If I was to live with only the things I truly LOVED.... I think I'd only have the Victorian style sofa and side chair which are in the darkest basement corner , my pirate head vase, Frenchy girl figurine....my white pouf Halloween wig... :D
Hello :) I made a bag with fabrics that I bought at a local yard sale. Two women wre selling stuff for and from their church sewing group. Maybe it was a Catholic church, I dunno, but the fabric I used for the outside of this bag REALLY reminds me of my old Catholic school uniform! :) I went to Catholic school from the 5th grade to 8th grade and at the time I hated uniforms, but it kinda brings back fond memories :) This bunny school girl bag is kind of inspired by all the school supplies I have been seeing around the stores :)
Oh joy, I gots me a new cam!! But where did the sun go?? I have new junk on etsy :) I couldn't post all of them because I really couldn't get shots that did them justice. Still, I have a cam!!!!!
When I was down in Grants Pass a few weeks ago I picked up this little frenchy figurine for my favorite price....free :)
Almost! Almost! Tomorrow I get my camera FINALLY. You don't know how weird it is to have to exist without a camera. An etsy seller, a flickr member!!! A wannabe blogger!! Man, these past few weeks have really tested my patience and sanity. Anyway I have some new babies to post tomorrow. Yippee!
It will be a few days before I'll finally get my camera. I am looking at my blog and it's a pretty dull blog. I want just a pretty blog :) I have been thinking of new ideas to make my blog better. I will be taking artful photos. Small details of beautiful junk. It will also help me to take notice of small things and slow down. I am usually all up in my head with ideas or stress :) Anywhoo, I buy kids books NOT only for my kids, but for me! :) I usually keep MY kids books up and away from grubby hands, hehe. Here are some pics from one of my favorite illustrators, Calef Brown.
I'm back now but I have been busy with kids doing the summer thing :) It will only be a few days before I start posting new plush. It's always hard to get back into the old routine, but I have SO MUCH new fabric, all thrifted! I hope everyone is having a great summer!
The other day we went to Indian Mary Park for a day by the river. It was beautiful. Years past we have rafted it and that is really fun. I just love the sweet smell of the waterside. I go back to Portland Tuesday and even though I will be sad to leave my family I am excited to get back to sewing!! I have ideas, man! :)
Okay, I've been lazy as can be. Today we went to The Growers Market. I know the people selling the gorgeous turnips. One summer some of us went to help at their farm for fun, this was before I could drive, Lucille the farm owner offered to let me have a try with their farm truck. I ended up in the potato field, ha. My dad's friend is Bountiful Bagel, he's an artist, too. I love their van! :) Pennington Farms jams and pies was featured in the last issue of Country Living. I will show you some shops tomorrow. Happy summer :)
