Disney Princess Felt -- Perfect for the Princess

This Disney Princess Felt craft kit is perfect for any Princess!

Everything you need is included to make 10 Princesses--
48 page instruction book
Die cut templates
20 sheets of felt
embroidery needle
11 colors of embroidery floss and
stuffing

You can make these princesses for your princess, or do like I am and give the kit to your own Princess to make her own.   I can't wait to see the face of my oldest granddaughter (whose name happens to be Ariel) when she opens the Disney Princess Felt kit on her birthday!

She can, of course, make Ariel, which I'm sure she will do first, but also Aurora, Belle, Cinderella, Jasmine, Merida, Mulan, Snow White, Rapunzel and Tiana.

Thunder Bay Press has several felt kits available for your crafting pleasure.

WIP Wednesday -- Braid Baby Quilt

I was going to come and write to say that the only thing that I worked on this past week was the braided baby quilt.    As I did work on it finally!  In fact, I actually am almost finished with it.  I just have one more side of the binding to hand sew down and it's done!

But......I happened to look beside me and remembered that my loom needle did come in from amazon and I had worked more on the neck warmer that I am making on the Knifty Knitter.
I actually think that I only need about 4 or 5 more times around to take it off, sew it together and that project will be done as well.  It works much much faster actually using the right tool for the job.

You may notice that I added 2 items to my 6 new for 2018 over in the sidebar ---------->>>
The penny rug isn't new as I started it last year, but it wasn't on my list of projects to work on in 2017 so I'm listing it as new anyway.  The other is a table runner made with the braid.  That one's been on my list since July when I learned how to do the braid, and I have sets of strips ready for cutting courtesy of the left, center, right game played at the guild's retreat.

In the meantime, I link up with the following blogs each week.  I hope you will check them all out!

Win $10,000 on Monday playing Swag IQ! (US & Canada Only)

On Monday, February 26th, Swagbucks is putting up over $10,000 that you can win playing fun trivia games! SwagIQ (available for iPhone and. Android) is a live, multiplayer trivia game show you play from your phone!

Each weekday, Swag IQ broadcasts a live game. Simply tune-in at the appointed time by launching the SwagIQ app and log-in with your Swagbucks account credentials. If you don't have a Swagbucks account, you can sign up for one here and then download the app!

In celebration of Swagbucks's 10th Birthday, they're going to broadcast 4 shows throughout the day and give away at least $10,000! It will likely be more since the more people who sign-up via SwagIQ prior to each game, the bigger the grand prize! 

1st Game Show: 1:00 PM Eastern Time/10:00 AM Pacific Time. Grand Prize: at least $1500. 
2nd Game Show: 4:00 PM Eastern Time/1:00 PM Pacific Time. Grand Prize: at least $2000. 
3rd Game Show: 7:00 PM Eastern Time/4:00 PM Pacific Time. Grand Prize: at least $2500 
4th Game Show: 10:00 PM Eastern Time/7:00 PM Pacific Time. Grand Prize: at least $4000 

To play SwagIQ, download the app to your iPhone and Android today. 


It's really easy to play, too: 
The game show host will ask a series of multiple-choice trivia questions. You’ll have 10 seconds to answer each one. Get it right; you get SB and move on. Answer them all correctly and you can win a grand prize! If more than one player wins, the winners split the grand prize.   

Get it wrong; still play along. Some questions have a bonus SB award attached to them. If you answer those questions correctly, you get those SB, even if you’re out of the running for the big money. And, if you’re in a groove but miss a question, you’ll have the option to rejoin a game by redeeming a few SB.  When you get to the end of the game, you can claim all of the SB that you've earned. 

You can use all the SB points you earn playing SwagIQ to get PayPal cash or gift cards to places like Amazon, Target, Starbucks, and more!

