Adventures in Vintage Resales... fka adventures in baby-sewing

Thanks to Julia, this award. I am glad to see someone likes it! Since it has to be blogs I recently started following (I may not officially have it "followed", but have a bookmark or in my blogroll) I will pass it on to: 1. http://stitcheryfriend.blogspot.com/ 2. http://colourbynumber.blogspot.com/ 3. http://when-ladies-dressed.blogspot.com/ 4. http://angelaandersondesigns.blogspot.com/ 5. http://amandasadventuresinsewing.blogspot.com/ 6. http://catsandcalico.blogspot.com/ 7. http://thevintagehousewife.blogspot.com/ There are probably more, but this is the best I could do. The intention of this award is to pass it on to 5 or more blogs you have recently started following. You should then comment on their post to let them know they are awarded and then link to their blogs from yours.

Thanks Lory! I am grateful to anyone out there who helps me out with the sewing questions, comments, etc. I am also grateful for the kids and husband. Who knew we would have this many kids when almost 10 years ago we were told we would probably never have them? Also for the oldest son with CP. He has challenges we may never know yet he maintains a pretty positive can-do attitude. He hasn't been able to walk yet, but he adapts and well. As far as passing this on, if anyone wants to pick it up, please do so. I am kind of strapped for time right now to pick out any blogs. Besides, I think alot of you have been picked already.

I meant to do this a few days ago. Some I am listing may have been nominated by others and there are many I could nominate, but here it goes: 1. Slapdash Sewist - Trena always has a great way of looking at things, goes for the unconventional. 2. Encue Creations - Nancy does a great job explaining and demonstrating. 3. Lower your Presser Foot - Ditto for Kristy. 4. House on Hill Road - Erin has great taste for unique, eclectic quilts and other items. 5. Frogs in a Bucket - She has a little girl about my oldest's age and is great inspiration for clothes. 6. The Princess Seam - Adriana is great at that self-drafted thing and can duplicate RTW and makes it look so cool. 7. & 8. Sewing in the City and Mamie's Musings - Both are wonderful at the retro-thing and I love to see someone who has fun making and wearing them. 9. A Dress A Day - I am sure Erin has been nominated but she is the first blog I read about retro dresses, sewing, etc. on a regular basis. I read every single ...

Thanks, Lory for the nomination. I need to nominate 10, which I will do tomorrow as it is late.

Well, I am NOT a football fan, so hopefully it means I can spend some time sewing. Mike, of course, would not miss a minute. The kids will probably be on the other TV. He went to church alone as my oldest still feels bad, I am home with the bunch. Right now, I am picking up around here since my Mom & Dad will probably stop by. It has been over 2 weeks, since she had her surgery in that time. Seems they took the cancerous area out of the colon and she is fine, needing to recheck in 3 months. I think she'll be by to see the little ones. On the sewing front, for '09, I have finished one PJ pants for the baby, 1 pair of school pants for one son, about finished one for the oldest, but I think they will be capris as there is nothing left to hem. She grew alot when I wasn't looking! I have some other items laid out to cut today, so maybe me & my machines will get to work together! I also received a response from Lory (The Diary of L) & Carolyn (Diary of a Sew...
