Here's a new one I listed today that really rocks me - I am a sucker for big pockets: <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/204839062/simplicity-3691-endearing-one-piece?" target="_blank">Simplicity 3691 Endearing One-Piece Dress with BIG POCKETS / ca. 1951</a>. It's a "plain" shirtwaist dress but the big slanted pockets make it shine. It's also a plus size which is unusual.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Not alot new listed today - mostly they are from my other store but they haven't been put in yet. There is another huge bin still to list. Keep checking.<br />

Probably my favorite piece of art is from Maxfield Parrish. Probably because for years on our anniversary we would travel to San Francisco and go to The Palace Hotel, Pied Piper Room and sit in the bar, drink overpriced cocktails and gaze at this magnificent work of art. No picture can do it justice - the rich colors leap out and it looks like the characters will come marching out of the picture. If you are ever in San Francisco this is a must see.<br />

I was sad to read earlier this year that Malcolm Young, brother of Angus Young of the group AC/DC was ill and was retiring from the band. The band and family are being super quiet about his illness, lots of speculation from a stroke to alzheimers. The band will be releasing a new album in December without Malcolm. In his stead will be Malcolm and Angus' nephew Stevie Young. I am heartbroken and he will be so missed.<br />

This might be a "two-piece" dress but it's a wiggle dress in my eye. Now because it's "two-piece" it can also be a "pencil skirt" by itself. Decisions decisions.<br />
<br />
Next is one that is scarce, and the envelope pretty pathetic, and the pieces are cut, a bit worn but entirely useable. Just too dang pretty to not list at a deal price! Another "wiggle" dress - and I must admit I do love that "sheath" look from the late 50's to early 60's.<br />

Two days ago I prepped some tomatoes, thick slices of Romas, and put them in the dehydrator for 24 hours. I wanted to make my own "sun dried tomatoes" without actually putting them in the sun. They are now in a big jar and in a week or so I will see if they are any good - grin. Wish me luck. Here's the recipe or instructions if you are curious. <a href="http://homesteadlady.com/how-to-make-sun-dried-tomatoes/" target="_blank">SUN DRIED TOMATOES</a><br />

Here's a recipe that is absolutely tried and true and made several times since I found it. Made it again last night and OMG it is delicious. Of course you have to love brussel sprouts!

Pretty nifty and looks really easy to make. Would also fit nicely into a kitchen area too.<br />
<br />
I bake alot and use tons of<span style="font-size: large;"><b> <span style="color: blue;">vanilla extract</span></b></span>. Did you know you can make your own? Well ... I didn't either LOL. But in my internet wanderings I found out how easy it is. All vanilla is made from alcohol (the drinking kind) and either "vanilla bean extractives" which is the cheapy way or by using real, fresh, vanilla beans. The most common method is to use one cup of vodka and 6 vanilla beans sliced to open them so that their flavor is easily distributed. I used a mason jar with lid. After slicing cut the beans in half and put them in the vodka. Put the lid on and shake well. NOW for the bad part. This must sit for 6 weeks and be shaken a few times a week (or if you are me and can't stand being inactive I shake it every day). I happen to keep fresh vanilla beans on hand but they are easily ordered online - I buy at the <a href="http://www.myspicesage.com/" target="_blank">Spice Sage</a> but sometimes if the prices are too high depending on the season, I will buy them on Ebay.<br />
<br />
If you love fresh spices I can't recommend enough The Spice Sage. They have some killer cayenne and paprika peppers. My favorite is the Smoked Paprika - O M G.<br />
<br />
Well off to the kitchen - oh wait - one more posting of a pretty picture just to ooh and ahh.<br />
<br />
This is a rather unknown breed of horse - the MARWAHI. They come in all colors just like most horses but they have rather goofy and distinctive ears - grin. I learn something new every day.<br />

