A quick photo

Why, yes, that IS a huge moose! He was eating frozen apples off a tree.

Poinsettias!

Let's try again

Let's see if Blogger will let me put this image in now...

Why can't today's product cards be this attractive?? This was in my mother's sewing stuff. I don't know how old it is, but it's earlier than 1960, I'll bet.

Something finished

Actually finished a non-Steamcon related garment. This was a black and white rayon skirt I found at a yard sale. It was a pull on skirt, but too small for me. I took the band off, threw it in some purple dye when I mixed up way too much for the little piece of lace I wad dying, put in a zipper, and finally put the snap and hook & eye on today.

And check out the product card the snaps are on. This is something that was in my mom's stuff, no telling how old it is.
Well, for some reason Blogger is not letting me upload another image. I have no idea why. I guess I'll try putting that picture in another post... first bringing images from Picasa went away; now this?
