More Op-Shop Treasures

I went Op-Shopping again yesterday in Port Pirie and got a huge haul of goodies!
Lots of fabric including 3m of Flannelette.
Some ricrac, buttons and zips.
And some great baby clothes.

I couldn't believe my luck! and it cost me around $50!! all up.

New Dress from old skirt

I went Op-shopping on Friday and found a size 10 Ladies skirt in the most beautiful embroidered cotton fabric. It was perfect for a make over into a new dress for Lilly. I managed to cut the back and front from the back and front of the skirt. I used some white poly cotton for the facings and added snaps at the shoulders to save me doing buttons and buttonholes.

Woolaholics Chocolate swap.

My chocolate swap arrived ...from DONNA

Donna and I chat most days and she didn't give it away once.
And she came up with the idea of a chocolate swap when we were chatting one day.

She couldn't believe it when she got ME as her swapper.

I got some Lindt chocolate my favourite, some Organic hot chocolate which I'm already drinking, Yummy bikkies, MM's ..which are for the kids and some nappies for the bub on the way.

When I opened the parcel Lilly said, "Baby will like nappies."

I'm so Very Happy Thank you so much Donna
