I've placed a 9 yard fabric order at JoAnns and am hoping it arrives soon to be made into gifts! AND in the spirit of being thrifty, each yard was only $1.79! Not all of the fabric is for gifts so once I decide just what I'll be using I will add it to my amount spent.<br /><br />I've also done a test piece for another gift I'm making for 'the guys', and while it wasn't a complete bust I'm just not happy with it and will be trying another tweaked pattern this morning...<br /><br />I did spend $3 at the dollar store buying different sized notebooks and calendars for another gift... I'll take a stab at that project hopefully this weekend!<br /><br />Pics as soon as I have them!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3550935134894721138-4953905000204194731?l=50bb.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jen / Jinkieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00147932222686921650noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550935134894721138.post-85440700486454323682008-11-24T09:41:00.000-08:002008-11-24T09:43:37.048-08:00Not much to report - I have a hard time getting into the Christmas vibe until after Thanksgiving... then I go out on 'Black Friday' and keep on going from there!<br /><br />I took some time this weekend to organize my craft and sewing supplies so I can see what I have on hand and what I can make...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3550935134894721138-8544070048645432368?l=50bb.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jen / Jinkieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00147932222686921650noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550935134894721138.post-7751636257543368812008-11-20T01:16:00.001-08:002008-11-20T01:17:14.720-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ORcWuHc8tkY/SSUrESryPsI/AAAAAAAAABA/OC3kc5rYl7g/s1600-h/ThriftyUnderFifty_FollowMeAndSee.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 396px; height: 359px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ORcWuHc8tkY/SSUrESryPsI/AAAAAAAAABA/OC3kc5rYl7g/s400/ThriftyUnderFifty_FollowMeAndSee.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270666291641990850" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3550935134894721138-775163625754336881?l=50bb.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jen / Jinkieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00147932222686921650noreply@blogger.com2
