She will be missed. What a stunning, forever young beauty she was!
It always fascinates me that she wasn't discovered until she was 27 and much of her work done when she was in her 30's. So different form the models of today.

If you search crochet you will also find a knitting and crochet faq thread.
That is one of my VERY favorites. The more you watch it, the more you see in it.
As for me, we watched Hell Boy 2 the other night. I love the first one but this one was even better. Great story line!
My spectators arrived the other day. Man are they ever comfy! They have the same heel as the wedges which I adore.
Thanks again for posting them. Now I just need to make a pair of brown wide leg trousers.
Mrs Merl:
It really turned out better than I thought. One tip : buy the cheapest most light weight duct tape you can get. DH bought Walmart brand recently and I hated it but it was perfect for this. Do one layer on you and then add two more after you stuff it. I only have 1 1/2 layers on it...
I finally gave up on trying to buy a $130 dress form and coerced DH into helping me make the duct tape dress form. I need to add more layers of tape but I am quite pleased how well it turned out. Plus her measurements match me perfectly!:D
Oh wow! I don t know if I should thank you or be mad at you for posting these! ;)
I just snagged the last pr of size 8s in the brown and white. I really did need a pair of shoes like these. What a steal! Thanks!
Those are great! My Uncle saved all his toy cars from when he was a kid in 50's. He has lots that look like that. I remember looking at them when I was little. He even had the little toy bill board signs. I loved those!
Marzipan, your sweater looks great!
Have you looked through the Sewing Lesson's and FAQ thread here in the Powder Room? It is chock full of great info on sewing and machines.
