Thrifting

Hello, I've been gone a few days from blogging, I've been working on projects and doing some thrift shopping. I'm quite obsessed with rag rugs at the moment, so out I went to buy some sheets. I have quite a pile stacked up in the closet now, waiting to be cut. After one round of cutting a twin sized sheet , my back and fingers were killing me. I tried tearing them but I don't like how frayed it looks. I discovered if I put some band-aids on my thumb and finger it cushions it nicely. So I'll have another go at it. It is definitely cheaper buying at thrift stores than getting new fabric. I bought new fabric and started the rug you see and it was quite spendy. After much time on

the computer I found most people use old sheets and clothes and whatnot. I'm all for saving and it doesn't hurt that those things are being reused. We need a lot more of that, don't we? In fact. I'm looking into more ways to recycle, if anyone has any crafty ideas. I'm always on the lookout for new projects (yes, I have too many on the burner already) but I do love seeing new things, being inspired by other people's creations. What can it hurt?  My craft room is overflowing at the moment but it's a good overflow, as I do love to see all my pretties and such. That's the bright side of having a room all to yourself, you can fill it full then shut the door on the mess! Well I believe I've been on here long enough, duty calls, meaning I need to get off my butt and clean the kitchen, then some crochet time, my favorite. See you next time, enjoy you're day!