I will be there Monday, will you??  It's fun to play.  Each playing time lasts about 15 minutes.  Yesterday the game ended with 94 players splitting the big prize, each of them receiving 1,437 (worth $14.37).  I didn't make it through, but ended with 8 bonus sb for playing and having fun.

Frugal Friday With Marsha -- Where Did the Week Go?

This week sure has seemed to slip by me!

Saturday evening we had a fundraising spaghetti dinner at our church.  It was a free will offering and they also had a silent auction and buy now items.    I didn't need it, but couldn't stop myself from buying this Knifty Knitter for $1.
This is the same picture from my Wednesday post.  Since then my needle did come in that I ordered with a bit of my earned Amazon so I'm getting close to being able to take it off and finish it now.

Sunday is a blur, but we did go to the funeral home after church for the family viewing time for my hubby's aunt.
Monday was the funeral.  We had a nice visiting time with a nice lunch with his family afterwards.  A lot of his family that I had yet to meet.

Tuesday is always full with Bible study and bowling both on Tuesdays.

This week for online earnings I had:

My PerkTV account was taken care of and I was able to cash in for a total of $3 added to my PerkPlastik card.  (use code 860efbf6 for bonus points for signing up)

I sold 3 of the double towel scarves from my Etsy shop.  I still have 3 listed for sale.

I cashed in and rec'd a $5 Amazon from MyPoints.  It is very much faster to earn doing the daily 5 list each day!  I see that I can redeem for $3 Amazon for 480 points, so think I will do that from now on.

I did 2 short surveys with ShoppersVoice, each worth $1 Amazon.  Not sure where I signed up for this site.  I can't seem to log in to their actual site, I just do the surveys as they come into my email.

I rec'd $4.74 in paypal from Tweety-Fied Surf.   This is one of my most favorite traffic exchanges.  Pennies are easy to earn while you surf to earn credits for your sites to be seen, and she has so many fun games to keep you entertained while you surf too!!

I'm looking forward to doing a little coupon shopping this weekend with coupons that Dillon's sent to us in the mail.  My free coupon this time around is for a dozen eggs.  That will be a nice boost.  Others include cents off cheese and also cents off $2 or more in cheese, and even coupons for our Dr Pepper. 

Thanks to Kyla for linking up last week.  I hope more of you will jump in and link in each Friday.

WIP Wednesday -- Oops I Did It Again

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

I was in hopes of getting to finally trying to machine quilt that braided baby quilt but.......
I just couldn't help myself.  There was  Knifty Knitter rectangle at our church sale for just $1.
You guessed it, I started working with it instead.  I couldn't find my needle but have one coming in from Amazon.  I've just been making due with a yarn needle to pull over.

Last week I wrote about finishing things this week.  I did finish those double folded hotpads.  I also finished 7 of the double towel scarves.  One of those goes to my middle daughter.  The other 6 went into my Etsy shop.  Three sold right away, but there are 3 left including the one pictured here.

I completed one set of 2 of the microwave hotpads/cozies, 3 sets yet to finish up.

As always I am in hopes of getting things worked on each day this week!

Frugal Friday With Marsha -- Points, Recipes, and More

This past week my online earnings included:

A sale of 3 towel scarves from my etsy shop.  I'm making more of the towel scarves now to list and do have one of those spoken for.

$5 amazon from Microsoft Rewards.  If you've not been in there lately, it's changed.  If you do the 3 daily goals you earn bonus points.  I'm finding that doing those each day along with some searches, that I was able to cash in much faster this time!

$1 added to my Perk Plastik card from PerkTV.  Unfortunately there is some issue with my IP address and I can't access my card info, including adding more money to it, until they are done reviewing my IP address.  I sure hope they can get this resolved very soon! 

