Finally! (& a mini-rant)

We have been having fall-like weather here for the past week. I love the cooler weather. The problem...Melodie has grown too much on me. I have next to nothing for her and the only coat was a heavy winter coat. T-shirts abound, long sleeved shirts and pants are scarce. I finally got lucky today at Used But Not Abused. I found 2 pairs of pants (both needing doctoring to fit her properly), 3 long sleeved shirts and 2 jackets (2 sizes so we are covered if she grows again soon), plus mommy couldn't not pick up the 'princess' cape and leotard since I knew she would love them. Plus a pink tee to go with the pink pants and 2 tops for harmony and I spent less than 9 dollars on everything. The only bad thing is how much for Melodie is pink, one pair of pants is pink and the other pink camo, only one shirt is rainbow striped, the rest are pink and the leotard is of course ballet pink...the jackets are purple (and she says she loves them) and the princess cape is white. I've warned daddy already...reason being, this is the child who as a baby would scream at anything pink. Now it's her favorite color after purple, who knew. Sorry for the rambling. Super happy to have some warmer clothes (crossing fingers Hanniah comes through with a couple more pairs of pants that Lizzy has outgrown) and trying not to go stir crazy (I am a bad bed rest candidate, must keep entertained and able to rescue the house from Harmony).
Why is it that when I want/need a sewing machine there are none to be found? Not one thrift store nearby has one, struck out on freecycle...and I have fabric and patterns to make pants that will fit my little monkey and fabric to make things for the baby...but no working machine. Well it's time to go stop Harmony from climbing the entertainment cabinet(again). Have a fantastic weekend!!!
Oh and check out Erin's blog for today, love her and her little one's style!
