Fashion Noted

I have a "cyber friend" and her name is Lisa. Lisa was Amie's classmate at FIDM. Together they traveled on the Spring 2007 Europe trip thru FIDM. Lisa now lives in SLC and has a great blog called Fashion Noted. She had 5 minutes of fame when she appeared on the Ellen Show. Her friends gave her tickets as a birthday present & while at the show she was a random pick to appear on the show.

I have Fashion Noted in my Blog List, make sure you check it out on a regular basis. She will have fame with her fashion writing and you can say you heard about her here first.

Someday I hope to meet Lisa in person!

The best night out.

Yes, that is a Cowboy shirt & he is our friend anyway.

They are in the middle of a basement renovation. All the Stine's & bottles are going away & will be replaced with sports memorabilia. They have been collecting old baseball gloves, skis, skates, etc. Maybe when they are finished they'll let me come over & take pictures to show you everything they have on display.The reason we were asked over was to visit, as she says, MY STALKER. My friend Kay was in town with her daughter, she attended preschool with Eric.

They a cute mother & daughter.

Now when Kay leaves GEL-Oh a comment you can put a face with the name. It was so nice seeing both mother & daughter. The best nights out are always at the home of friends. Oh, Kay is the sister-in-law of the Cowboy fan.

Country Home

I knew this was coming and I don't like it one bit. I have a huge magazine obsession. I haven't counted recently but, I have about 10 magazine subscriptions. The favorite of all my subscriptions WAS Country Home. O at Home, Domino & Mary Emmerling are also ceasing publication. Guess my subscriptions will be down to a single digit.

They think there is "good news"??? I just want my County Home.

: (

This darn economy anyway.

Tip Thursday

Did you know?If you use liquid fabric softener when washing bath towels or dryer sheets when drying your newly cleaned bath towels, the drying ability will not be as good since the products leave a film onto the towels.

Grandma & a few small buttons

Over the long weekend I was able to find some time to craft. I had the frame, it was a birthday gift from Mau several years ago. I have had a "thing" for old buttons for awhile now and got the idea to do something with buttons from Scrapbooking Life's Little Moments.

The photo is of my Maternal Grandmother. She was a phenomenal crafter, seamstress, knitter, crocheter, drawer, you name she could make it. She was also a wonderful cook! I like to think that my measly crafting ability came from her. The gene skipped a generation because my Mom has none. Thankfully, Amie has the crafting gene and she gets to craft for a living!The button card belonged to her & the labels I tore off spools of thread that were also hers.

This button card was also hers, and my favorite of the two. The measuring tape & even the safety pin belonged to her.
Guess what? These three buttons were hers. I bet you already figured that out. But, the lace belonged to my Paternal Grandmother. While making this project I found of bunch of sewing items that belonged to my Paternal Grandmother. I think I need to make another collage. I actually had some tears while making this project thinking about all the wonderful memories I had of my grandmother.
I'm going to hang this in our half bath off the family room. I feel funny having a "legacy" type item in a bathroom but it will look good in there. As soon as Mick is finished with installing the new molding it will get hung.
