Jackpot!






Last week I went to Goodwill. And I got all of this fabric for only four dollars! Definitely a deal, and how cool is that eyelet fabric?!? Four dollars would be how much I pay per yard for that at any fabric store! The only problem is that I got some polyester fabric in the mix.... Anybody know what to do with it, without being outdated??:) Obviously I won't be making myself some polyester pants!

And then, today my Dad had gone to a yard sale that had yarn a dollar a skein. So we went back and I made an offer for all the yarn. I got over 40 skeins for 25 dollars! Woo-hoo! I won't have to buy yarn or fabric for quite a while!!
