Monday Moneysavers

Apparently when I am stressed, I rearrange my bar-cart. It was therapeutic putting away the cocktail glasses and deciding what I put on next.

I went to the church sale mentioned in last week’s ad. It was a decent sale. I bought this punch bowl with 10 glasses for $2. (J I think I can flip it and put a plate and use it as a cake stand)

See the stirrers, I bought it at the flea market 2 weekends ago

Cocktail forks

 and then I found this

And openining it was a big mistake

I paid $2.50 for it

 I dont know why I bought it. It doesnt work very well.. but I might sell the other one and get this fixed and use this one..I know I know I am insane.

The pillowcase skirt I made.

    Hi ,

    For a person who just learnt sewing , you have been churning out project after project! Looks awesome.

    About the last post, my son is severly allergic to most nuts and carries epipen too. Had eczema in his first year and now mostly cleared up. He still has ashtma issues. the thing being …I share/understand your pain..I read a lot that in most cases allergies are wrongly diagnosed. If it worries you so much may be getting a second opinion from a diff dr might help ? .. hang in there ..Most kids they say grow out of it.

    hugs,
    krithiga

    Me: I can only hope.

  4. WOW! Great job on the skirt! Looks lovely :) Sweet kid too :)

    wow the skirt is really good!!

    Me: Thanks. It was really simple, since it was a pillowcase.

  6. anon says:

    hey how much will you sell it for? i might buy it from you. really need a sewing machine!

    Me: You cannot be anon and expect me to reply to you. Especially me if you are in Canada.

    You know, an entry level sewing machine is not that expensive. You shld just consider buying something new, that has some basic features and you know will work for your purposes.

    Me: I am assuming this is for anon above and not me right? Hey what are some of you fav simple sewing blogs.

    I love that you have a bar cart. It is just so lovely and the fact that some of it is thrifted is perfect. I don’t drink very much but I love the idea of having a bar in the house. Maybe a bar cart will work perfectly for us.

    Me: I didnt drink much either but putting everything out in the open makes me want to make a cocktail every night. :)
