Catch The Clearance Sales!

Thursday January 8, 2009
One of my New Years resolutions was that I will make and share a new Christmas ornament each month of this year... I also resolved to use my stash rather than buy more fabric BUT I found the perfect red and white striped fabric for candy cane ornaments so I had to buy some.... especially since it was 75% off. Then I realized if I am going to share how to make the ornaments, I should share some of the supplies you may need so that you can take advantage of clearance sales too. Here's a sneak peek at the ornaments I will offer directions for throughout 2009 and what you will need to buy

I make those fleece blankets for Christmas gifts over the last couple of years. I could not throw away those end squares. Now I have accumulated a lot. Has anyone any idea what you can do with these squares???

I know that vets and animal shelters all need small blankets for the cats and dogs… I would sew then together for blankets… or you could use the squares for potholder padding in these simple pot holders
