New Finds!!

Finally! I found some Pyrex!! 

I went to DI today looking for a tshirt and found this beauty...

A 2.5qt bowl! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this pattern. I was so excited I just had to snatch it up.

There was also this little dish. I thought it was a solid white until I went to wash it and discovered it used to be yellow. :( Why do all the good colors have to be ruined? Oh well, it's still pretty and I will use it for sure.

Bowtie Quilt

Last night I remembered that I had a baby shower to go to on Friday. I didn't feel like hauling 4 kids to the store to find a gift, so I figured I'd throw together a simple quilt this morning. 

It took me about 5 hours start to finish. I'm sure I could have gotten it done a little faster than that, but I had to take care of the kiddos while I made it. 

The idea from this quilt came from here. She has some really good quilts.

I ended up using some left over batting that I had and I am LOVING the feel of this blanket. It has a good weight to it, but it's still soft. I wouldn't mind a queen size quilt like this one.

Pyrex and quilting...

Since I haven't found much Pyrex lately I thought I'd post a pic of Pyrex I already had. 

It's been holding all the squares I've been quilting. 

I'm thinking I'll turn it into a queen size quilt. 

So, until more Pyrex shows up, I'll probably end up posting a lot of the sewing projects I've been doing.

The blues...

I'm switching out my winter blues for my greens and yellows for St. Patty's Day. :)

Pyrex right now is REALLY few and far between. :( I've been looking all over for some red Pyrex, but I've found nothing. There's been a few bowls that USED to be red... I hate finding those. Maybe when everyone starts spring cleaning I'll find some better finds.

Long time coming...

 It's been a while since I went out to find Pyrex, so today we went for a little hunt. We went to the local Value Village and found this set of Old Orchard Cinderella bowls. I wasn't quite sure if I really wanted to get them, but they were mint, so I snatched them up. Maybe I'll sell them on eBay or something.

 This little green casserole. It was too cute to pass up.

 This one wasn't the prettiest green, but it was mint and they were only asking $1 for it. Maybe I can store some of my sewing supplies in it.

 There they are! Not bad for only hitting up 2 stores. I really REALLY really wish I could find some red Pyrex though. Why does that have to be so hard to find?!

These two bowls I found at DI. I'm LOVING the yellow. I think it's my new favorite bowl. It had a bunch of white spots all over it and I thought it was chipped paint, until I looked at it in the light. I was able to get all the white specks off! Yay!

Pretty Pyrex. :)

I've been slacking on the blog, but I still love Pyrex. I've been collecting still and I've had a couple friends give me some GREAT pieces. Today We thought it'd be nice to eat some oranges. Orange and blue... LOVE it!!

My broken find....

My first Pyrex tragedy.... :( I had my wonderful butter dish on the top of my shelves while I was cleaning up the dining room the other day and while I was scooting a chair in, the vibrations of the chair rumbled the cabinet and the poor thing fell to the floor and shattered into a million little pieces. I was sad, but the good thing about it is the lid is still intact, so I just need to find a new base. Still, it's hard to see something to useful broken.
