Yarn at Walmart

I rushed to Walmart today for some yarn to correct a purchase order on my etsy shop.  I sent two customer each other's item.  and instead of waiting for the return item, I decided to go buy some yarn and just go ahead and recreate their purchase, to expedite the process.

To my luck, there were some yarn for discounted sale.  I bought a few.

 

This brand of yarn is not my usual choice, due to high price.

But this is my favorite.  Peaces & Creme makes 100% USA Grown Cotton Yarn.  

and you know, cottons feels a lot better than acrylic yarn and stronger, and less fuss.

 

 

Caron Simply Soft Yarn

is what I came to get.  They usually retail for $3.27  but I got them today for $1.50 each

what a discount.  I wish I knew.  I didn't find out 'till I got rung up at the cash register.

 

Carol Simply Soft yarn is Made in USA 

but of Imported Fibers.

 RED HEART Super Saver Yarn, is my ultimate choice.

This yarn is what I usually use on majority of my etsy items.

It's just affordable and you get plenty for your money.

 

I was only able to make One Water Bottle Carrier with the Peaces & Creme yarn. 

I have a bit of left over.  I'm about to see if I could crochet a iPhone case with the left overs.

Buttons from Walmart

One of my biggest dilemma in handmade crochet bags are time and the cost of buttons.  I buy my buttons at Walmart and sometimes I have great finds at yardsale or etsy for some beautiful vintage buttons.  It must be a shortage in buttons because I just don't understand why they cost so much.  I'm forced to purchased the cheapest buttons at Walmart to keep my price affordable for my crochet bags.

 

Buttons at Walmart. the cheapest one i could find  that are affordable and would work with my handmade crochet Nook and Kindle Covers are these buttons.  They work just find with me.  

 Got these pearl effect buttons for my new Red and White collections.

I actually like these black buttons, they have a modern feel and look to them.
