Friday Finds

I'm so excited about today!

First, I managed to do our finances after taking care of the kiddo, watching her play as I worked. Yes... and she didn't get into any trouble! Then after putting her down for a nap I managed to weed the area by the new trees I planted a month ago (all 14 are growing nicely!), watered them, and my flowers by the house. I managed to do my 40 minute Turbo Jam workout before needing to make lunch (whew... I could feel the burn to say the least... all those lunges and squats...). After lunch we went to town... more specifically to Liquidation World. There were so many deals to be had!

The photo you see below is everything I got for $1. No joke. There were two bins, you got a bag from the front of the store and could fill it with anything in those bins and only pay $1! So I got 4 really bright flower pillow shams (perfect for a kids room), an orange paper folder, a queen bed skirt in blue and a striped blue twin bed skirt, an orange, yellow and red basket that matches a set of three I bought earlier, an ornament (I thought of someone when I saw this, so I'll be giving it to them later), some leather cleaner (I can try to use it on my rather bad looking jacket to see if I can get another year or two from it), 5 small pieces of different fabric (I think 2 of them are supposed to be table mats, and the other is an unfinished ironing board cover, but they are nice fabric), a cute decorative box (see my project 365 day 26 for the 'details' ha ha), and 3 bags of Easter grass. I'm pumped!

Yeah... I crammed that bag full!

I also got a few other things that were on sale. These items were 50% off, plus buy one get one free, so I got a cute box (which I already put together... ha ha) for princess dress up (there's enough there to dress as Belle, Cinderella, Snow White, or Aurora, including jewelry) and a cute pony costume that will fit Baby M for Halloween this year. Total was $12.50. The box of dress up stuff I'll be putting away until Baby M is a bit older, then it will make a good gift. I'd been eyeing that set for ages now... just didn't want to pay $25 for it. I remember wanting something similar to that when I was a kid.


After all those great deals, we came home and hubby worked... again. They are done the field, thankfully, and were able to cover the silage pile that same day (which hasn't happened... at least not since I've been here). Anyway, I didn't do too much in the afternoon except watch Baby M... who was fussing a lot for some reason (she's teething yet again). I did manage to finally pull out the sewing machine and put the edging on a blanket I've been working on for ages now. Voila! It is done!

You probably can't see it but I bought 2 packages of double bias tape in dark brown to sew along the edges of the blanket.

So, that's my day in a nutshell. I'm thinking it was a good day. I can't wait to rest!

Have a great weekend everyone!
