So Many Things to Post.... So Little Time

It has been a busy week, I finally have time to sit and post some photos. This first pic is of a dish cloth I knitted and an ornament I made out of a vintage cookie cutter. These items were for a handmade swap. Hope she likes them.I finished this garland last night, yes it is pink, but I added the pink vintage ornaments to make it a little more Christmasy. The Pic is not that great.

I made this cute little kitty a few nights ago for a swap, I love her and hope my swap partner does too.

I am doing a craft fair next weekend at my sisters work in Sebastopol, should be fun. I have been making some fun Jewelry. This pic is of some of the cute pendants I have made. Two of them are vintage scrabble tiles and the others are vintage keys with vintage type writer keys attached to them. I made myself one and get compliments everytime I wear it.
I took a quilting class on Wed. it was an all day class, which was great because I never get that much time to sew with out interruptions unless I sew at midnight. It was me and three grandmas they were all really nice, however I did have to help two of them with their machines. I didn't really learn anything new, but I had fun. The first photo is a close up of part of my quilt top and the second is the whole top, it is not finished. I still have to add the eyes to all the dogs and applique around each dog, then it will be time to put it together, I am going to back it with a white vintage chenille quilt, and tie it with black yarn. It is called a Kwillow, so it has a pillow shape on the back and the whole thing folds up into the pillow. I am making this for Graham, but Miss Gabby wants it really bad. So, I either give her this one and not have it go with her room at all, or I have to make the whole thing again in girly colors. Basically I am going to have to make three, because once I make one for Gabby, Gwen will want one too.

Last weekend I hit the jackpot at an Estate Sale, I spent $20 and got a TON of great stuff. This wall pocket is vintage pottery and is so cute, I had to take it down so I could hang Christmas decorations up. I think it was $2.00.

These pics are out of order, this is a swap I sent out for Colorific Swap, the them was pink, red and white. I embellished the towel.

The quilt in this photo was on the wall at the quilt shop and I bought the pattern because I love it, now I am on the hunt for the great fabrics used to make it. I cant wait to make it!!!!

Swap received for the black and white swap. I Love the vintage buttons and hankie. The earrings are super cute too.

Yesterday I didn't feel like going out in the am so I sent my cute hubby out. Yep, he is great and he went and he found some great deals. I know I am lucky, because most husbands would not even go much less know what to buy. He did a FAB job. He got this awesome green Vintage Chenille Comforter, it is in pristine shape, no holes, stains, no missing chenille or fringe, but the best part is he only spent 1$ on it. YIPPEEEEEEE If I was to buy this on eBay, at and antique store or at a flea market it would have cost me 40-50$.Yes, I am keeping it, it is too great to sell. He also got all the vintage ornaments you see for 1$ and the necklaces on the little thing for 1$, which I will use in my jewelry making.

Back to last weekends finds, this darling girl figurine(on top) was 1$, she is so pretty. I snatched her up and stuck her in my pile, thinking she might cost 5$. So I was very excited to pay $1.00.

I got these vintage coloring books for $1.00 each, not sure what I am doing with them?

This hat box was $1.00 also, and it is currently at my booth holding blocks, however it is not for sale as I LOVE IT. It is paten leather and in excellent shape, which you can not tell from the photo because it was not cleaned yet.

Every Christmas the girls perform with their dance studio at the retirement homes, my cute little Gwen was doing her Pink Panther Baton routine last weekend.

I also got the tall urn in the back for $1.00 it has a small chip but once again it can face the back.

This is the scarf I made for myself and I LOVE it, I might change out the button with a sparkly vintage one. I took this photo with the one arm technique.

Swap I sent for the Holiday Helper Swap on Domestic Bliss.

Swap sent for Lucky Parcels Stripes swap, stripes was a hard one for me!

This was my FAVORITE find last weekend, I have always wanted one of these, and it is AQUA. IT WAS $2.00. They sell for $30.00+ 0n eBay. It was missing 2 screws and my handy dandy Hubby fixed it right up and now it resides in my dining room close to the kitchen, wish it could go in the kitchen, but to my dismay I have to worlds smallest kitchen.:(

This whole box of vintage Christmas stuff was 5$, some of it I kept and some of it is going to my booth.
