Yep, I did it again. I exceeded my craft budget. However, this time it was or a deal that I just could not turn down. I know that is what I say every time, but this time it was really true. About a week ago Joann's had a pattern sale on all of the Simplicity patterns, for $1 each!! I got 10 which was the limit, and then I went back the next day to get 5 more! For those of you who don't know much about patterns, these usually run about $14-$17 at the craft store, so I bought 15 for the price of one pattern!
Even though my sewing time is super limited these day, I am determined to get some super cute outfits made for Miss O. (Sorry Short Round, they just don't make many patterns for little boys) Fortunately I have a large fabric stash, so I did not have to buy any fabric to get started working on some of these projects.
We don't spend a lot of money on clothes in this house. Everything we wear is a hand me down, from the thrift store, or something my mom has bought. One of my dreams is to make a large part of the clothes we wear. I love the idea of producing many of the items that we need and use in this house. I will get there one day, it just takes time. I feel like I am on the cusp of having a little more opportunity to craft. Short Round is getting better at napping, but every time he starts nap, he starts to cut a new tooth, and it throws it all off. He is starting to get more mobile, and it makes him happy to be able to follow his sister around. Even though he might be getting into more things, he is not wanting the constant hugs and snuggles from me.( which is sweet and I love by the way) More crafting is on the horizon, I can just feel it.
Oh man, that just means my craft budget is in even more trouble.
