Thrift Store Diving

Anybody who really knows me, knows that I love a good bargain. Over the holiday weekend I went to one of my favorite thrift stores in L.A. called Jet Rag for their $1 sale. I absolutely loved it!!!! I found some really great stuff that I hope to transform into something better. Check out the photos to see the animal in her natural habitat!!!

New Things To Come: Bargainista Fashionista

So, I've been thinking of adding a new section to my blog called the "Bargainista Fashionista" in which I will put a post a photo either once or twice a week of one of my under $50 outfits. Since I consider myself to be a rather fashionabe person!!! I will start this new section in the next week or so, so stay tuned in and hopefully I can encourage you to search for great deals on a budget. Until next time!!!

Soooo Sorry!!!

Hello, everyone!!! I'm sooooo sorry I've been out of touch lately. I have been so extremely busy with school that I haven't had time to make much of anything. The semester is coming to an end so I will have more time to craft and sew. Be patient and keep your eyes peeled for more stuff to come. Thanks, everyone. Talk to ya soon!!!

I've Been M.I.A.

Hello, all! I know I've been missing for sometime now. I just started back to school and on top of that my sewing machine is sick. So, I took "her" to the shop and now I wait. They told me it was going to ready last Tuesday... I waited til Friday then they said "she" should be ready by this Friday!!! I just want my machine back in one piece. It's lonely without the sweet sound of her motor. How I miss thee!!! I will be sewing more stuff as soon as she gets out. Be patient with me.
