Thank you to everyone who came up to Midway for the Country Fair. We had a great time and met a lot of fun people. I can't wait until we are back up there for Swiss Days in September! My brain is overflowing with ideas for new items and decorations.*PS---I am THE WORST at taking pictures. The photos of our booth are both crooked and blurry. This is the only in focus shot I had to post. It is from the peg person corner as I was in the process of setting it up Thursday morning. ... View the Post
$5 Friday…Dish Towels
These are some dish towels I recently made for a bridal shower.I bought the dish towels at the local dollar store for a dollar each and then used scraps from my bin to make the flowers. (Which brings the total for this project to---$5 plus tax.)Just grab a dish towel, cut some fabric in the shape you want and stitch it on. That's all. I don't heat and bond it, stitch around the edges, iron anything, or even use pins. I just plop down the shapes and and start sewing. (I leave about 1/4 inch seam ... View the Post

Anyways....My $5 Friday project is a Farmer's Market Bag. I made it out of a rug from the Dollar Store, $2.13 worth of handle cord from Wal-Mart, and scrap fabric from my bin.First I made some flowers and cut out the shapes that I wanted on the bag. Then I folded the rug in half and pinned the shapes and flowers on the ... View the Post
A $5 dollar Thursday…..
I am leaving town for a month and since I will be busy packing tomorrow, I am doing my $5 project on Thursday. By the way, Liz and I were talking that we are just $5 project girls. I can't think of anything that I do that really costs a lot more. Maybe I am just a cheapskate when it comes to crafting....ok, I will admit that fabric has a bit higher limit. But not much.So here goes....a $5 project and fabric. My kind of heaven.I made these towels as presents for some girls that were going off to ... View the Post
