Can you hear me now?

Sew For Broke: Vintage Embroidery Transfers

Vintage embroidery transfers, from the flickr collection of pinky and boo, via Colette Patterns’ blog. They’re enough to make me consider embroidering something just for fun. Check out the set — there are many more than this. Not sure on copyright, but I’m assuming these are good to go, at least for personal use.

The Overdue Book Calendar

Aunt June is just the cutest thing going. I did a mini post about her Flock fabric collection on True Up and I see here she’s got only the most perfect thing ever: a 2010 Overdue Book Calendar WHICH, if you know me and my weekly 10-books-at-a-time library habit, you know would be perfect for […]
