Yaaay, Dollar Tree Monday.
We were out of pickles (theirs are good !) and knockoff cotton swabs,
sounds like a good reason. Plus, I
wanted some cheese popcorn. Got our usual goodies, contemplated some of the
just-stocked Christmas decorations, decided I’d possibly craft and embroider
our own felt wreath – all they had were triangle trees and snowmen. Only thing
I’m more tired of than snowmen is Minions. Oh, and the salted caramel licorice
smells great, but tastes pretty bland, just so you know.
Scored three mini-rugs ‘cause
I couldn’t decide which color I wanted most. Believe it or not, I left three
other colors behind. Came home with burgundy, beige, and green. They’re listed
as ‘all-purpose mats’, and measure 12 by 18 inches. Good size for a dollhouse
or photo.
Once home, I wanted to sew.
Printed up the blouse pieces from McCalls 6317 and folded the paper around FT Frankie. Took a half-inch off the
front and back, and found a narrow strip of scrap fabric, which took an inch
off the bottom. While it’s hard to tell, that material has some metallic
accents, amid the franticness of the print. Came out OK, if a bit baggy still.
Took off another quarter inch from the front, then the back, but added a
quarter-inch back to the back, at the opening. Now I have altered patterns for
pants and a blouse to try out ! And I haven’t spent an extra dime yet.
I want a pickle. . .
