Look What I found at Dollar Tree

This weekend I was at my local Dollar Tree, which is within walking distance of my house (oh, the temptations) and right by the front door I see this ::

Solar Yard Lights. The cheapest I've seen them elsewhere is Target for around $3. I bought 4 of these, and promptly put them along the path in front of my mom's house. They work very well and do not look like they cost a dollar each.

When I went back Tuesday, they were sold out. However, you can order them in quantities of 48 for (you guessed it!) $48 at the DT Website

Saturday's Creativity Roundup

Today I decided that I would try to combine all of my blogs into one blog. Since all blogs are based on creativity and being frugal, I wanted to combine them to be something similar to the other DIY, crafty, idea-filled blogs out there, which I have discovered recently, is an awesome little underground world of super genius ladies who are kind enough to share all of their great ideas.

Wow.

I get overwhelmed.

Now, I have been blogging for ... geesh, about ten years now. Just about nothing, really. I like to share information with people. I find that a lot of my friends and family are not into putting in extra work to find the lowest price on something. So I like to do it, and drop one or two tips a day at them, until, hopefully, everyone will get it.

(end rambling.)

I actually got out my needle and thread today. I sewed a button into the center of my very first ever made rosette, see below ::

I found a cheap cotton tshirt in a corner today, was walking to the trashcan to throw it out, as I caught myself. I got out the scissors and started shredding. I've seen so many ideas about remaking things with t-shirts, bracelets, scarves... this one XL tshirt yielded a lot of fabric, too! I do not sew but I want to use this fabric for pockets on another cardigan I have.

I used the needle and thread to sew this gray grossgrain ribbon bow onto this strand of pearls, broken off of another necklace.

I kindof like the rosette in there....or is it too much??

My brain is tired, so I think I will head off to bed. Leave me comments. I love comments! Let me know how you like the new blog :)
Goodnight!

No Job :: Day One

(Originally Posted 3/9/11)

So for multiple reasons, I quit my job yesterday. I am going to try to find something closer to my house. I think Starbucks sounds like a fun place to work right now. I have the credentials for many nice "career" jobs but am looking for something small to help pay the bills. Like, I just got my car fixed, so that will add gasoline and insurance to the list of bills..... anywhooo....
enough about my personal troubles. Let's get into a positive frame of mind!

I changed the layout on most of my blogs. Thanks to cutestblogontheblock.com for providing the beautiful artwork.