Hope all of you had a great weekend. We are finally getting cooler temps but the humidity is still horrible. Oh soon, soon, soon, please cooler and less humidity. My yard looks like the house has been abandoned - leaves and debris everywhere, weeds all over. Just too darn hot to step outside and exert myself.<br />
<br />
A couple of patterns of note put in today:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/204457365/advance-2710-red-hot-wrap-dress-with?" target="_blank">Advance 2710 Red Hot Wrap Dress with Full Skirt / ca. 1963</a><br />
<br />
It is a size 16 with a bust of 36" - it is cut but complete and in good condition. Envelope pretty trashed.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The next is for a little girl and it is just the cutest!<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/204456507/mccall-6631-girls-little-red-riding-hood?" target="_blank">McCall 6631 Girl's "Little Red Riding Hood" Cape 1946</a> <br />
<br />
It is a girl's size 6, breast size 24. It has been cut but it is complete and good condition. Envelope of course has the usual wear from age. I just love the little pointy hood!<br />
<br />
A brand new Goodwill just opened a few miles away - I am so excited! What a geek. I spent hours browsing the other day and found a few treasures. The most fun was a big bag of cosmetic sample items from designers - the high dollar stuff - most from Yves Saint Laurent. Having a blast trying all the different complexion creams, eye creams, night creams etc. All for a whopping $1.99!<br />
<br />
I have a hard time finding body lotion that doesn't dry out quickly and still leave my skin feeling dry. If I want to spend a ton of bucks I'm sure I can find a good one but it's not in my budget. Last year a 99Cent store opened near by and when I was in there the other day I grabbed a tube of DERMASIL lotion. O - M - G! For 99 cents this is the best lotion I have ever used. Not greasy and I can apply and all day my skin feels good and not dry. It comes in "Advanced Treatment" and "regular" and I've used both and they are both good. Check it out!<br />
<br />
Last year we adopted two adult cats from the local shelter. One was an 11 month old boy who was a stray (he had to have been lost because he was so friendly and not feral), and one was a turn in who was 5 1/2. The 5 1/2 year old is a Russian Blue as sweet as can be (Her owner got married and her husband hated the cat and made her get rid of her - I would have gotten rid of the husband grrrr). She is also declawed. I noticed that she was having difficulty in the litter box and after some research discovered that the litter was hurting her paws. I have since switched to the log shaped pellets that can be made of paper or wood products. No problems now and frankly I love the lack of odor - these pellets absorb so much better than regular litter. It's worth the little extra price to have a non-stinky litter box.<br />

Here are a few patterns that caught my eye this week:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/203284804/mail-order-4799-spiffy-cape-blouse-pants?" target="_blank">Mail Order 4799 Spiffy Cape, Blouse & Pants 1970's / SZ14 UNCUT</a> and though the top and pants are nice but blah I do really like the little caplet. Fall is here and this little number is perfect for a cool day or evening.<br />

<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/203152719/advance-2943-rockabilly-chic-housecoat?" target="_blank">Advance 2943 Rockabilly Chic Housecoat / ca. 1962 / SZ18 UNCUT</a> and though stated as a housecoat a nifty wrap day dress or button button dress combined with that full skirt it's a perfect afternoon goin' out dress. The envelope is pretty UGH but pattern perfect.<br />
<br />

Though my favorite horses are the quarter horses or even Fresians because they are bulkier nothing beats an Arab for sheet elegance. Check out this outstanding picture - it is taken by a famous horse photographer Raphael Macek:<br />

Even if you don't life in the SoCal area this amazing organization is doing such good work rescuing homeless dogs and also saving senior dogs that have been taken to the animal shelter in the end days because they cannot afford vet bills or do not want to pay for the vet bills. Having a special love for senior dogs I wish I lived in SoCal so I could be a foster mom to many of these senior dogs who just want to be loved in their last days. Please check out their organization <a href="http://leavenopawsbehind.org/" target="_blank">LEAVE NO PAWS BEHIND</a> or their Facebook page <a href="https://www.facebook.com/LNPB0611" target="_blank">LEAVE NO PAWS BEHIND FACEBOOK:</a><br />

Keeping with my Zombie Apocalypse fascination lately (yeah yeah I've read all the classics and must read books now I read to enjoy) I am so enjoying Eric Shelman's Dead Hunger books. Seat gripping! Get under the covers and read them with a flashlight.<br />

