Holy Fishizzle Minizzle

Ya, that's right I made a stink'n pillow cover. Check it out, this girl has got sewing skills.

Okay, so I am totally a copy cat and copied Mandi's pillow cover off of her blog vintage revivals (mandi is totally one of my best friends. Not, I wish though). I would love to go thrift store shopping with her and pick her brain for cute ideas to do to my house). Her blog is full of great ideas and step by step ways to do them. Basically it's just awesome and I love it.

Anywho, back to my blog. The hubby started his seasonal job back up this week so I have tons of things to do and fix up. Tonight I am sewing and putting some finishing touches on some mirrors I got at D.I. which I will probably post tomorrow and it comes with a great story, embarrassing but funny.

P.s. The pillow is not quit finished yet. Going to stencil "C" on it. I will post when done.

New Jewelry

Remember I make headbands too? Well, here are some of my new jewelry that I got yesterday too. The gold flower is like the one that I have that was my grandmas. I get lots of compliments on it and offers to buy it but since it was one of my grannies I haven't wanted to sell it. So, if you were one that wanted it now you can buy one like it. Yay. As for the horse brooch it is already taken, sorry.

Grrr...

Okay, I am so Peeved with a capital P. I just got done 2 days ago making this acid wash mirror (my first mind you) and the wind last night blew it off my porch breaking the mirror and frame. Grrr......... I mean really? Why?

On the bright side I did go to D.I. yesterday and bought a ton of junk. All amounting to $44 and I mean I got a ton including 2 big peices of furniture and a polite lecture from the hubby when I got home, hehe. I might have to start parking outside or have a garage sale next weekend.

One of my latest projects

Okay so I got this lovely window frame last week along with 4 others off the side of the road for a dollar each in North Ogden. Ya I know, sweet deal huh?They were sitting along the road with no one outside so I had to knock on their door to see how much they wanted for them. The guy wanted me to make an offer. So, a dollar a peice they were. That's right one dollar each. So, yesterday I went to good ol' Wally World and found this super cute fabric(which is more burnt orange then a red like the picture) for $4 dollars a yard and stapled it on to the back of my awesome window. I can't decide though if I want to put a calender decal on the front or just leave it as is. Maybe write cute nothings on it with a magic eraser marker? Who knows.

This is just one of the cute things I did yesterday. Can't wait to post the cupboard that I got from the same place. Posting soon, eeek.

My latest find at the D.I.

Okay so I found this down in the Centerville D.I. and let me tell you it was a beast getting into my little subaru along with my two little girls. When I walked into D.I. looking for a chair this little beauty caught all my attention. It has two cigarette burns and a few spots that are worn with love, who could pass it up though. The best part about it is that it reclines. When the employee was getting ready to take it to the back for pickup I asked him if I could test this bad boy out. He said, "what do you mean?" So, I sat in it and pushed back and it popped up. He was so envious, told me he was planning on buying it if it didn't sell by the end of the day. Too bad sucka, hehe. Needless to say everyone was eyeing it after that. All I could think was, ya it's mine. But wait, the best, best part is the price. Are you all dying to know? It was......$30. Yes, that's right I asked for the manager and talked it down a little. It was worth the $35 but why not ask right? I'm sure I embarrassed my hubby but a girls got to ask. Just like the time I went to Wally World and asked if they could lower the price on some hannah montana headbands because one of them had a chip in the paint on the plastic. They lowered it from $5 to $1. Really guys it doesn't hurt to ask, totally embarrassed my friend though. Hehe.
