Homemade Laundry Soap

A couple weeks ago I tried to make some homemade laundry detergent. It did not turn out so hot! I messed it up big time! So, I found a new recipe that I thought would work better. It was tons easier, plus I did it correctly this time. I keep seeing people say, "be careful or you'll have soap everywhere!", which gives the the clue that laundry soap is probably best bought in the store. So what do I do, decide to make it. That's the thrifty-ness in me I guess.
I got my new recipe from The White Silk Purse and she did all the figures on how much you save and stuff (I'll just take her word)! You should check it out and if you're thrifty like me you can make your own! Good luck!

Owl Pillow

So, I guess I have owl fever. I think they are just so stinking cute. The other night I decided that I was going to try out one of my Pinterest finds! Here is the end result. I'm so proud of this little guy, he is so cute.

T-Shirt Quilt

A friend of mine gave me some of her t-shirts to make a T-Shirt quilt. So, now a year and a half later I have finally finished it... and just in time to miss Christmas, too! Aren't I good! I'm definitely not a pro at this, but I think that I'm getting better every time!

Lets hope that she doesn't see this before she gets her package!

Christmas Blocks

So, I saw these on Pinterest and decided I needed some. I think that they are cute, even though they originals are way cuter! I'll get better at this thing!
