We are amidst the rush of packing for the first little getaway with the three of us in... well... a very long time. But because I am such a dedicated blogger (snickers and huffaws may ensue now) I must be true to my weekly feature of thrifty thursday!
So this week my friends we scored BIG time. On monday my lovley and oh so very much heavily pregnant and due like 4 days ago friend had me and cole over to play with her child (out of utero) and her dear mom showed us the basics of knitting. And I love it! So for those of you counting at home, I am now sewing and knitting in the same week! (not superbly mind you) but nevertheless becoming a domesticated woman and loving it. So because I have never truly tried knitting before, except when I was like 7 and my oma tried to show me, but I was much too cool for it at the time and wouldn't really focus, I have absolutley no equipment. And the best part of taking up a new hobby is the equipment people! So strolling into the thrift shop this week with a sleeping baby (YAY! Buying me like an extra 30 whole minutes of browsing) I found no less than, 2 sets of what look like to me, totally awesome knitting needles in two sizes that are made in england! 50 cents for each pair. 3 balls of gorgeous yarn again 50 cents. another embroidery loopy thing for crafting with cole on for free peeps! a little golden book about colours for Cole 25cents, the davinci code for my friend Karen who's been wanting to read it but because that darn movie angels and deamons is out the lineup at the library is atrocious also 50cents. 20 awesomely wonderful plastic hangars 2 bucks, a cute little bucket and shovel set for the boy. and an absolutley stellar Duvet cover. It is like strips of bright beautiful and oh so bold colours. And Jer and I know we want another kiddo, and since we are adament about our children sharing a room they are going to be in bunks, so my bright idea is cut the king in half and then I have matching BEAUTIFUL duvet covers for the kiddies!for only 4 bucks! Love it.
Okay I am off to read a bit more of my book and then to sleep, as we are up early to get through the border lineup! Family Camp weekend here we come WOOO HOOO!
Happy Victoria Day to you all!
