I've Been Thrifting Again...Some Goodies And One Sassy Dog

Got a few more ties for my granddaughter's skirt and headbands and flowers.

This sweet little top was meant to be kept and worn; then I realized it said hand wash cold; do not twist;lay flat to dry.....etc., etc.,.......that means too much trouble for me:D..so maybe it will be useful for something else in the future. No biggie......each item only costs .99 at a certain thrift store we go to, so I don't feel as though it was a waste of money. The shiny fabric is a dark yellow that looks rose colored when you turn it in the light; it's a blouse, will make some nice pretties! and to the right of the blouse is a butterscotch organza-type curtain sheer......huge...already made some flowers out of it, and it burned nicely :D unfortunately my grandson caught me with a candle and a stack of circles. Poop.


And this men's shirt was what I was looking for, so I could make over some stained t-shirts of mine. A few weeks ago, I would've just used Hoss'; but he actually got rid of most of his clothes he doesn't wear anymore....go figure! The dress is huge and twirly at the bottom, lined in off white, and has a long row of covered buttons..lots of potential there.........peasant blouse for me?? lol


Isn't this the best? My daughter spotted this wrap-around nubby acrylic skirt lined in black (hmm,so many flowers in my future!!) As soon as I saw it, I thought "cape.....or poncho for Granddaughter" it's lavender and gray shades, with light lavender ribbons and soft mint green ribbons woven through-out :D And look at the dusty lavender satin floor length formal dress....lined in soft lavender.......flowers flowers flowers......and for the cape/poncho :D


I got this pink stretchy turtleneck from a bag of clothes my niece outgrew, and cut the bottom off for a skirt for my great-niece to wear to dance class. I used a few of the white burned fabric flowers on the front of the skirt to hide some light stains; a zig-zag stitch for each stem and a piece of ribbon tied in a knot for the leaves. Cute! Her mama will have to hand-sew the elastic down after she sizes it. One pink twirly skirt for you to dance in, Wena! Leg warmers coming up soon :D


Isn't it sweet?


I can't remember if I showed the leg warmers after I finished.....these are from that same beige sweater; so I got a cap, a shrug, and a pair of leg warmers out of one sweater :D by the way they fit my 12 year old niece perfectly and she put the cap, the shrug and the leg warmers all on tonight :D

Wanda
What can I say? She discovered that if Mama talks on the phone, she can get into more 'stuff'. So here I am trying to take a pic of the 2 purses I bought, for the handles....lol.......a bargain at .99 each!.......and basic black shoes to wear with my slacks.........and she brings me the phone. In fact, she INSISTED I take the phone and leave the room. Wanda......CHILL!!
