hope everyone had a fabulous christmas.....
.....i did
but now....i just want to clean it all up
it hits me this time of year way more than spring cleaning does
i look around and i'm ready to clean up all the christmas
and get rid of everything else
(don't worry...i leave the christmas up till new year's for the kids!)
yesterday i cleaned up boxes & gift bags & receipts &....a million other things
today....i should attack my jewelry making stash.....

nutuure

i have long been enormored with anything made from vintage patterns

i love them because they bring up such strong memories of my grandmother

..........i always associate sewing with her

and of my mom making our clothes

.....and because i love the packaging,

and the sketches

and the thin, thin pattern pieces

with all the markings

....i have a huge stack of patterns just waiting for something to be done to them