Taking a bit of a shift in my blog. Mostly letting you know what new and interesting patterns I have listed, letting you know about special sales just for you readers, and now including fun stuff that I have enjoyed whether it's a special recipe I've loved or want to make, to pictures I love to look at (I am a horse fanatic so beware), books I've read, authors I recommend, movies, gardening tips, outdoor stuff and projects I want to do, houses that I think are interesting, you name it. With more time on my hands after closing my website and opening a smaller store on Etsy I am enjoying my time off by reading alot (my tablet is stuffed with ebooks and now with the new <b><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Kindle-eBooks/b/ref=sv_kstore_7?_encoding=UTF8&ie=UTF8&node=9578129011&pfShowFeatures=&ref_=sv_kstore_7" target="_blank">KINDLEUNLIMITED</a></b> for $9.99 a month OMG), and puttering around the house, cooking, etc. I post alot on Facebook the fun things I find but I do keep my Facebook private for close friends and family. I often wish I could share more of these interesting things to even more people. Then a little bulb went on over my head - MY BLOG!<br />
<br />
To start here are a few new items listed in my Etsy store this week:<br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />With all the reading I am doing for some reason I glommed on to Zombie / end of the world apocolypse books. Okay I've read the classics (yawn), never been a romance book fan, mostly suspense, action or even political books, but when I got my Kindle and scanned their store a title jumped out at me. <i>Adrian's Undead Diary Book One Dark Recollections</i>. The author is Chris Philbrook. Hmm I thought. With my Unlimited account I popped it onto my ereader. Two pages in and I was hooked. Uniquely written, super funny, lots of action, nothing like I expected and it was fun! In nothing flat I have read the whole series of 7 and there is one last one coming soon. Very talented and gifted writer. Highly recommend if you enjoy this type of book which I have found out I do!</span></span></h1>

<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>Hello everyone! I'mmmmmmmmm back. LOL. Whew some hectic few weeks winding down and then closing my website and opening my new store on Etsy. I was quite overwhelmed and buried in patterns.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>Downsizing from almost 7000 patterns to about 1000 at this point was tough. Many of the newer patterns have been passed on to friends or given to thrift stores unless they were pretty dynamic and hard to find - those I have kept. I won't be listing any of the usual patterns anymore but only those that are unique, vintage, hard to find. I have two more huge bins of patterns pulled that fit that description and I will over time be putting them into Etsy.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>My pattern room has so much room now I am overwhelmed. What to do with all that extra room? Well since my kitchen is stuffed with blenders, juicers, bread makers, etc., I put some of the kitchen overflow onto the pattern shelves. That works! I wanted to make yogurt the other day so I popped into the "pattern" room and pulled the machine off the shelf. No more digging around under kitchen cabinets. Easier for my poor old body than crawling around on the floor - grin. Guess that room will become a storage / pantry room now with a small area for patterns.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>I would like very much to have you check out my site and have created a <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">20% off coupon</span></span> just for you readers.</b></span><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">FINAL CLEARANCE SALE FOR STORE CLOSING<br />50% OFF ALL ITEMS</span><br />USE COUPON CODE <span style="color: #38761d;">CLEANOUT</span><br />Sale will end on Midnight July 2nd.</span></b></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Things are progressing pretty fast in my store closing. I suspect that by the end of June or first week in July I will be closed. I have whittled down alot of patterns - probably 1200 that have been reduced in price at least half. You can find those immediate sale patterns by clicking on the What's New link and there is a link there for the reduced patterns that I have been working on for weeks. Most are reduced by 1/3 to 1/2 and some even by 3/4 price. Keep checking back because I am going month by month slashing prices and I am about half way thru February.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Use Coupon Code <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">CLEANOUT</span></b> during checkout to get 50% off! Just remember that the 50% off is an even better price because about 1200 patterns have already been greatly reduced. A $4.00 pattern at 50% off will be only $2.00!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">It would be easier for me to just dump all the patterns at a thrift store but then you wouldn't great some great patterns at a great price too!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">When the store actually closes I will post a day or so before and if there are enough patterns left I will put in an even bigger discount - so keep an eye out! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Happy shopping! </span><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
Some big news – I am closing my website store due to health issues.<span> </span>No worries - nothing life threatening.<span> </span>However - maintaining my huge store with
thousands of patterns just is a struggle so I am greatly reducing my inventory
and moving the nicest of vintage patterns and items into my new <span style="color: magenta;">ETSY
STORE</span>!<span> </span>You can find me with my new store
name “<span style="color: blue;">OutoftheAshesSewing</span>” at Etsy.Com.</span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
My new store will feature only vintage or rare newer patterns.</span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
I anticipate closing my website at the end of July if not sooner.<span> </span>I have slashed a lot of prices and every day
will reduce prices even more to move these less collectible vintage patterns
and the newer patterns.<span> </span>Many of the
craft patterns have been lowered to $3 just to move them.<span> </span>I can’t bear to bag so many patterns up to
give away to the thrift stores so please shop away!<span> </span>It would be good to keep checking in daily
because as I said every day I am reducing prices by going thru month by
month.<span> </span>I am just starting November 2013
so a lot of months to go.<span> </span>I am happy to
combine multiple orders to make sure you get the free shipping within the U.S.</span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
I am offering a big 40% OFF all items from now until midnight Sunday June 15<sup>th</sup>
Arizona time – you can use the coupon code EXTRA to get your discount.<span> </span>At that time I will eyeball what is left and
decide whether to close or do another sale with even more of a discount!</span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
Happy Shopping and huge thanks and blessings to all of you who have shopped
with me since the beginning or recently found me.<span> </span>Your business has been so very appreciated
and I have made some life long friends along the way.<span> </span>God bless!</span></b></div>

