I bought a pattern for these Mary Jane shoes on Etsy for $3.99. So worth it. I have already made 3 different pairs and look forward to many more. I think it is so fun to have my daughter wearing stylish flats that I can make out of scraps of fabric.
My dream in life is to have my own craft room with cupboards full of beautiful fabric,drawers overflowing with ribbons, flowers,and buttons and a big closet where I keep all the used furniture I am planning to redo. But, with my husband just starting law school and me staying home with our little baby, our financial situation makes that dream impossible for several more years.
However, I was able to convice my frugal husband to give me $40 a month out of our tight budget to spend on "crafts." This money can be spent on on whatever I feel like creating to make my home and baby beautiful. Each month is a challenge to see how far I can stretch $40.
This blog may not have some of the cutest ideas ever, but it just might have some of the cheapest.
