A little shop at the goodwill store

 


I hear people all the time buying craft haul’s that they shop at Goodwill. I have a few stores side by side to each other and I thought why not give it a try. I really thought none of them would have any craft but a short walk and there I was. 

My best buy are the Alice and Wonderland stickers!! Only $1. I couldn’t believe it. I just bought Alice stickers from AliExpress but they were close to $5 and they are always out of stock online so this was a real deal. 

Under those stickers I bought some blue rhinestones for $1, which are double the length then what the picture shows. 

I also bought some Lucy stickers because they were so cute. Lucy is my dog so when I scrapbook photos of her she can now have her own set of stickers. 

And I bought two colourful and bright necklaces, which I thought were a bit fun. All up it cost me: $11.50. Not bad when I could have bought one or two supplies online instead I got a whole haul. 

Have you ever shopped at a Goodwill store for craft and was it a successful trip? Please comment below.

Reshuffling my craft space for scrapbooking

When you feel uninspired change up your craft space  So I haven’t been scrapbooking as much because I have a set of drawers with stickers, washi tape and other cool stationery and then I have my tub of scrapbooking paper in my cupboard.  I was thinking about what I could do to bring my scrapbooking closer. Here’s a photo of my tub of scrapbooking paper. Look how undesirable it looks. Inside I have large paper about A4 size and A3. Then I have 12x12 inch paper. Plus an ice cream tub full of scrap paper.  It just made me feel unsatisfied and what makes me excited to work on a hobby is that I can see the resources and get excited to get started. But this set-up was not empowering me. I started brainstorming about maybe making a craft space. I found a table from IKEA with draws on both sides that I could put my scrapbooking paper and accessories in as well as my diamond painting. I also found a desk backing which is like a three level high shelving that attaches to the table....

Crocheting my first blanket and how you can to

Finding a relaxing crochet project for beginners So I decided that crocheting animals etc. is pretty stressful. Not really stressful but not relaxing. A cool end result but I wanted to find something to crochet where I didn’t have to count the stitches or focus on the different type of stitches. So I decided to crochet a simple blanket.  I just wanted to use a small amount of stitches and not count them. I didn’t want to do anything fancy. But I still wanted to crochet. I believe if I could find something to stitch that I could just relax doing it than it was worth it. I started googling a simply blanket planet using single crochet stitch. It’s simple start off with the first row with a chain stitch and then turn it over and do the rest with a single crochet stitch. Brilliant.  Why single crochet blankets don't work without a chain stitch So I started crocheting a baby blanket. It didn’t work out. The sides were uneven and the blanket was all different lengths. So I googled an...
