A little bit of blue

Cross my fingers - this will be the weekend for gardening up north.

The Perfect Zip Bag for a Perfect Birthday

A friend of mine is celebrating her birthday next week and I just finished the Perfect Zip Bag by Elizabeth Hartman for her. I used Lotta Jansdotter's Glimma canvas and Basic Grey purchased at
  The Workroom.

Inside the little surprise...... the nano i-pod in lime green with her favourite songs.

This is a great pattern which offers different styles to make.

Sunday morning pleasure

Forget about gardening that's how it looked driving up to the cottage.

Lots of snow flakes at the end of April and waking up by -10C/14F.

My Sunday pleasure crocheting granny squares

&

coffee.

Toronto Vintage Clothing Show

It finally stopped raining and I went for the first time to the Vintage Clothing Show here in Toronto. Ontario and Quebec dealers showed vintage fashion, jewellery, lace, linen and quilts at the Artscape Wychwood Barns . This former streetcar maintenance building is now a heritage site and offers a cultural hub for artists.

Re-living the 50's 60' 70' and on........

This embroidered blouse brought back memories, I think it still hangs in my closet in Germany. I will check it out next month on my visit.

I fell in love with that blouse-  if only the price tag didn't have the 3 in front of the twenty five it would have been mine! ( $325!!!)

thimble collections

cupie dolls

yarn in a dreamy powder blue

I left the show with a lost soul of a stuffed animal, some fabric from the 70's and a children's coat hanger.
