Craft Store Finds

My mom and I went to Joann's today. I needed tule for my art doll and I
was hoping to get the STUFFED magazine too.

I was lucky and found the STUFFED magazine. I also got these great orange bowls. I LOVE the color orange. Not sure if they will stay in my studio or not yet. Also got this super cute chicken timer. Could not pass that up! Bought more pins but these have large knobs on the heads which are easier for me to pick up when my hands swell up. The best score of the day was the iron on ric rac felt! I got pink, aqua and lime green. They were in the clearance section and had between 8 and 10 years on them for, are you ready for it?, .97 cents a yard!!!! The regular price is $2.99 a yard! I grabbed the cute colors but may go back tomorrow to see if I missed any other good ones.

I was so proud of myself for not going nuts-o bunnies and sticking to my budget even with the ric rac. Have you scored anything awesome lately? I'd love to hear about it!

Never Let Me Go To The Craft Store Alone!

I went a little nuts at the
craft store yesterday!

I needed embroidery thread bad! I was so tired of making do

with the colors I had so I made a little swatch card with all

my felt colors and then took that to the store with me to

match colors. Turned out to be one of the smartest

things I've ever done. The I wrote the DMC thread numbers

on the swatch card next to the felt color so I always

 know which one I used. Brillant eh?

I also bought a ton of thread all not shown here, a bunch
of stuff on clearance, paper punches, magnets and

needle packs because for some reason I'm down
to only one needle. How does that happen?

Oh and I found this. SCORE! I love this magazine.
It only comes out twice a year and I can never
find it, but I did this time, the very last one!

It has so much inspiration and some of my
twitter friends and people who's blogs I follow have
softies in here! Squee! So excited!
