Pink Saturday

A bucketful of pink for the day! For Gabe's 2nd Bday party the theme was camouflage so my d-i-l asked me to applique initials on the blankets she bought for favors. The girls had pink, of course. I did 17 for them and 10 for the boys.  The kids all loved them and it was a great favor for the parents too, no candy or little toys to worry about. She bought the blankets for under 5 dollars!

     

Hope y'all all have a wonderful day-we're having nasty weather here today but the Saints are playing so we're all anticipating a great game! Please have fun visiting more pink sites with Beverly! My post visit recommendation is "She's sew pretty". She's got some wonderful pillows this week and some ladderback chairs to show off!

Movie sets and loving my repaired Bernina

They filmed a small movie in town last week and I took a few pictures of the set before they started. It's being done by a local couple who have done quite a few films, historical fiction and non-fiction. This one is about WWII soldiers who married French girls and brought them home after the war. They set up this store front to recreate the 1940's.

Isn't it neat??

Don't you wish the prices were the same today??

I did go watch a little while when I walked my dog but didn't bring the camera. Loved the old cars and clothes!!

On another note, sewing happily with my repaired machine. I had sent it off for a few(long) weeks and really missed though my d-i-l lent me her Brother. I've been having fun with the fancy stitches that I couldn't use for so long. Check it out..............

Little flower stitch.

Zig-zag for the applique and a buttonhole stitch around the yoke.

Making me soooooooo  happy!!!
