Marina and Woody

Yay!  My child brought me my (I mean her) camera back.
Here's the latest rug-'Marina'-made with mostly different shades of blues and greens and also made of mostly thrifted t-shirts.  I'm counting about 11 tees with a little light blue fabric thrown in for good measure.
 
Here is a better shot of  'Woody'.  You couldn't see him very clearly with my web cam shot. 

I wanted to show how my seeds are growing-quite nicely, I think.   FYI-tomato seeds germinate much more quickly than pepper seeds.   Since these seeds are growing at different rates-I'm using these little cups that I got from my sister for little individual 'green houses'.  I have more seeds to start, but it's a little too early yet. 

I had a dentist appointment on Wednesday-so I went to the store I love to hate-Wal*mart!

 I bought:

:: two bedspreads (Better Homes and Gardens brand, size king, $26.00 a piece) which I hope to hack up into new cushion covers.
::a gallon of Kilz Clean Start primer-an appropriate name, I thought.
::two plastics storage bins-my goodness, I couldn't resist.  I'm not even sure I will use these in the camper, though.   (These are Better Homes and Garden brand too, $7.50 a piece.)  When I got home I was wishing that I would have bought the four or five other designs they had too-but everything in moderation, Holly, everything in moderation.  :)

Happy April Fool's Day!  Check out the post where I 'fooled' a few people two years ago-here.

Okay, I think Woody is my favorite of all the named rugs so far!! Those bins are really nice.
I hate Walmart too, even though I go there every week.

I HATE Wal-Mart too but go every week. Love all of your finds. Your camper is going to be ADORABLE! Those colors are so cheerful! Marina has very pretty colors!

I go to Walmart about 2 or 3 times a year. 2 or 3 times too many! I feel bad for you girls!

I agree with Rhonda. I think that Woody is my favorite of your rugs too. I thought of you today. I was in the Goodwill and actually looked at a few sheets to buy you. They didn't have any that looked "Hollyish" so I bought myself a little purse for spring! I will have to blog about it :)
