Just don't use linseed oil! According to Leigh and Leslie Keno, you should never put linseed oil on furniture. They said that the best thing to use is a soft beeswax polish.
Can everyone's pets come and live at my house?
I realized that I have posted pictures of the ever lovely and vivacious Miss Mollyanna Pussypants (a.k.a Molly), but I haven't posted any pictures of the lil' squirt, Gertrude McGillicuddy (a.k.a. Gertie). Here she is doing her best imitation of...
I tend to save a lot of women's books on sewing and knitting. the oldest in this collection is the green book. It is from the 1920s and has lovely little deco illustrations inside of it.
Some of my knitting books:
Do magazines count? Here are some fun ones:
I wish I could show...
lol My cat Molly will only drink water from her special cup on the nightstand next to my bed. In order to keep her from drinking out my glass of water, I had to give Molly her own glass. Now she won't drink from anything or anywhere else.
My moms cat, Slick, plays fetch with straws. And they can only be blue straws or he won't have anything to do with them. Which amazes me because I thought cats were color blind.
My cats have a paper fetish as well. They love to sit on top of it, no matter what the size. If there is a...
I have a weakness for the pulps.
A shot of my bookshelf:
A shot of some of the more interesting covers and authors:
You can see 2 Earl Stanley Gardners, 1 Rex Stout and a Mickey Spillane. I have some more Spillane's but this one has the best cover by far.
The titles crack me up...
Leatte - You should go down to the Strip District and take a picture of yourself sitting at the soda fountain at Klavon's.

And then you should eat an ice cream soda!
Thanks! I found the fabric when we were cleaning out my grandma's house. It was a remnant just big enough to make a small set of cafe curtains for my bathroom. The cool thing is, my grandma had made drapes for her house of the same fabric (this was the leftover piece that I found) and I have...
A while back, someone asked me to post a picture of the wave clip that I used to finger wave my hair in this picture.
The clip has three rows of teeth. the middle row of teeth is spring loaded and the teeth go in the opposite direction of the outer teeth.
Here is the clip closed...
For inspiration, here's a picture of the teens toque that I have. (Excuse my messy unpainted living room in the background!) I had to lighten the picture a bit to show the hat's detail.
*drool* Gorgeous hat pictures. Now I have to post a picture of the toque I have.
Butterick 4826 is a repro pattern for Edwardian blouses. I think any of those blouses would look especially pretty under the suit as well.
I think a square-necked shell underneath would look best. When you look at pics of teens suits, the shirt's neckline underneath is almost always straight across. I think the suit would look smashing with a toque for a hat as well. I have an Edwardian toque at home that I'll take a picture of...
Just looking at pictures of your maw gives me warm fuzzies inside. You can just see the warmth in her face. I bet she could bake the best cookies ever.
lol lol lol Nyx, thanks to you I can't get the thought of a pink pleather thong onesie out of my head!! lol lol
Can I come to your Halloween party? ;) That is the greatest idea ever. Personally, I'd want to dress up like Anne. Btw - husband's favorite character is Ray McKooney. He likes...
Someone on craftster made a very similar pillow and I immediately thought of it when I saw Tilla.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss. A friends' parrot would do a perfect imitation of the telephone ringing and laugh at you when you picked up the phone. The intellect of these little creatures is amazing and makes for very strong bonds that go beyond simple pet ownership. My thoughts are with you.
