Birthday Saw

Whenever my Birthday rolls around each year, I can RARELY think of what I want?? 

My husband always begs to tell him what he should get me, 

but all I usually want is some sort of decoration/home improvement item for the house. 

He told me this year that I'm not allowed to get anything for the house...

I have to think of something I want for ME:)

I thought a lot about it and decided I want a SAW!

He was quite surprised when I told him & asked what in the world I was going to do with a saw???

I told him, "Make stuff !" 

He said, "What in the world are you going to make?"

I said, "Just stuff...you know, cute, crafty things."

He said, "Whatever. I'm just glad you actually want something for you!"

Little does he know, everything I want to make will actually go IN THE HOUSE ;)

So...HOPEFULLY my husband is going to get me a saw next week!

Any suggestions on the saw/power tool you use MOST in your home for Home Improvement projects or Crafty Decor??? 

I'm THINKING I want a jigsaw, but any advice would be GREAT!

Beautiful Chandelier for under $30!!!

I just discovered Wuslu a week or so ago & now I am addicted to checking it daily!

They have a DIFFERENT DEAL A DAY, EVERY DAY...

always $5 shipping!

Today's deal is this beautiful Chandelier...for only $21 !!!

I had to share with YOU

I want one for my bedroom or bathroom!
For those of you with little girl's, I think it would be adorable in the corner of a bedroom!
*I didn't notice at first that it doesn't actually LIGHT UP, but you can put candles in it.  Maybe not quite as functional, but still a beautiful decor piece!

Sling Book Shelf

CSN Stores recently gave me the opportunity to review something from their stores & I decided to order the Primary Sling Bookshelf, to organize my books for my Preschool Room!

I was nervous about the QUALITY of this product, because the $40 price tag seemed so reasonable when compared to the $250 price tag on THIS ONE.

Assembling it was easy & it is EXTREMELY sturdy when put together!
The material that the books sit on seems very durable & I like the fun bright colors (but if it isn't for you, they also have a neutral colored one!) I love being able to change out the books that are at my son's reach & now he can easily pick a book he wants to read & just as easily put it away!

I have been very happy with it!!!

Tier Skirt

These cute tier skirts are only $5 right now with .97 cent shipping at Walmart!

Just passing on a great deal that my cousin emailed me about!

 

Fashion District Buys

There were a LOT of deals scored at the LA Fashion District, but I wanted to share a few of my favorites!

My husband got a new suit at this shop in the Alley!

His ended up being more than $39.99 because he got a nicer one, but they even had a tailor nearby that hemmed his pants in less than 15 minutes & all together he walked away with a brand new tailored suit for $80!

The fabrics were of course on the list of my favorites...at $1 per yard, I could have spent another day just looking at fabrics!

And here is a round-up of the rest of my favorite deals...

Yes, that is a new swimsuit for $2.50!

I'm telling you, if you haven't been...you need to check it out!
It was so fun!!!

Loads of Fabric...WHAT should I make???

I posted earlier this week about scoring some deals on Fabric at the LA Fashion District this past weekend.

I have some ideas for SOME of the fabric, but others I just bought because I figured I could make something with it...but WHAT? 

Any ideas on what I could make...leave a comment, I'd love our opinions!

I bought this to make curtains for my kitchen windows...

I think I will love the stripes & I can finally take down the paper thin blinds.

Any suggestions on what style of curtains I should make??

Or of a great tutorial on HOW TO make great curtains??

I loved this black striped material, but don't know what I am going to do with it yet?

I got enough of this to make a skirt. It is see through, so I'm thinking a fun color needs to go underneath to peek through??

This creme fabric has kinda cool rectangles all over it. 
I LOVED it, but have no ideas of what to use it for?

This is a thin white fabric with subtle stripes. 

I think I want to make a shower curtain with it for my Master Bath??

Brown Lacy Fabric

No ideas for this yet??

 cute Pink material. 

I think I will make a baby girl blanket for my next friend/family member that has a girl!

 This would be fun to make hair flowers with.

Any other ideas?

Thought these 2 would make a cute skirt together...

Any ideas for these??

Loved this black fabric.

Kind of feels like netting. 

I could see this framed on the wall somewhere in my house withe some cute fabric flowers in the corner??

I honestly want your suggestions!

I also bought a bunch of solids that I didn't take close ups of.
I wish I went there with projects in mind & I could have bought specific amounts and colors, 

but I didn't & I just bought a lot of randomness.

What are your ideas on what I could make???

LA Fashion Distric

We escaped to the beach this past weekend with our friends, Bryan & Natalie...

without our kids!!!

This was the 1st trip we have taken without the kiddos, so I was nervous...but it was a much needed trip & we had a BLAST! And thankfully my kids were in great hands, so I could relax...and just lay on the beach & send seashell messages to my hubby...

After a day of relaxing on the beach, we headed to the LA Fashion District!

Have any of you been there??? 

I couldn't believe I never knew about it!

It was SOOOOO FUN!

Shopping galore...and then more shopping...and more shopping...

and the best part? 

The great DEALS! You go back and forth with the shop owners on the price, trying to score a good deal & most of the time we did!

It was crazy FUN!

 I got LOADS of $1 per yard fabric...

We had the most amazing Hot Dogs for lunch from a street vendor.

Seriously, if you go...get a HOT DOG! I'm NOT a big hot dog fan, but these are AMAZING...

And when we got back to the hotel we pulled out ALL of the stuff we bought, spread it across our bed & took a picture! We started to add up the total COST, but as we kept adding to the total, the "amazing deals" we got didn't seem so amazing...so we decided to stop calculating & enjoy the fact that each item was a good deal, even if we spent a little too much in the end;)

I'm excited to show you all of the good deals I got throughout the week & show you some close up shots of my new pile of fabric & tell you my plans for some of the fabrics...

But for now...I need to get our bags unpacked & do some loads of laundry (the hardest part about coming home from vacation)


If you have been to the LA Fashion District, please leave a comment telling me YOUR favorite part! I'm already trying to figure out who I can convince to go back with me & would love any advice on your favorite stores,ect!
