ALL ABOUT SEWING

I am so excited! The book I ordered came today!
This book was published in 1949 and is just full of wonderful lessons and ideas.

When I was a little girl my mother made me a pinafore and so many other wonderful outfits. It seemed to me that she was always at her sewing machine making me a new outfit and a dress for my little sister. One year we had matching dresses for Easter.

My granddaughter Mandy was given a copy from a friend who found it in a thrift shop. She sews and was so pleased. When I saw it I knew I had to find one too. Where in the world would I find one? I did, on Amazon! I'm so excited. If you love to sew, you will just love this book. Page after page of wonderful illustrations and photographs of the time, even a lesson on making slip covers and draperies!!Talk about vintage!!

I'm back home after teaching a workshop and next week I start sewing!

BIRDS

Thursday I went to the book store to find a book on bird feeders. The squirrels completely demolished the one I had. A crash and bird seed everywhere. The little juncos were first to pounce on the seed. I was upset to say the least but knew I wanted something special to stop the marauding of the bird feeders!
This a great book! Not only does it have the feeder suggestions but all about habitat's and different bird species in California! Perfect!
I whipped up a makeshift feeder until I can get the one I want and this morning after the rain I was host to robins,juncos,chickadees and jays. I also have the delightful gold finch coming but that is a separate feeder.
All is right with the world again!!