If one has to in their golden years (hee hee) get a part time job no one, absolutely no one, is as lucky as I am. Being a rabid animal lover I happened to be in our local pet store just a short way from where I live buying kitty food and asked them if they needed help. They said "you're hired!" - they have been friends and even attend the same church that we do so it's working with friends and I get to pet and hold every animal that comes in. It's a pet friendly store so all kinds of dogs come for a visit. They don't sell pets only supplies luckily.<br />
<br />
It has taken up quite a bit of my free time so my blogs will be brief if at all - except for letting you know about sales!<br />
<br />
If you want to see what is the best of my postings I am now on Pinterest. I so want to preserve the best of the vintage patterns and unique patterns so that people will always be able to access the pictures. Here is a link to my <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/risingfeenix/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a><br />
<br />
I'm really enjoying putting other fun things up on Pinterest as well. Favorite recipes, pet pictures, favorite websites, etc. <br />

Oh oh - I just finished a really interesting book and thought I would share with you. If you haven't read Divergent give it a try. IMO it's not as well written as I had hoped but the concept is truly original. A bit too "teen romance" between the main character and a trainer but again the story itself is really interesting. I have a feeling the movie will be better. I downloaded the audio book and enjoyed the narrator too. Just downloaded the audio of Insurgent and looking forward to seeing what else happens! Not near as good as the Hunger Games series but worth a read.<br />
<br />
Enjoy your spring and I hope that wherever you live that you are enjoying warmer temps than we've had. Okay well Arizona has been great but I know that most of the middle and east coast have been slammed with awful weather. You deserve a warm spring!Sheila / Out of the Ashes Collectibleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18042542038491371144noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905231145787139406.post-14092376514651508062014-02-14T08:51:00.002-08:002014-02-14T08:51:33.257-08:00<div style="text-align: center;">

The sale starts right now and will go thru Monday night midnight Arizona time. Lots of time to shop.<br />
<br />
I am still working my way thru that batch of 80's patterns and am trying to put a few in every day. Most of them are pretty scarce or even rare. <br />
<br />
Here are some of the outstanding vintage ones I've put in the last week or so:<br />

<br />
Oh my gosh why did 2013 scream by at warp speed? I think it's called getting old.<br />
<br />
The last few weeks I have obtained a lady's collection of several hundred 1980's patterns and they were overall fantastic. I spent alot of my time off scanning them but not editing most of them - yet. I did put in a number of them today that I had already listed in the past but they were out of stock. Luckily I retain all my pictures so relisting was easy. Oh oh another great mention is that most of the patterns had duplicates in different sizes. Nothing worse than loving a pattern that isn't in your size. <br />
<br />
The holidays were quiet - spent with Harry's mom and some dear friends. I hate traveling during Christmas but it's hard not to be with my sister and her husband. She promises to come visit soon though!<br />
<br />
New Year's Eve was spent at home eating pulled pork with friends and sitting out by the fire pit until about 11:30 when we all couldn't make it LOL. By the time we got into bed it was a few minutes before midnight so we at least were semi-awake and heard fireworks. My how times change - grin.<br />
<br />
No resolutions - I gave them up years ago so I don't get disappointed in myself. But I am trying to read The Bible more often, and get to be a better cook, do more gardening, and get some chickens!<br />
<br />
Speaking of cooking, I no longer buy the spices and herbs in the stores. I discovered a great website that sells everything I could possibly want at reasonable prices, and free shipping. After my first few purchases I am completely sold on only using the freshest herbs and spices. Smelling and tasting - there is just no comparison. Baking alot and using cloves, nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon, etc. the great fresh spices make such a difference in the end product. Check them out at <a href="http://www.myspicesage.com/" target="_blank">MY SPICE SAGE</a><br />
<br />
Here is my favorite of the ones listed today - sadly only the one but it's sure to go quickly so if it's your size grab it.<br />

