and I just gave him his anniversary present!

I'm awake at 7am on my day off because Rob rolled over leading with his elbow, directly into my nose. OW! Kinda shocked me into full awakeness, of course now he's sound asleep again. Maybe I'll wake him up and make him go to church with me at 9 since I'm awake. Cause I'm hungry too...

proving just cause it's old doesn't make it in good taste...

So Amy asked me to pick up some discontinued simplicity patterns for her (little known fact there was a period before the current management worked at my Joanns where discontinued patterns were not pulled, so if it's been discontinued more than 5 years you can often find it still in the pattern cabinet, just look up the number yourself as it won't be in the pattern books) Anyway she asked me to pick up 4244. I grabbed one for myself too thinking maybe someday I'd use it as a heavily modified base for a bodice or something. I mean for a dollar why not? Now I've always thought this was some weirdo's version of a bustle and they put weird side poofs on for no reason. But as I'm sitting here looking at it I realize it says "victorian bridal museum" on the cover, so I google. Lo and behold those weird side poofs are on this original!!! I'll be damned. But period or not how unflattering! of course the original isn't as bad...but still...go figure

anyone need lace?

so who's a posting whore today?....oh that would be me ;-)

The funny thing about sewing is when people find out you sew they give you all the old family sewing supplies that no one knows how to use anymore. So Rob's friend Mike's sister has bequethed to me two medium sized rubbermaid tubs full of lace. It's mostly white and ecru, lots of lovely vintage stuff. I don't have the storage for two tubs! So I'm going to go through it tonight and pull out what I can't live without, but does anyone want to look through for anything they need before I donate it? There's some lovely stuff in there, I just don' thave storage. Maybe I'll take pictures of nice ones and post them here, just pay the shipping. We'll see what's really in there as I start a "deep sort" so to speak. Just wanted to guage if there was any interest...
