Out with the old...Vintage Cowboy Curtains



I'm sad my seven year old doesn't want his cowboy room anymore but I'm happy he growing up to be such a fine young man. Does anyone had nay Super Mario curtains and bedspread??

Vintage 50s Butterick 6015 Original Walk Away WRAP Dress


Just listed in my store: http://www.sandritocat.etsy.com
The Original Walk Away Dress Butterick 6015
Butterick 6015
copyright 1952
Size: 14
Bust: 32"
Waist: 26½"
Hips: 35"

This is the original 'walk-away' dress pattern, not a reproduction. Butterick released this in 1952 and it ended up being the best selling pattern ever. At one point they even shut down production of all their other patterns to fill the demand for #6015. It was called walk-away because one could start it after breakfast and walk-away in it for luncheon.

Quick & Easy One Piece Wrap Dress. Here's the smartest idea of the season . . . a dress that has only back waist and shoulder seams, that has its back wrapped around to the front for a sheath-and-overskirt look. Binding finishes the edges. Wear it for any occasion. Made from just 3 pattern pieces, no facings!

Fabrics - crepe, taffeta, faille, satin, velveteen, shantung, gingham, chambray, cotton prints, linen, pique, cotton broadcloth.

New dog

My husband, who is a sheriffs deputy, had arrested a guy who was involved in a crash and the guy kept talking about his dog in the truck and no one could find it. Finally, the dog was found and apparently had to be taken to the city shelter, since the man was going to jail. He was eventually placed for adoption but no one adopted him and another officer had his name put down to contact before euthanasia would be preformed. My husband called and asked if we could take it because it was fixing to be put to sleep, so being the softy I am, said yes. My six year old loves him. Named him Cosmo. He is a miniature cocker spaniel. We have another dog ( a wennie dog) and so far so good.
Isn't he cute! How could no one have wanted him.

Super MArio Bead Art!

My 6 year old is MASTER of Wii Mario Galaxy and is in absolute love with anything Mario and wants his room decorated with Mario. You know it's hard to find things to decorate with Mario! We purchased some of those fusing beads that you can decorate with and then iron them together and we made these Mario characters. They turned out SO CUTE! I told him if he wanted to sell them on Etsy we could put them on there and he said NO! These are going in my room...but if anyone wants to make a custom order, I plan on putting them on Etsy. Here they are:
