Funky Flannel Pants

Hi All
I was trying to come up with cute but inexpensive Valentine's Day gifts for the grandchildren. I was at the fabric store and happened by the remnant bin...lots of cool stuff. I bought a pattern for pants ($2.97) and it was for children sizes 6 to 16....perfect for Keagan, Fallon and me! The pattern was super simple. As it happened the store was having a huge sale on flannel so I splurged and bought some really cute stuff for the kids. BUT I found neat fabric for me in the bin so even I have new funky pants. Now Mark wants a pair....need to get a bigger pattern!
As I was wandering the store, I found some other bargains....thread, lace, ribbons..all in bins at the end of an aisle. I was glad I spent time walking around.

Kitty Beds

I fogot to tell you about our money saving cat project. Fallon and Keagan have new cats..Frosty and Ursula and they wanted new cat beds. We all went to the pet store to visualize the bed...boy are they expensive to buy. We came up with a design after checking many types of beds. Rene had a scrap fabric box and I was able to find enough to make both beds. The only things we needed to buy were batting and stuffing. We stitched the names in the bottoms of the beds (Rene outdid me by stitching Frosty's name in cursive). The children helped and that made the beds even more special. AND it was fun!
