You sound alot like me JOJA...I only buy things when on special and all his bunny rugs were hand made apart from a few good ones. If you can crocher (sp?) you can go around the edges and make them look fanastic!!!

If you want to make a cheap mobile. Get some old cd's you dont want. Put them in the microwave for a few seconds and they crackle. get some fishing wire and some coat hangers and makes a cool mobile.
