And I made these last week:

Newborn Elephant Beanir

Newborn-3months

And made these during the weekend:

Slippers/Booties

ELEPHANT!!!!!!

I made this Elephant Beanie yesterday, it makes me happy just looking at it.

I didn't like the patters that I had seen for elephant ears and realized out of the blue that I could make them on my own as a spin off to a butterfly I had made a while back.

The ears are basically 2 butterfly wings.

Elephant Ears:

Make the magic circle and do 3 dc, then 4 tr. turn

Chain 4 and do 2 dc in each tr, slip stitch between, 2 hdc in each dc stitch from last row. turn.

Chain 1 and do *1 hdd in next 2 stitches, 2hcd in next* repeat until sl

Sl, Ch1 and do *1dc in next 2 stitches, 2dc in next* repeat until end. Sl and your done!

Blue Wall?

Pink Wall?

I couldn't decide which wall the beanies look best in front of?!

On a side note, we found a garage sale while on the way from mystery shopping a local burger joint (such fun, you feel like a private eye! lol)

Gingham rain coat and purple dress - 12 months

Total for our finds: $1.00

Wanna be Anthropologie knock off

We went 'strollin' yesterday, we ended up at Anthroplogie.

I am desperate to figure out how to DIY this headband:

$32.00 Anthropologie headband

Anthropologie Nella Headband

It looks do-able, the inside is fabric and the back is almost like an elastic band similar to a hairband.

....I would've taken pics of it piece by piece, but I felt like they knew 'my plan' -Hahaha 

Another reason to diy it, is that its a little tight on my head....and I don't have a big head. Hmmm

EARRINGS!!!!

Today I made my first pair of earrings, using a small amount of yarn that I thrifted yesterday. They were wonderfully easy to work up, I started and finished them in one feeding, the starving baby girl. (Thank goodness for Boppy pillows!)

1st pair of earrings

I have added these earrings to the list of items that I will be obsessed with making

:)

Thrifty Treasures from yesterday!

Chair, 2 sweaters, bag of yarn

This is the breakdown:

Green chair with paisley and flower fabric - $10.00

Pink cable knit sweater $0.50

Eddie Bauer cream cable knit vest $0.50

Bag FULL of yarn (no labels) $1.00

Green Paisley Chair

This chair was an exciting find! Im trying to find a label on it, but as of now it is a mystery.

Here's the back story:  We were dropping items off in the loading dock of our favorite local thrift store, The Animal Humane Society reTAIL store, when we noticed this wonderful chair sitting there! I rang the door bell twice and someone came to the door, they said as is they would sell us the chair for $10 or they would vacuum the chair and sell it for $25. I said we'll take it as is! They gave us a broom and i swept off some lint and dog hair, and loaded the pretty chair right up.

I LOVE IT!! It might be my favorite thrift store find so far :)

First time Blogging

Welcome to my blog.

This is some bed sheet yarn that I made out of a full size sheet that I purchased at the Animal Humane Society New Mexico's thrift store, its call reTAIL. Love the name. Too cute.

 Sheet + yarn = sh-arn? 

Sh-arn in Milky Salmon

Flower Doily made with Sh-arn

This is the unfinished flower doily that I made with the sh-arn

 (I will show the process with the next sheet that I turn into sh-arn).

This project is going to become something amazing and 100% up cycled. I will post pics soon.
