I almost wanted to keep all these, but I decided I have too many patterns and I'm sure there is someone out there looking just for these patterns. Some have already sold, but these beauties remain!
You can find them all in my store: Sandritocat's Vintage Pattern Shop

Children Fashion Designer: Helen Lee













I love the designs of the famous children's fashion designer, Helen Lee. The patterns she illustrated for were from the McCall's line and are usually cute, frilly, twirly dresses. I can always spot a Helen Lee pattern and will never leave one behind. She was the first children's designer to win the Coty American Fashion Critics Award, for her designs, in 1953. Here are a few of my photos. Four of them remain in my shop, which is surprising, they usually fly out the door, as soon as listed.

Bad Business!

I ordered a lovely necklace from a featured "power" seller off Etsy for Christmas for my sister. Imagine my horror when my sister told me it fell apart in her hands. I decided to vent my frustrations on Christmas to this seller, never expecting her to write me back on Christmas, but when I see she when was listing the two next days and still hadn't contacted me, I write her again, wondering why? She gets TOTALLY BENT out of shape with me, the CUSTOMER! Basically calls my sister a lair (like she broke it on purpose) and when I decide not to deal with her and file a complaint with Paypal, she comes back almost immediately threatening to file fraud on me. She's obviously done this before! Needless to say, my sister is trying to fix it and if she can't, I asked her to send to me and I'd try. I've heard these stories before, just never thought it would happen to me................................

Little Leage Football

I realized I haven't written in a long time and that needs to change. I've been busy with my 8 yr old being in football. Had I realized it was this time consuming, I might have decided against it. This all started in August, he went to Football camp and liked it and decided to play. At first, they practiced everyday. EVERY day! Then when school started (after a whole week) they cut back and took a day off. My son literally hates football now. He says the coaches holler and are mean and he's gotten sick twice from playing in the rain (I think it was just coincidence but he's already told me, if it rains again ~ I'm not going!) The parents are SUPER competitive. They hoot and holler and several have had words with the coaches. I heard one Dad just a cussing one day at the game. I'm sorry, but I don't think we will play again next year if it's this crazy his FIRST year!
He took pictures last week and we haven't gotten them back, but I took this one and played around with it.



Now here is some funny stuff. He has this sketch book he sort of draws like his Diary of a wimpy kid books and here is one of his drawings....
