"STUFF I JUST MADE "

blacktanbonnet

This  is a new bonnet I just made this week.

It is made from  a dark brown calico homespun fabric.

It is sitting on a "bonnet stand" and is lighted by a little pineapple   electric candle. .

♥ I love it. ♥

Next you'll see   a very prim doll  just made this week, too.

lulabelle (2)

   Her name is " Lulabelle"

and she's been grunged and sanded

and  rubbed lightly with

a light Briwax.

See the little "Clarks ONT

100 percent cotton  Thread"

tin.. ( a gift from my Granddaughter and Great-granddaughter )

They know I love anything old and to do with sewing..

Lulabelle's dress  is made from

black/tan  homespun checks.

So you can see I've been chained

to the sewing machine this week..

Gonna  hit it again tomorrow , too !!

Do you know what "frustration" is !!!

Well, I do.... so just ask me..

It's when your " little  grey-cells" are straining themselves to try to

"read and  do"

PHOTOSHOP 7 ELEMENTS

Well, I ain't never been so frustrated,

I mean downright  stymied..

that's a new word I just wanted to throw in at ya'

in my  definition...

it means 

"RATS !!  RATS !!  RATS !!

( my favorite word for

"if at first you don't succeed,

kick the dang thang and go have a

pepsi.

so long fer t'night....

I Juliana and I read your blog this morning and were laughing! I thought we were sitting in the living room with you in your sewing/computer room saying RATS, RATS, RATS! Then a few minutes later you show up pouting and saying I'm gonna have a Pepsi! Wish we were there with you. Love you so much and glad you are back at the sewing machine!!!
