thrifty fifty

These days 50 cents doesn't go very far, but if you happen to be thriftily and craftily inclined then you can make a meagre sum of money stretch a long way. A remnant of machine embroidered raspberry and white cotton, for instance, bought from my local oppie yesterday for 50 cents has now become...

a chic pair of pillowcases

and a pretty drawstring pouch and quilted needlecase


Now that's 50 cents well spent!
