Ok, so the photo looks like it came from a 1980's advertisment but it didn't. Liz took this picture of me with my bag just a few weeks ago. Maybe I just still belong in the 80's. 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

It’s FINALLY done…the $5 Tulle Ruffle Skirt
First, before you buy your fabric you are going to need 2 measurements. The first is a waist measurement, in my case I need 20 inches. Then take a length measurement,in my case 10 inches (waist to knee measurement). I made this particular skirt for a 2 year old. Now to know how much fabric to buy.....double the waist measurement.

My 5 year old and his friend helped me make markers for the vegetables in my garden yesterday. The photo above is of our killer tomato but we also made sweet peas, rabid radishes, cool cucumbers, etc.Earlier, Simon (my 5 year old) and I had gone rock hunting.
