More Thrifted Goodness

I have had the most amazing thrifting karma lately. Check out my goodies and you will agree...

This delicious 100% cotton ribbon yarn, it's like t-shirt material. I am making a market bag out of this, I will post it when I am done. I got 12 skeins for 7.96, they retail for 8.95 per skein.


Designer yarn 18 skeins for $7.96 for all 18, retails for $11.95 per skein. 50% Alpaca, and 50% wool, yummy. I'd say that's a steal!


Vintage Trim, I love the 70's colors!! and 240 yoyos in all diffrerent colors, for $2.98, WOW!

Addicted to the Thirift Store

I, like many crafters love the thrift store! I just so happened to find one in my neighborhood that has an abundance of vintage and not so vintage sewing and crafting supplies. I really scored with the vintage sewing patterns this week. I have another Etsy shop besides Zuliblu, where I post vintage sewing patterns, notions and other vintage finds for sale. This shop is called Ifyouthinksew and it has been pretty successful. Now, I know I won't get rich from selling vintage patterns but it does give me a little extra money to feed my fabric addiction! Look at some of the great patterns I found over the weekend.


Love the baby doll blouse, so 70's, and the short, short his and hers robe pattern.

This looks like the Bridesmaid dress pattern from my first wedding, and the scarf and bag pattern is just so sweet.

Addicted to Swapping...

Oh my, that title kinda sounds dirty, oops. Actually I am addicted to craft swaps through Craftser. I have had to limit my swapping to one at a time. Why you ask? Because there have been times in the not to distant past where I have been involved in four at a time and that gets a little crazy! My latest swap is the mini make a friend swap round 1, and my partner is fabricfriend. In this swap we send three packages, one a month beginning in August. The first package was to be a craft kit of a new crafting technique to our partner. Check out the amazing first package she put together for me of jewelry she sells in her Etsy shop, amazing.

Picture 1, the whole package Picture 2, this is what the kit makes, cute!


Thank you Fabricfriend, I can't wait for package two.
