Floral Rayon Fabric + Plans

I love going to Walmart and checking out their clearance fabrics. This fantastic rayon, semi-sheer, floral beauty was on clearance for $2 a yard! I bought all they had: 2 5/8 yd.



I have four projects in mind for this particular fabric.


Top Left Corner: I want to put arm patches on a sweater and use this fabric in the slit, so you can see the pretty colors pop out when my arms bend.

Top Right Corner: I was doing some research on this one, and I think I might need to have a stretchy fabric (which this one isn't), but I'm not 100% certain.

Bottom Left Corner: I am thinking of making a pull-over. It will be nice to have in the summer when its really hot. I will have to have a tank top under it, but at least I will have a little more sun and mosquito protection!

Bottom Right Corner: I want to make a ruched scarf!!!!!!




...Okay. Admittedly, by  the time this has been posted, I have already made the scarf.

Down from 100

Afternoon, everyone :) On Tuesday, I didn't have any classes, so I decided to put up my nail polish rack and sort through some items to get rid of for the 100 Item Challenge!





I got rid of a bunch of DVDs and a few VHSs, as well as an old coffe pot, a microphone, and a few other things. It brings me from 23/100 to 38/100. Is anyone else willing to try this?!

100 Item Challenge - Day 1


Good afternoon everyone! I have decided to participate in a 100 item challenge. It's a challenge to de clutter our lives and take notice of how much we actually have! You get 30 days to donate, toss, gift, or sell 100 items! That's 25 a week!!!




Today is day 1, and here is a list of stuff I am getting rid of!

If you want to keep up with some of what I'm doing, check me out on instagram: youngmrshealthy or #100itemchallenge


1/100 A toy octopus I bought to draw on. Drawing complete, time for it to find a new home!


2/100 A hot dog costume I bought for my cocker spaniel Romeo. It was second hand and I got it because it was too cute to pass up! $3 down the drain.

3/100 one of my wooden jewelry boxes. I just love jewelry boxes and containers, but I never really use them... I don't even wear jewelry very often because I'm allergic to metal in my ears.


4-17/100

These are elf products that I never use, for one reason or another. They have just been sitting in a drawer ... Why have I been saving them?!



18-20/100 I used to sell jewelry on facebook, and I have a LOT left. I sold it all for $20. Woot! I am counting it as 3 instead of the 40+ individual pieces since they took up 3 unique spots in my house.


22-23/100 I also sold 31 packages of dog treats that I got for free when couponing ... But my dog won't eat. That's another $10 in the bank and a huge drawer cleaned out!




Whew. I can't wait to do more later on in the week! I might have to make it a 200 item challenge if it keeps up like this!
