Pillow Pet Alligator

This is the ugliest thing that I am so proud of.  ha ha!  I hate stuffed animals and hate pillow pets.   This is supposed to be an alligator.  I bought everything I used to make it at yard sales.  Honestly, I didn't know what else to do with the furry green material.  I bought it because they told me I could fill a bin for $5, so I loaded it up! (even though I didn't need everything)

Best Deal Ever!

$5 sand table

$40! $40!!!

I'm not sure my husband and the men that helped him move this thought it was such a great deal.  Our old one was looking like the Leaning Tower of Pisa. The kids have LOVED it!  I started painting the swing set.  It is looking great, but the stomach flu decided to visit me mid painting and I haven't finished yet.  I'll add it to my list!

The next week while I was yard saling, my husband was golfing.  I thought, "What could be worse than moving a swing set?"  I called him and told him that I was at a yard sale.  I said that I saw a tree there that I really liked so I asked them what kind it was.  I told Brian that they told me that if I dug it up, I could have it.  Before I could tell him that I wanted him to go dig it up and bring it home through the sun roof of his car, I started laughing so hard I couldn't talk.  He said, "Way to go, Anjie!  Are you going to dig it up?"  When I could finally talk again I told him I was kidding.  "You mean there is no tree?"  I guess he was willing to dig it up!

Red Dresser

I bought these dressers for $20 at a yard sale on Saturday.  I really LOVE how they turned out!  I am trying to decide on whether or not to add the mirror on the bigger dresser.  What do you think?  I would love a super cute quilt for her bed.  I love this quilt!

Applique Wall Art

nursery rhymes from an old book framed above crib.

 

 

I bought these wooden rings a the DI. The "I am a Child of God" was the only one I left alone. The other ones were taken apart and I made these new appliqued art to put in them. I hung them in the nursery.

Framed Patterns

I found these old patterns form the 70's at the trift store (DI) for 50 cents each. I painted some old dollar store frames I found in my basement and put cute scrapbook paper behind them.

Diaper Bag

This bag was made from some good deals! I bought the black fabric from a local thrift store (DI), the Amy Butler fabric (found in long 6 inch strips. I sewed them together) I found at another thrift store (Savers), I bought the pattern for the bag at Savers, and the interfacing I used is from a yard sale. I did alter the pattern a little bit, mostly the pockets and a few other places to get the max use out of the Amy Butler fabric.
