TTMT #745 – BFF Retreat 2023, #thriftcrawl Haul

Leave a reply

In which I share the amazing #thriftcrawl haul from almost a week with the world’s best BFF, Jewells68!

Y’all, it was so great to have her here, and I’m sure you can tell how happy it makes me. I was so excited, I even forgot to mention how completely awesome the new downstairs ceiling looks!

We hit Savers, Goodwill (two regular stores & the Outlet), Habitat Restore, Texas Thrift, Austin Creative Reuse, and the Austin Antique Mall. We also had a great time at Ikea!

As always, I miss her already. ♥

TTMT #744 – Alpine Twins

Leave a reply

This week I share my finished Alpine Raggedy Ann & Andy rescue! I spent about 12 hours on these guys and am absolutely delighted with the result. Since these came from my husband’s childhood home, these will go to my sister-in-law for her grandkids.

I used my grandmother’s 1990s McCall’s Crafts Raggedy Ann & Andy pattern for the apron and bloomers.

Second time’s a charm! There was an issue with my first upload of this video so I’m trying again.

I’m exhausted and my hair is wet, but I’m here! Today I share a quick post-weekend trip video with fun goodies from Jeanie and a surprise find from my husband’s childhood home in Alpine, TX.

TTMT #740 – Several Finishes

Leave a reply

In which I share three small-ish finishes. These were super fun, super fast projects, which was just what I needed this past week!

Iliad had surgery last week to remove a bladder stone. It’s been almost a week now and he’s doing much better. He has one more week of cone-wearing. The hardest part for both he and Ramses has been the separation. As soon as the sutures are out, they can be together again!