I'm so close to cash outs on several sites, so I hope my list next week is much longer  :)



**Don't forget your Friday Freebie!  I love free candy, and I've been wanting to try this candy bar.

WIP Wednesday -- More Cutting

The first that I cut were 8 inch squares to make the double folded hotpads.    My daughter wanted me to make her some, so I pulled out the long untouched fabric drawer labeled hotpads.  I'm almost done with 2 sets.  She's choosing to take the pink and yellow set.
The rest of the insulbrite and squares are here beside me to continue making more sets.

I spent most of yesterday cutting, and as usual, ended up with piles for various projects:
cuts to make tissue box covers
cuts to make pin cushion and scrapbags
strips for my string blocks
strips for the toothbrush rug I am working on
selvage strips for making a selvage rug
10 squares to be made into a quilt top for charity
quarter yards for making more towel scarves
and, a pile of scraps for filling a pillow case to make a dog bed.

This next week should be filled with completed projects!!  I hope if that's the case that everyone will be ok with me posting finished projects instead of WIP's.

In the meantime, I link up with the following blogs, so be sure to check each of them out.

Frugal Friday With Marsha -- Week in Review

Here we are to Friday again!  I've stayed busy as usual.   I'm on a mission, you know.

This past week I rec'd payment from these:

Checkpoints --  $2 in amazon   I run the videos through the checkpoints apps on one of my phones once I complete the 2 Swagbucks apps that I have on that phone.  I also put the app on my plan phone, and need to remember to check while in stores to see if there is anything to scan for points, plus do the check-ins.  You can also earn from checkpoints online as well.  (If you check it out, please use my email, marsha.seiberling@gmail.com as your bonus code)

Shopkick -- $2 amazon.   I have been checking in on the app for bonus points in the discover section daily now.  I don't go out often enough to get many walk in points or to scan items, but once winter is over, that will change.  Plus, I need to pay attention to what you can purchase to earn kicks as well. (If you aren't a member, and sign up, please use my code CARD450081 to ensure that you get 250 bonus points!)

PerkTV -- $1 to my Perk Plastik card.  This isn't going as fast as usual, but hope it picks up again soon.  I am attempting to save money to my card to be my spending money on a trip I hope to take in May.  I've had to spend some off my card twice this past week for groceries.  So many ways to earn Perk points!  (Use my code 860efbf6 and get 50 bonus points)

Swagbucks -- $25 in amazon.   I love that once a month you can get a $25 gift card for a discounted sb cost of 2200 instead of 2500 sb.  I always get amazon, then spend it to buy cat food and cat litter.


You Can Get Free Gift Cards For Shopping, Searching and Discovering What's Online at Swagbucks.com

Here is what I ordered, which will be delivered tomorrow:




Dillon's (Kroger) has a lot of good digital coupons right now.   Not sure if I will have money to shop with, but just in case, I have added every coupon to my card for anything we might buy!
Don't miss out on this week's freebie either.  This one expires on Valentine's Day instead of the usual 2 weeks later.

Free SweeTarts Candy Heart Box for Kroger & Affiliates


There is also a whole list of extra Recyclebank points to check out this week!  This will sure help me get closer to ordering more free items from One Twine!

5 Free Recyclebank Points

10 Free Recyclebank Points

Here's hoping that this next week finds you with lots of earnings and savings!

WIP Wednesday -- One Step at a Time

I started off this past week one step at a time on the microwave hotpads/cozies that I am making.
I am to the point of getting out my machine with the walking foot and finishing them off.  I fully plan to get that machine out today as I also have other projects that need the walking foot as well.

I got out my table and cutting mat and did some cutting.    I cut for making 2 towel scarves, and composition notebook covers.  I ended up also getting the blue that I had out for the string blocks into strips as well as found some pink.  I took one piece and cut it into 1 inch strips for the runner lockerhook rug that is on my list to make.  I also ended up cutting some 5 inch squares as well.

In fairness to myself, I did get 6 of the notebook covers completed, and 2 of them sold since taking this picture.

Short post this week due to us being gone for hours today already getting our taxes filed free at the Salvation Army.

I do link up with the following blogs:
