Simplicity 7484 Sassy Front Wrap Halter Dress 1976 - okay it's heading into winter but summer will be here before you know it!

Bad for me - lucky for you - came down with a bad cold while camping so spent most of my time inside the 5th wheel bundled up and sorting thru old patterns and doing scanning. Wow I'm actually ahead. Doing alot of sniveling & sniffling and generally feeling sorry for myself. It's lunchtime and I'm still in my jammies.

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend with your loved ones!

Advance 8161 Awesome Cover-Up Apron - Pretty Scalloping 1950's

This is just one of about 10 or 12 old apron patterns I just acquired. I think I will be putting at least one more in tomorrow (I've already done my scanning and my memory isn't what it used to be - grin) -

Racing around getting ready to go camping for the holiday weekend and I not only look like I've been dragged thru a bush backwards I feel like it too.

Here is the entire bunch listed today without a breakdown so sorry!

Only experts need apply to this one - so many tucks and pleats and I wouldn't be brave enough!

Butterick 3407 Simply Divine Dress - Front & Back Pleats 1985

Being addicted to "What Not to Wear" (the English show is the bomb!) this is a very figure flattering style in the waistline hip area. Slenderizing for my shape even if the upper part would make me look like Max Headroom.

Learned a new word with this one "Pirt" - Vogue 6160 Rockin' Blouse & Pantskirt "Pirt" 1960's. At first I thought it was a typo - then I tried the online dictionary, a Google search and then a lightbulb went on over my head that Pirt is a combo of duh - skirt and pants. Some days my own bulb dims - ha!

Apologies for no postings at end of last week - between computer problems & last minute weekend plans I didn't know whether to cry or set my hair on fire. But I did have a fun and relaxing weekend in the desert again and took my computer and printer and got tons of patterns scanned so I'll be ahead for once!

Advance 9928 Classic Collarless Dress & Belt 1960's which doesn't have alot of bells and whistles but is so versatile. Don't think there's anyone's figure it wouldn't flatter.

Normally try to keep away from the oldies and put in some newish - unique pictures but this was too yummy to not share.

This is me in our Prowler just outside of Spooky Canyon which wasn't really Spooky just fun. Okay didn't make it home Sunday nite because we were having way too much fun! I am working right now on pictures to go in later today. We got home late morning Monday and packed my guts out so all paid orders ship today! Ocotillo was awesome and we spent almost every day touring the desert and mountains with some rather adventurous trails to say the least! Weather in the low 90's so very comfortable.

Check later today to see what's been listed using this link: LISTED TODAY

"Me at the bubbling mud pots" and Our Home Away From Home

Simplicity 1201 Pixie Blouse & Overblouse / ca. 1955 - I just can't tear my eyes away from this blouse. That little bow tied shoulder - sigh.

I didn't list as many today as normal because we got a last minute invite to go to Ocotillo Wells in California to go camping and we leave tomorrow. I'll list some more in the morning before we leave BUT of course a sale is in order because I won't be able to mail anything until Monday/Tuesday. I'll figure out a coupon code and put it in tomorrow so head over and make out your shopping list!

Question - do any of you do any off-roading? This is actually a misnomer because there is no actual going off the road. Riding is done on dirt roads - anyone who leaves the dirt road is asking for trouble and deserves it!
