Now is the time to pick up pull-over sweaters on sale at bargain prices. I wondered if I could re-style a pull-over into a cardigan because even though it is about to heat up in sunny AZ it is also about to be the season when it is freezing in movie theaters, restaurants, and everywhere indoors. This grey pull over sweater was a steal at Target for only four bucks!

It’s super bowl eve do you know what you’re bringing to the party? Why not be the hero and take something to make the vegetarian friends happy and no one needs to tell the meat eaters that those are veggie crumbles and not beef or turkey.
Make this chili the day before and if you don’t take it to a super bowl party you’ll have the large pot full all week long for left-overs.

Found at a recent clothing swap held at Blueberry Deluxe Boutique in the Melrose District: 1 Marimekko Dress.
Dilemma: Short girls (i.e. The Thrifty Maker) can’t wear full body floral prints.
Solution: Restyle it! Marimekko dress meet scissors because your are about to have a makeover. This Marimekko dress retails for more than $100 and a Marimekko bag alone is about $89. (Check out Finn Style for proof.) Cost for this skirt and bag (free), around ¢25 for thread, ¢30 for binding tape and ¢60 for a silk ribbon. Total cost: $1.15.
