Peeka..


BOO!

This is a little rabbit created from thrifted fur & vintage fabric body. No pattern, I was just in the mood to make a softie & Em claimed it straight away. I liked how it turned out - just a few tweaks needed, but I cut out 2 more last night so I will see if I get it perfected with them.

Beaming....

Because I finally got myself a SUNBEAM Mix Master. A vintage one mind you not a new one, but I think that is almost better! And the best bit is that it only set me back... wait for it....$5. And it works. And it has the large & small bowl still. I hadn't given it a clean up so I will hopefully have it sparkling & back to its former glory in no time!

Vintage Sheet Quilt Top...


Finally I have made at least the quilt top with some of my vintage sheet stash. it is a simple 8" sqaure style with randomly placed pieces, but I am happy still with the way it has turned out. Now to get my act into gear & finsih it off - this is the bit I am hopeless at. I will no doubt back it with a vintage sheet. So hopefully I will get it done by christmas.

Pyrex....

Well although it is obvious I LOVE my vintage fabric, I also have a secret love of vintage pyrex & my stash of that is almost as big as my fabric one - well not really, but it is decent. The difference is though that I use my pyrex ALL the time - I love it. Here are 2 I picked up the other day to add to my collection. The rectangular one was perfect for a yummy potato bake which I made the night I got it. I must get pictures of the rest of my collection. Are there any other vintage pyrex lovers out there?????

Another thrifty find...

I really did not have any need for bookends, but when I saw these beautiful deer ones at only $3 for the pair how could I resist??? I am sure I can find some books which need proping up somewhere...
