Material Girl

A few weeks past, I received a head’s up regarding a garage sale that would involve much quilting fabric, weaving supplies, and some knitting things. A crafty type wife had passed, and her husband was moving her things on.

One of my thoughts, that I shared with DSis, was ‘I wonder what Wonderful Guy will do with my stuff?’

DSis replied with the thought that he better put her in charge of it. Or someone she could at least easily influence.

Anyhoo. Off I went on an early lunch, as the hours of the sale were…not friendly to those of us who work! I was really hoping it was worth the time and effort. Some people are really really proud of their stuff, but sometimes treasures are found with just a little bit of trouble.

I left the yarnage. Ho hum.


And there was an out of print quilted ornament book that I spent several months searching for a couple years ago for Not. Very. Much. But alas. I had found my copy. I might have thought the fabric to be priced better, but it wasn’t really bad. In fact, not so bad that I didn’t think I needed some.



But what I think I really scored on were some patterns for 20 cents each!


Yes, that is a bonnet pattern.  No, I am not sure what I was thinking...
Now I have quite a selection of vintage apron designs, just begging for some stitching. And since I am not sure there is quite enough of any of this fabric, while up in Estes Park, I purchased some vintage reproduction print with sewing up some vintage apronage in mind.


I use to get the itch to sew, and once started, would do nothing but sew, like crazy, for weeks. Back in the day.

Getting itchy!

Of course, my efforts are meager compared to DSis.  We are still pingponging our blogging efforts.  She's here.  And our Etsy Shoppe (Atomic Sisters) is here.

    ...to my humble effort. Thanks for taking the time to stop by, and I hope you find something mildly interesting, slightly amusing, barely creative, or at the very least, not too terribly trite.
