Because EVERYONE is doing it!

Growing up my mom used to tell me not to do things because everyone else is doing it.  You know the old saying "would you jump off a cliff if everyone else was?"  I used to tell my mom "yes, I sure would!" kind of a little sassy back in the day!  Since I am trying to be better about not buying so much and spending less on myself I only got one thing during this sale!  I know everyone is saying how that is one of their resolutions and I guess it's also become one of mine!  I did pass on these two things on my wishlist.  So thanks to all you wonderful bloggers out there that inspire me to try and be better!  I really enjoy each and every comment you leave and that you take time out of your busy day to read my silly blog!  Thanks!  Something I know most of you don't do but I find such enjoyment out of is quilting.  I have been busy finishing up a quilt for each one of my three kids and I wanted to share a picture of the finished product!
Monster quilt for my little monster!

Here are the three little kiddo's with their quilts!

  1. If you had to get one thing from this sale, you sure picked a good one! I am actually wearing the Refined Cord dress today! I absolutely love it. Which color did you end up getting? Love the quilts. Your children will cherish those for the rest of their lives!

I've only made 2 quilts ever...they're so time consuming!!! I have a quilt frame and everything...maybe I should give it a try again. Thanks for sharing!! My favorite are the little monsters!! =)

  7. A stylish Mom and a talented one at that. Beautiful work. Good for you for sticking to your budget. It's all too tempting reading blogs all day but I like you am sticking to a budget too. I tell myself "just say no!"

  8. I do not know how you do it all! Those quilts are beautiful, I wish I could do that, but luckily I have a mom and SIL who make quilts for my kids so I will take it! When I checked (just now) the shirt dress was gone, probably better for me so I don't spend any money!
