Found this bargain at Ross yesterday. Andy was slightly alarmed when I brought it to the register, the cashier likely didn't think it was "me" either, but I've got plans to make it into something fun!

One of my favorite things about being a creator is the ability to make what you need instead of buying! Tyler's blood sugar monitor's case was falling apart, and I made this replacement from things I had in my stash.

Today was my lucky day!! I've asked at our and they aren't selling them yet. Went to one while in Lincoln today and they were $50/OBO! They seemed surprised and thrilled that I'd take them, so I offered $50 for the set and they immediately agreed! Thank goodness for a Honda minivan with fold-into-the-floor seats, they came home easily.
Awhile back the school had this pretty teal filling cabinet for $10, and I've found it's fantastic for storing fabric out of the light and dust. Pretty sure all my patterns will fit in one drawer, then going to sort notions. You know where to find me the next few days!😉

We had a card making workshop on Saturday, so fun to see everyone's creativity! I heard more than once "who would have ever thought to sew on paper?!" We used paper, recycled cards, and fabric scraps; bookmarks turned out to be a hit also. Sew fun!

It's the little things, enjoy some fluff in your coffee today!

The sewing room has been very quiet recently, as I'm doing some painting and flooring upstairs in the house. Can't limit the creative fun to just fabric! Stay tuned for pics.
