Vintage Finds!

Today Jereme and I went thrifting before he had to go to work and I scored lots of beautiful vintage fabric! Seriously I hit the mother load! So exciting! I can’t wait to make some pretty hair bows, headbands, and lots of other goodies!

My mom gave me the idea of when I find some vintage fabric to cut one square out of each fabric to make a quilt! So eventually after I find enough vintage fabric I’ll end up with an amazing vintage quilt! Yes!! The best idea ever! Im super excited about it! Since sometimes I find beautiful fabric and Im afraid to even cut into it thinking that Ill mess it up or something so now Ill always have that fabric with me but it’ll be made into a quilt!

I also found 4 of the CUTEST vintage little girl dresses! Seriously If I had a little girl I would keep these for her but since I don’t they will be up for grabs in my Oh My Vintage! Etsy shop by the end of the day! Yay! They are gorgeous and in great vintage condition the peter pan collars made me melt haha I love them!! Wish they were in my size!!

I’ve also been working on getting organized which really seems like a never ending project! haha! I dread the thought of moving since Im now getting organized here and Ill have to pack it all up and get organized at a new place! (which may be coming up soon! moving! such a grown up thing to do haha!) So I snagged up a couple wooden organizers at Michaels last night for 50% off!

Oh and one more thing we went to SCRAP in Portland and found BUCKETS I mean literally BUCKETS full of plastic letters and I got lucky got enough letters to spell out Oh My Deer and Jereme got MEH and I found a big S and a big J the letters were seriously $1 each!! HELLS YES!

Oh speaking of Portland I dropped off a bag full of Oh My Deer! goodies at the Craft Wonderland shop so if your in the Portland area go take a peek! Tons of amazing stuff by such talented folks!

Oh notice the rain boots? Missioni for Target! Hell Yes! I went there about 5 days after they released the collection since I didn’t have any money at the time so I didnt want to bum myself out and go the day of the opening haha So I waited till I had the money and we went there and they had ONLY kids clothing, kids shoes! thats IT! haha BUT thankfully I have small feet and fit into a kids size 4 HOLLA! So I snatched up these rain boots which Im so happy since its been raining cats and dogs here lately! Woot!

Okiedokie Ill be back later to show better photos of the dresses for the shop as well as some new cross stitch necklaces for Oh My Deer! shop!

Quilting!

Yesterday I decided it was time to get my quilting on! Me and my mom went to Joanns and looked through the fabric and I found some crazy cute fabrics to make into a quilt *ahem* ATTEMPT to make into a quilt! I picked through and found cherries, mushrooms, coffee cups, pears, flowers and misc. fruits!

I cut up lots of squares and realized this morning I didn’t cut enough so I ended up cutting more! Oh and we did make yet another trip to Joanns to pick up some more fabric!

I laid them out to get an idea of what its going to look like and im quite pleased! Woot!

Today I did some sewing finally! I did 4 rows tonight and im going to do as much as humanly possible tomorrow although I just have enough squares for 16 more rows so I hope it’ll be enough we’ll see! sheesh!

Im slowly getting the hang of it although some of the squares aren’t quite lined up perfectly OH WELL! lol. after lots of frusteration I keep feeling better when I say its my first quilt it doesnt have to be perfect! bahahaha oh well!

Just thought Id share my new hobby! Lets hope I finish it!
