Another find from the labour day weekend ( man, September is going by fast!! ) is this crazy thrift find-
It should just be called BIZARRE because it is.
It was so chock full of fun little toy patterns that I was moved to part with my quarter.
Really!
The main problem is that almost all the paterns require "disc needles". Does anyone know what that is? Maybe it is just a British way to say circular needles?
Get ready! The next craft sale is going to be ALL acrylic clothes peg holders and bunnies in odd mint or peach colors. Everyone I know who is having a baby soon will roll their eyes when they see me coming.
PS- Any kids out there who have a coloring book page they would like to show me? I would love to fatten up my photo album of finished pages!!
what an incredible find! i can't wait to see what you make:) is your labor day later than the states?

that is too funny. have you ever seen threadbared.com? it is a hilarious site... look under the "crafts" catagory. they have a tonne of funny stuff about vintage craft books just like that one. it never fails to make me laugh out loud.
p.s. i think you should make the bunny or the grey lamb.

seeing the water bag made me wonder; do people still use them? i've seen them in a few drug stores but electric pads and the patches you stick on are more common aren't they? i like them. they have an old world charm to them.
