It's what I'll get right back to when I get home from work tonight. Sure would be nice if I could talk the boss into setting up a little studio in the office! : )Friday, November 6, 2009
Still a LOT to do!

Random Monday Memories ~ 1984
Here we have 7 1/2 year old Kevin (and the Cabbage Patch doll) modeling a black & white clown suit. Doesn't he looked thrilled! Nothing like the "happy little clown" in this post!
Katie graduated from "nursing school" at the ripe old age of three! Don't you love the crisply starched white uniform & hat! I think she's working on her "stern" expression in this picture! Or someone in the audience wants the lollipop she has in her right hand and she doesn't want to share!
Last, but certainly not least, we have the cute little white bunny named Mandy. She's all of 14 months, very happy, and quite anxious to walk right off the runway!! "No Daddy ~ there's no holding me back!"
All these fun costumes and they didn't cost me a cent! Just a bit of my time ~ I loved this model garment program! This was the last year the company did the Halloween fashion show, but I did get to take advantage of the program in other ways. To include the fabric chain on my Christmas tree in this post,
a teddy bear with Ultra Suede paws ~ dressed in Pendleton wool and Mandy's first day of kindergarten dress.
Looking at old photos is such fun. I love thinking back to those special moments in our lives. Speaking of thinking ~ what was I thinking?? Everyone of these cute costumes was WHITE!

It's So Nice to Make a Few Things
A baker's dozen of sparkly little mitten ornaments! I love how these turned out. I got this very cute idea from a tutorial on Dawn's blog ~ The Feathered Nest.
Here's some fabric covered boxes. I love making these ~ and there's still a bunch of paper mache boxes waiting in line to be dressed. I'm going to tie these up with some jute and hang a prim little tag on them.....or maybe I'll attach a little wooden knob to the lid of a few of them.
One of the best things about these recent creations is (with the exception of two (fat quarters) of the fabrics in the photo above) I didn't have to buy a single thing. My goal is to make a huge dent in my current stash!

The Best Seat in the House
Kids love their own little chair and with three grandbabies arriving in rapid fire succession I was afraid I'd be without a seat for each one of them.
But never fear ~ friends and a thrift store came to the rescue.
Post Script! As Joyce (Scrap for Joy) reminded me in her comment ~ there' s also the "chilliest" seat in the house.
