Thrifting & sewing

I went to the local thrift store yesterday.
A while back I found a Pyrex mushroom bowl.
And yesterday I found another one in a small size.
I was so excited.
I also got the little glass bowl to use for a butter dish.


And I found this pattern from 1969.
I thought this was so cute.


Sewing for Alex.
This tote bag is for a guy who is opening a thrift shop
in Vancouver.
The name of the shop is "Fabtabulous".


And she ordered a few lunch bags.
Well not very exciting stuff, but that is what I have been doing.
I was looking for cute little boy fabric but
the selection was quite dismal.




Also working on more welders caps.
The guys are asking for them
Made 7 since yesterday.
But have lots more to do.

Curtains and thrifting

I finally got the other panel done.
The window is all frosted up.
The current temperature outside is -25!!
Not my favorite temperature.
I still have to do something about the window
over the sink.
It could use a blind because it gets very sunny
on that side in the summer time.
I am thinking I will try making a roman blind.
We'll see how that goes.


Thrifting.
Not something I usually do.
But we do have a very nice thrifts shop in town.
It is sponsored by Mennonite Central Committee.
I found this Pyrex bowel with the cute mushroom design.
I couldn't resist it.


The other thing I found was this pattern.
I thought the outfits where cute, but I really
liked the picture of the little girls.
