


I amused myself for ½hour and next thing yah know the machine is humming away nicely yeehaah.....and my universal walking foot fits on it perfect-I will use this machine to practice and play with machine quilting ........