Sheila / Out of the Ashes Collectibleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18042542038491371144noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905231145787139406.post-9768399835005622842013-11-19T13:17:00.000-08:002013-11-19T13:17:01.145-08:00McCall's 6515 Fashion Diva's Smocked Hats 1962<br />
Only a high of 77 today - what a great break in the weather for us. Our blood is so thin I'm actually wearing a sweater.<br />
<br />
Keep an eye out for the Thanksgiving holiday sale that I will start probably on that Thanksgiving day or the evening before. I am committed to reducing my inventory to be at about 4000 so almost 3000 patterns will be deleted or relisted at a reduced price. Every day I check to see what old listings haven't sold and decide what will stay and what will go. Anything I already have a picture of I will list so not to waste all the time and effort it took me to do the work but I will only be buying the more scarce and collectible patterns from now on. The more I can stay off the keyboard the easier on my hands.<br />
<br />
Do you have any special dishes that you make for Thanksgiving? Our family tradition always includes creamed pearl onions. I added the use of feta or goat cheese to enrich the white sauce and it has become an even bigger hit in the family. Also - my brandied cranberries. OMG have you seen the price of cranberries??? Well of course the prices of everything has skyrocketed. I bought some extra bags of cranberries and have dehydrated them. They are handy to have on hand when making breads or adding to cereal. Crossing my fingers that they go on sale so I can stock up my cubbard - which reminds me I need to get more mason jars.<br />
<br />
I've been making my own yogurt lately and though it's a bit of work it's so worth the effort. So rich and creamy. Once it's made I drain a can of mandarin oranges, squeeze the juice out (to keep the yogurt richer), add a banana and a little sugar, and some vanilla, and a few tablespoons of lime juice, blend until smooth and then freeze in small containers for my evening snack or even breakfast. I've made all kinds of flavors but this is my favorite.<br />
<br />
Also made a batch of mascarpone cheese that is so rich I want to wear pearls while tasting it. The mascarpone chicken last night will make a wonderful leftover dinner tonight. On Tuesdays we have Bible study so cooking is a hassle. I made some blueberry ice cream and some lemon bread for snacks for the study group.<br />
<br />
A couple of big winners today to put in:<br />

<b> Lots of things going around in my head. My FMS has limited my ability to do as much as I have in the past as I indicated in the previous posting. At this time I am going to reduce my stock at my store by not restocking as many new (not vintage - those will still be listed as often as I find them) that aren't as interesting or eye catching. The "generic" patterns will be reduced. As they are sold I will not relist the less interesting patterns. I want to reduce my stock by 1/3 for now. I am working toward a manageable but still profitable site (the more hours I put in the more sales I make and I am willing to work less to generate less sales). From close to 7000 I want to weed out to about 4000 still maintaining great patterns and choice. When I get to that point I will see how I am able to handle it. I have checked into Etsy and that is also a possibility if I find that maintaining a 4000 level is still a difficulty. Lots of options! I really don't like selling on Ebay so that won't be in the future but I know that most sellers on Etsy are happy so if I go that way I know I can maintain a great variety of collectible patterns and have it be manageable.</b></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><span style="color: red;">IS IT TIME FOR A SALE? YES! </span></b></span></div>
<br />
Forgive my slackness in giving you all updates and info on my pattern listings. My FMS (Fibromyalgia Syndrome) has really spiked the last few months affecting my hands and arms. Some days I can't even do my listings. When I am able to list the thought of posting on my blog makes me cringe. I may not be as consistent as I used to be or want to be but hang in there. <br />
<br />
Before I found out I had FMS I had never even heard of it. If I had I would have thought someone made it up or it was all in their head. Well this is a good life lesson to not judge. I wish it was all in my head. I've done alot of research on the subject and sometimes knowledge is a dangerous thing - grin. If you have, or know someone who suffers from FMS you know how disruptive it is for someone to cope day to day. <a href="http://www.fmnetnews.com/" target="_blank">Fibromyalgia Network</a> for info.<br />
<br />
Since I haven't been listing as much, but still collecting (any time I go to town I hit the thrift stores and of course weekends are full of yard sales and estate sales) my pattern storage is a disaster.<br />
<br />
I will try to do better next week but in the meantime help me decrease my patterns so I can start reducing the piles in my storage room. SALE TIME!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>20% off all orders from right now until Sunday night at midnight AZ time. Use coupon code <span style="color: red;">CLEANOUT</span> during checkout.</b></span></span><br />
<br />
Great time to prepare your fall and winter wardrobe.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

