Some Cute Little Chicks
Back in the mid fifties, Sherry took tap dancing lessons like so many kids did (including my sister and me when we were in grade school - the only lessons we ever had in anything). In the recital, her little group did two dances - this one being the little chicks and the lone little rooster. Sherry is the little girls second from the right. I made her costume - it was yellow maribou - and very, very wispy and flyaway. My sewing machine was in our living room and we had a dark green rug. Get the picture? But it's pretty darned cute, isn't it?
Fast forward into the eighties - and here is Sherry's oldest daughter, Norah, while she was at Grandma and Grandma's house, all dressed up in the old costume. The hat had lost its "feathers" but not its beak. And Norah is in the same pose as the little class. Fun times! (Click to enlarge)

Fashion Friday, Fashionably Late
I forgot Fashion Friday! So I will post this picture of Molly, my middle granddaughter, and her friend, Angie, when they came over to our house one day proably the first summer we were living in Michigan. I have about three old dresses saved in the basement and they had great fun trying them - each one tried on all three of them. In this picture, Molly is looking lovely in the salmon colored taffeta dress I wore as my sister's maid of honor. Angie is wearing my toast satin wedding suit. Molly will be getting married in August this year so it will be a trip to Portland to celebrate the her wedding to Doug. So looking forward to that wonderful time.

Two Special Occasions to Post

The other special occasion------------------------
This is my 500th post to Funoldhag. I do so enjoy blogging and also enjoy reading your blogs. There's a feeling that we know each other through what is written. I have no giveaway, but I want to thank all of you, bloggers or not, who read my attempts at posting something kind of fun to look at and maybe saying something funny or maybe something sensible occasionally. And I thank you for leaving me comments which I think all bloggers love. Now I will start on my road to 1000!! It has taken me almost two years to reach 500 so 1000 will probably come sometime in early 2012! WOW!
My Embroidery "Tin"

six so far - one is in the tin - and I have written the number of the color on each little card, so that is a small step towards improving my floss storage and changing my messy ways. It may take a while, but I will keep striving to clean up my tin. However, I love it when you tease or are being teased and have good giggles over things like that - so I'll probably work at it slowly!

More Old Catalog Pages
Today was Sit and Sew for the quilt guild and a very nice way to spend a day. A congenial group of gals and some giggles, and most actually do get quite a bit accomplished.

Finally, The Final Tisket, Tasket Baskets

It's been a long, long time since I did anything on this little BOM piece. I now have the last two blocks fused and ready for applique. Maybe if I keep at it I will be able to get it all together and quilted for our quilt show the end of April. I kept up with it until before Christmas then just kind of let it go by the wayside. Once the fabrics are picked and it's fused, it's a piece of cake. I still have Red Delicious to finish but that is just putting the sashing and borders on. Will see how it goes. (Click to enlarge)
