Thrifty Christmas

It's been awhile since I posted a Thrifty Christmas post, so here are some of the things I've been working on lately:

M likes to pretend to cook with me. And she likes that I wear an apron and reaaaaaally wanted one of her own, so voila! I had some fabric leftover, so I made her a matching oven mitt and I made her the adjustable chef's hat just for fun. Total cost: $6 in supplies

She likes to pretend she's a doctor. I like to encourage this because if she's a doctor when she grows up, she can afford to put me in a better home when I'm senile. So I made her some scrubs for her doctor pretend time. Total cost: $4.00 supplies

I don't know if I've posted her diaper bag on here before or not, but here it is. See, she likes to carry a diaper bag when she carries her dolls. We only have one diaper bag, the gigantic one I carried when she was a newborn. It's almost as big as her and she has a hard time lugging it around. I made this one without a pattern and it turned out great! There are lots of pockets on the inside and outside for all the junk her babies need. Total cost: $0 (no pattern, fabric scraps)

She also loves to use wipes when she pretends to change her babies, but I hate giving them to her because they're expensive. So I made this little holder and filled it with white felt squares for her to use as baby wipes. That way we're not just throwing money away, which is what Thrifty Christmas is all about!

Last, I crocheted this ninja for hubs. Only he found it because he's a Sneaky Pete. So it's sitting on his desk at work right now. Total cost: 75 cents, clearance yarn.
