Homework to do but there's patterns on my desk

I so should be working on homework right this minute but I have to take some time out to share.  This weekend my local Joann Fabrics is having a Simplicity patterns sale with some AMAZING deals.  I decided to go ahead and get a few patterns I've been wanting. 

I have no clue when I will have time to make any of these lovelies but I couldn't' pass up the deal I got.  Before I can make any of those I do need to get this one made first. 

I have a beautiful fabric and trim for it.  The buttons I will have to see which ones in my large box I will end up using.

Happy sewing!

Blooper reels...of Classic Hollywood!

I was told to go watch a video on Roflrazzi this evening.  10 full minutes of some of the biggest stars from yesteryear "ruining celluloid" because they forgot their lines or in a few cases due to other issues.  S,o me being one that loves a good laugh, and knowing that those actors and actresses are just as foible as the rest of us, is poetic and I had to share.  Hopefully the original posters (owners?) won't have an issue with me linking them.

So after watching this bit, I had to see if there was any more out there...and yes there is.

I decided to do links so no one could accuse me of stealing...too much of that going around and with the whole SOPA and PIPA going on, well, I just felt it was wiser to go this route. 

Stay warm my friends and until next time, "Nuts!  What was my line again?"

Love the classics

Last night I watched 'Ziegfield Girl' with Judy Garland, Hedy Lamarr, James Stewart, Lana Turner and more.  The outfits were wonderful, the hairstyles...how fun. 

Tonight I'm watching 'On an Island with You' with Esther Williams, Ricardo Montalban, Jimmy Durante and cast.  Again the outfits, the music were just dreamy.

Addicted to Dancing with the Stars

I admit it I'm addicted.  Tonight I watched a wonderful bit.  J.R dancing with Karina to "Jump Jive and Wail"  I LOVED IT!!!  I have to agree that it was more Lindy hop but as we'll never see the Lindy on DWTS I don't care!  IT WAS A 10 FOR ME!!!  I love when they put fun bouncing numbers in (with twists of rockabilly) instead of taking slow dances and doubling the tempo. 
Anyone else out there a DWTS addict?

Busy month

This has been a very busy month.  I decided at the last minute that I am going back to school after taking 15 yrs off.  I've been very lax at posting as my interests are eclectic at best.  Reading has been taking up a lot of time.  I'm on book 5 of the Game of Throne series, A Dance with Dragons.  Each of George Martin's books is longer then the last and what an author.  If you've caught the HBO series of Game of Thrones, pick up the book, there are whole sections that they took word for word.  I'll try and post more soon, hopefully with a few hair pics (that is as soon as I get it cut again).

Take care of you and don't give up on me, I'll be back soon! 

Button, button whos got the button?

My family is having my grandparents estate auction this weekend.  I went down last weekend and helped move a loom my grandfather redid from an antique loom (that was beyond it's last leg).  It's in the sale, I kinda wish it wasn't but oh well.

Mom took me in the house and her and I went through Grandma's fabric and a few other things.  I took her box of buttons, thus this post.  I started looking at them this evening and sorting them.  I need to do some research on Bakelite buttons, I think I may have a few.  One tip I learned from her box of buttons.  Any time you are throwing something out that is worn through, cut those buttons off first.  I have a HUGE pile that I'm needing to cut the fabric off.

So far I've been sorting for over an hour, and wow.  WOW.  If your Grandparents are around, give them a hug (then offer to help clean out a closet!)

It's been a busy month

So sorry for the lack of posts lately.  I've just been going like a bee on speed.  I finally got my hair cut.  I'll have to get some pics later this week after I have time to do it for a photo shoot.  While out shopping today I found a shirt dress at JC Penny.  One problem, the women's sizes were off, I think I'm going to just sew myself one.  I think I'll be doing a wrap dress too.  Pictures will be coming, until then, stay out of the heat and love someone!
