Yesterday was a rainy day. I was reminded of the dr. Seuss book "the Cat in the Hat' when our mother went out of the house for the day..... Well if you read the book you know the kids got bored, let in a cat and the rest is history. Well I wasn't out of the house for the day but it was raining and I was looking for something fun for Nevada and her friend. A couple weeks ago I had picked up this free craft booklet at a garage sale. I love old magazines and books and the cover on this one I absolutely loved. Well yesterday we decided to give a go at making the choker on the front cover. the pattern was way harder then anything I had done in the 70's I think that is. Parts of that history are a blur if you know what I mean. Well the end results I though were pretty good.
On an earlier note, earlier in the day that is...I went for my yearly mamogram. Just inserting that so everyone remembers to have their's done. It's not something to just ignore....
chow baby's
I think that is great that you guys (ladies) made it.
ReplyDeleteYes, the 70's are a blur. Hehehehee
ROFLMAO - I wish more of the 70s were a blur, actually - I cannot believe I wore hotpants with fishnet pantyhose. Boy does that choker take me back.
ReplyDeleteBut could you guys make me some plant hangers while you're being crafty?
I love Nevada's smile! And, oh yeah, the choker is pretty neat, too.
ReplyDeleteEm, if you lived in my part of the world, you'd see hotpants with fishnet hose on nearly any day of the week -- it IS the '70's all over again here. :-)
did you leave three feet of string hanging in the back where you tied it on? I remember those? macrame was the craft of the 70's.
ReplyDeleteEm, i wore hot pants to my eight grade graduation. and platform shoes im sure. I think they could probably start a new business making planthangers and introduce them to a whole new group of people.
Beautiful smile...great job ladies. OMG! Hotpants ...takes me back lol! Wait'll she goes to school wearing it, you'l be getting requests. Good rainy day fun.
ReplyDeleteAs a matter of fact we didn't why didn't you tell me earlier. I ended up tying some knots together...
ReplyDeleteI don't think I ever owned hotpants. Were they the short shorts with the suspenders?
ReplyDeleteWell, I am way to young to remember the 70's! I was a mere child!
ReplyDeleteNevada has a smile on her face because she is thinking "Look at me, I have one of them Old'in day necklaces on!"
ReplyDeleteYup...back in the 70's...them Old'in Days that you all remember. The 80's are more my scence!
Cat in the Hat Rocks!

Well, I think you get the idea! And that was all from memory, thank you! (Amber quickly hides her Dr S books before they are spotted!)
Did they have Dr S book way back in the old'n days of 70's?
What no witty response to mine? Surely Carol you will not let me down!
ReplyDeleteAlas, sadly I am witless. Not to be confuse with titless. I think I left my thoughts in my socks....
ReplyDeleteHehehehee