Of course I put in pattern pictures but it's fun to have boards with recipes, pet pictures and just "stuff" - if you haven't tried it do it. I think you'll enjoy it. <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/risingfeenix/boards/" target="_blank">My Pinterest Link</a><br />

My poor boy cat Tobey has allergies so he and my husband (who has them too) have been sneezing up a storm. I did take him to the vet who gave him a shot for allergies and also an antibiotic just in case he was getting an upper respiratory virus. I have spent days dusting, vacuuming, mopping, washing all the bedding and instead of hanging them outside (at 100+ degrees outside who needs a dryer?) I've been using my dryer to avoid any pollen getting on them. I even washed the couch pillows. Sheesh. Oh also switched his cat litter to a non-dusty brand. His sneezing has subsided alot. The cat - not my husband. Ouch just noticed that I did all that cleaning for the cat and not the husband. How bad is that LOL.<br />
<br />
Speaking of cat litter. My boy is so fussy he hates to set foot in the litter box but he is such a good boy! (BTW I keep the box pristine and even change is about every 3 to 4 days) He does this spidery act to balance on the sides of the box and then moves into position. When I spotted him doing this the first time I couldn't stop laughing. He of course looked indignant that I saw him and laughed. Here he is doing his balancing act.<br />

This poor pattern envelope is very beat up and age discolored but don't let that stop you.

It's a plus size pattern with style!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">So many different styles, lengths and sizes of coats to go thru for just that right one: <a href="http://risingfeenix.com/inc/searchresults?s=coatonly&ss=coatonly&n=672325" target="_blank">COAT PATTERNS</a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">For not so cold days or for those cool offices at work: <a href="http://risingfeenix.com/inc/searchresults?s=jkonly&ss=jkonly&n=752679" target="_blank">JACKET PATTERNS</a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">For a complete ensemble for work or leisure time: <a href="http://risingfeenix.com/inc/searchresults?s=pantsuit%20AND%20bust&ss=pantsuit%20bust&n=442194" target="_blank">PANTSUIT PATTERNS</a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Stay warm in your profession both retro and new styles: <a href="http://risingfeenix.com/inc/searchresults?s=career%20AND%20suit%20AND%20bust&ss=career%20suit%20bust&n=389866" target="_blank">SUIT PATTERNS</a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Put away those summer dresses: <a href="http://risingfeenix.com/inc/searchresults?s=dress%20AND%20bust%20AND%20-summer%20AND%20-sleeveless%20AND%20semidress&ss=dress%20bust%20-summer%20-sleeveless%20semidress&n=393384" target="_blank"> LONG SLEEVE DRESSES</a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">To help in your searches here are some more "keywords" I put in when I list every pattern.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Semidress</b></u> - means a bit dressy, for a date, can wear to work or dinner out. Not just for dresses but also for tops and skirts, tops and pants and even dressy pantsuits and suits. You can narrow any search by using semidress with the word dress, or top and skirt, etc.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Career</b></u> - Suitable for work, often interchangeable with "semidress" - again you can narrow your search with what you are looking for. i.e. dress, pantsuit, suit, top and skirt</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Many patterns have interchangeable uses. Depending on your item selection with what the pattern offers your outfit can be casual, ready to wear to work or going out on a date and to a party.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Using keywords helps narrow your search to exactly what you are looking for. Other keywords:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Tops only: toponly (includes shirts, tops, blouses). These patterns are literally only tops.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Pants patterns only: panonly</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Skirt patterns only: skonly</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Want something extra fancy? Use these keywords alone or together. evening wear, formals, prom, cocktail party and, as always you can include the word dress or top and skirt, etc.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If you want a fancy party outfit that has a halter top use the word halter in your search. i.e. halter dress or halter top to narrow your search.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Other fancy outfit keywords: strapless, spaghetti strap, wiggle</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Well off to do some baking today. I ran a MIL errand to Phoenix yesterday and my poor back is trashed today so I am glad to not be sitting at my desk listing. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">OH OH OH! I just love pinterest. I have spent alot of time (time I should have been blogging) posting pattern pictures on pinterest. I think it's important to keep these beautiful patterns for people to find and admire. When doing research on my listings I kept running into patterns on pinterest. I'm doing some personal stuff on it too but any vintage or extra nice newer pattern gets put in too. Check out my recipes which are ones I have made and already love.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">HAPPY SHOPPING! </span><br />
