Crafty Creations

 My girl was asking for a hair clip in blues and greens,

so I made this Pretty Posh Posie hair clip 

for her. It looks so cute on her.

I hope to get a pic of her wearing it soon!

And, I'm working on this vintage embroidered 

Christmas ornament as a present for her too!

bye for now!

What I Wore

Corduroy jacket: thrift store

Thrifty Finds

 More scrumptious Christmas finds at the thrift!

Like that cute felt dish cover and red yarn tie, Love!

 And I snagged a cute kitchen towel!

 This record is the soundtrack to a t.v. special 

I remember watching when I was little.

For some reason they don't show it anymore

And lastly, a great 70's coloring and sticker book,

a postcard set, and a tulle wreath!

bye for now!

Kitty Wisdom

   Frequently my kitty, Smoke, shares

his words of wisdom with me.

So I thought I would share them with

you too! 

Today's wisdom:

"The hardest struggle of all is to be something different from what the average man is."

Oh, how wise Smoke is! 

bye for now!

What I Wore

 Blouse, jacket, vest and skirt: thift

Boots and tights: Target

Posh Posie Pin: made by me

Purse: vintage Mom

Crafty Creations

 My latest project is making some Christmas

presents for my daughter.

She was admiring a scarf I'd made 

for myself, 

so I made one for her in pink 

and accented it with sequins.

Then I thought I would make matching ponytail holders,

and a hairclip too!

Here is the scarf

 and the ponytail holders

 and the hairclip, 

attached to a headband.

I think they turned out pretty cute,

and I can't wait to see them on her!

bye for now!

Thrifty Finds

 The thrift store has been a goldmine of great vintage

Christmas lately!

My favorite finds are definitely the flocked ornies 

and the burlap angel!

I mean coffee pots, guitars and slippers!

What could be cuter!

 And this ball ornie is probably homemade,

but just as beautiful.

And I just love these stockings 

that look like victorian boots!

I saw some last year and talked myself 

out of them,

and now I regret it. 

Oh well!

 Happy Thrifting 

and 

bye for now!

What I Wore

This is one of my favorite outfits so far!

Vintage dress: thrift store

Tights and boots: Target

Posh Posie Necklace: made by me

Ring: a present from my daughter. 

 I used the necklace as a belt

and then accented with the pin.

Farewell to my Mom
1920-2011

When Someone you love becomes a memory

the memory becomes a treasure.

To live in hearts we leave behind
is not to die.

We may forget what you said,
but we will never forget
how you made us feel.

I will miss you terribly Mom,
but I will never forget you
all that you meant to us,
and all that you leave behind.

The Grim Reaper Loves Candy

The Grim Reaper visited us this Halloween,
and I don't mind telling you
that she was a little crabby!

Maybe even a touch peeved.

But then she went trick or treating,
and it was all good!
Nothing like a little chocolate to put a smile on your face!

Oh, and I can't forget to show the pumpkin carving
skills this year.


The results were spook-tac-u-lar!

Hope you had a wonderful Halloween!
Bye for now!
