Vintage Thisngie Thursdays....




I have three fun videos for you from the Bozo show that was produced here in Chicago. When I was a child there was no VCR, if you missed a show, you missed it! We would wait and watch all the Christmas season for these to come on, I loved these so much and hope you enjoy them as much as I did and still do.

PS Before you play them pause my music!

I just can't help myself.....

OK, I admit it!! I just can not seem to stop buying Japanese fabric. I found this great shop on Etsy called Sweetflavor. I am sorry , I just had to have these and.....there may be a few more on the way. Here is what came Saturday.

Bambi




My youngest daughter collects nesting dolls.




Cute little row of houses.




This green is beautiful, but I am afraid I did not capture all it's beauty.




And then this sweet little one.


Someday I will use them for something!!
Happy Day!

Finished....

I know, I know, As much as I do not want to believe it, I know it is fall! I have finished UFO #3 for Finn’s New Years Challenge. This is my SUMMER table-topper. See how I placed it next to my last red geranium. I made this topper from one of my fat quarter’s sets. If you like this fabric, take a peek at my store, I have the fat quarter sets, and yardage listed. One UFO to go to finish my challenge!!

Look!!!!!

Look!!
Yes, I do have an on-line fabric shop! Yes, I have hundreds of bolts of fabric! You would think that would stop me from buying more! Alas, it does not!!!
Lookie, Lookie, what came!! Thanks to Nanette for steering me to reprodepot.com, I got some Japanese fabric!! I order ½ yard of each of these and have no idea what I am going to do with them! Wait, I know, show you pictures and after that I am going to look at it, touch it, smooth it, re-fold it and love it!!
Now these prints are not the cotton we are use to, they are more of a woven decorator cotton.



These are what I would call quilters cotton.







Love the wording on the print….

One day a good friend brother and animals lived very much.

The depths of a forest found a house of cake deeply what!

Two people ate a cake of the full. I spent very happy time.

I know I will spend a very happy time with this fabric too!!

Are You Kidding!!!!!


Oh my gosh, how cute is this candy!! This is what my sister is giving out for Halloween. She also has, Clue, Operation, and others. I got Sorry because it is by far my favorite board game. Look the candy is little playing pieces; how fun! This candy will never touch my lips! I am going to display it on my pink shelf in my office. Someday I need to show you my pink shelf of fun.

What is Next????

Boy, I just can’t seem to get into the swing of things this week. I know this will, shock, offend, alarm, insult and upset some of you BUT, I do not like fall! I long for my hot, humid, leave the windows open, have the kids home, carefree days of Summer. Yes, I admit it, I love, love, Summer. So this week, it is getting colder, the darkness is getting longer, the windows now need to be shut, I have had to PUT ON THE HEAT!! I have put away my shorts, pulled out my jeans, and even wear a coat! What’s next? Winter!!!!!

Have a super Day!!
