Viva la pillowcase!

I haven't started the project I spoke about on my previous blog but I will before the end of the week. The reason I haven't started on that one is due to my latest thrift shop find. It was the cutest little pillowcase and cost me 99cents. So I've been looking up tutorials for simple little dresses and lo and behold lots of gals have discovered such an easy way to make the cutest little items.....the simple little pillowcase. I thank all of you gals out there who have so generously posted tutorials on this pattern for little girl's dresses. So, even tho I should be in bed at almost midnite I am here to post a pic of my newest creation.....the first pillowcase dress by Nanny. And I know a six year old grand baby....errr...sorry....grand girl....who will have a huge smile for nanny and a look of excitement over the fact that nanny made her this dress.....YES ....that's what I'm talkin' bout....hee,hee.

My Favorite Pastime

Well, here I am a long while since I posted my one and only post so far. One of my fave things to do is to go thrift shopping. I feel it serves many purposes. 1. you never know what treasure will be found . 2.It helps the environment in that it keeps these treasures out of the land fill. 3. It can inspire the imagination to make something wonderful out of something someone else loved but could not keep any longer for whatever reason. My passion is knitting and sewing so needless to say things related to these two hobbies are the things that excite me the most. So today I will share a pic of a 2 metre piece of material that is so pretty and which i was lucky enough to get for 75 cents. Today I'll decide what I will create with it and at the end of the week I'll share it here in my blog. And due to the fact that I am the proud Nanny of many little grand babies I would say it's a safe estimate to make that what I make will involve the reward of a little smile and a great big hug! Which is what I live for!!!!!!Here's the photo...I even took a close up of the fantastic price....
