Pair of Cardinals in the Snow

Is there anything lovelier than a pair of cardinals on a snowy fence? I think not. Enjoy the rest of the long weekend before starting the new decade.

Sewing Machine Power

I love this quote. "Never Underestimate the Power of a Woman with a Sewing Machine." Image from Crust Party ~ She sews with a red hot needle.

Kitten Mittens ~ Do Want !

I would wear these proudly if you'd knit me a pair. These kitten mittens would surely warm the hearts as well as the hands of their lucky owners every time they were pulled on. If I ever find the pattern I'll post it along with my hand measurements. :-)

UPDATE: Nancy (one of my blog readers) found the pattern.
Here's the link. Thanks so much Nancy!

Baby New Year circa 1937

Vintage magazine cover from The Saturday Evening Post via Mark P. Baby New Year is so much more uplifting that Father Time, right? We are all brand new today.

Wow !! I just looked at the date of this post and it's 1/1/11. What do the numerologists have to say about that? I think I'll schedule it to go live at 11:11 am. Might as well go all the way with the numeral 1.

I think this is a sign that 2011 is going to be ONEderful !!

A Prosperous New Year

Times change but the sentiments don't. I'm always drawn to the beautiful fancy penmanship from years gone by. I'd love to see this 1904 County Clerk's ledger, wouldn't you?
