| My latest Preciousssssss.... |
Yeah, I now hit up FBook
about once a day when I used to shun it completely. Several machine embroidery
designers on Etsy – who had designs I swooned over ! – invited me to join their
FB pages… and I soon learned FB fan pages = coupons and freebies. I’ve probably saved
about $40. that way, so while I don’t write much, even when Beloved Hubby tags
me, I do hit up craft fan sites I like, hoping for discounts and goodies, or
just announcements of new stuff for sale.
Today, however, I swooned
over something new. An image of a Build-A-Bear Princess Luna ! The one I’ve
wanted and whined about not having since I saw their version of Fluttershy in ’13.
So, guess what I’m ordering in April – just 11 days from now ?! Not getting the
deluxe version, as the cape, crown, and shoes aren’t at all show accurate. I’d
consider it if they were, just to save on shipping, but they’re made for gold-hunting
magpies and kids who adore shiny, and while I do turn my head in case of
glitter, I’d rather make my own than try to adapt theirs. I can probably do the
neckpiece and shoes from black glitter vinyl… man, I wish I didn’t hate Hobby Lobby
so much…
And that’ll pretty much tap
me, except for the $15. I’ll soon have from PineCone surveys, which I’m sure
will go to various Etsy sellers shortly after it hits PayPal. And to think, I
was just gonna go for a walking foot for KJ and a free-motion foot for Odyssey,
and leisurely spend the rest on Etsy next month…
I know, I know, I should
have sewed today, since I’ve been cleared for it, but it was another dismal
day, and I ended up surfing for freebies. Snagged twelve embroidery designs and
six sewing patterns (three of which I don’t want/can’t use), mostly from
Craftsy, but I got the embroideries thanks to The Sewing Loft, a compilation site of
awesome craft goodness. They had a list of a hundred free designs, and while I
had seen maybe a third of them before, the rest were new, so I snagged a dozen
of what I liked. They also have 100+ Free Zipper Bag
Patterns, 100+ Fat Quarter projects, 100 Quilt Blocks, 100 Scarf projects…
all kindsa goodies. I subscribed to the newsletter, you may wanna check ‘em
out, you might find something you like, and free is always a great price !
Can’t wait for tomorrow –
Dollar Tree and Hancock Fabrics, here we come !
