Tis not often you find an excellent condition copy of Where The Wild Things are at the thrift store for 40 cents. Plus a copy of The Velveteen Rabbit for 30 cents.
I need to have enough toys and books fairly soon for my future childcare charges to play with and since I’m a HUGE believer [...]
I got the financials sorted today for the move (we’re ahead of where I had hoped we’d be at thanks to a generous relative giving me $500 when most of my family wouldn’t loan me water if I was on fire) and we sign the last papers tomorrow morning and then I can pay the [...]
We got offered the house!!! Someone offered her $420 (she wanted $380) a week which worried me and is just playing dirty frankly but she didn’t like them very much so if we can go up to $400 pw then it’s ours, unless our property manager from here gives us a bad review. Our friend [...]
We viewed yet another rental property this morning. Like 45 minutes ago actually. I practically ran home (except fat people should never ever run) to blog and let off some excitement. We’ve seen houses that were more immediately perfect to live in, we’d need to put a gate on the back yard of this one [...]
I have over a dozen pincushions for selling, plus 3 I (in theory) use myself. So when I thought of what to make for my next project what better than another pincushion I’ll probably never use? Two projects from the same book….ohhhhh must be a good book!
We’ve had suuuch slow internet for a while, to the point where nothing can be downloaded at certan times of day and commenting on blogs is deathly slow, and we found out tonight that we have had a piggybacker leaching off our wireless connection BIG TIME. We normally average 5-8gig a month, we are up [...]
Destash tally for the week:
In’s: 42 – due to a pile of free books I hope to sell on and a pile of Beatrix Potter books I couldn’t say no too. I did buy two craft books in nearly new condition for $1 each!! Those are welcome! One is about sewing toys and one is [...]
What are the odds, I get a great new craft book that I am totally digging, have plans to make a heap more birds then someone goes and gives me a free 29″ TV WITH a stand and DVD player. Ugh, don’t you hate it when that happens?? Well, when it takes up your whole [...]
My first try (the book came yesterday!) and although it has one boob a lot larger than the other, the result of a rogue pleat, it still looks exactly like it should! It was a bit tricky but nothing too hard and I bet I’ll have a flock of them within a few days!
I couldn’t have forseen free being a bad thing but when your aunt and uncle give you their old 29″ TV which is 4x as big as your old 14″ TV then it can be bad.I certainly am never going to turn down a free large screen TV but as a result our house is [...]
