I made this hat for the swap from a pattern I purchased awhile ago from The Vintage Pattern Lending Library
I wanted to add ribbon and flowers or lucky charms on the edge of the hat but since there was such a concern about the package running late I'll let the future owner add what she likes. I did get a chance to embroider the words "lucky Hat" on the inside.
I love Cloche Hats.
These are the items I made for My Colorized Swap Partner on Flickr. I don't think I will join that swap group ever again. I was running a little late sending the items to Portugal because I had to take care of paperwork for my taxes and one of the Admins sent me an email with a nasty undertone.
I see swapping as a way to spread kindness and happiness. This Swap was an UNHAPPY SWAP for me.
If I'm nice enough to say I'm running late, that should be better than not sending anything at all.

I wish that my ink cartridges were cheaper!
I came home from work today to find this wonderful package Margarita sent me. The sweet felt bird garland has the word "love" embroidered on them in Spanish and English. The stamp is a little green Kokeshi Mushroom Girl Stamp, and she enclosed a card from her hometown in CA. along with a card of adorable Vintage cut out Valentine's.
Thank You sooooooo MUCH!
This was a special surprise. :0)
I have started collecting fabric panel dolls.
This one is my favorite because she is printed on natural colored Osnaburg material that is a little bit textured and has a beefier feel than the thin regular cotton panel pillow dolls you normally see.
When I get a chance to scan her I will share her on Flickr. I love that some flour companies used to print dolls on the actual flour bag as a promotion.
Too Cute! I wish they still did it.

THE SONG:
I'm Chiquita Banana, and I've come to say
Bananas have to ripen in a certain way.
And when they are flecked with brown
and have a golden hue,
Bananas taste the best, and are the best for you.
You can put them in a salad. You can put
them in a pie - aye.
Anyway you want to eat them it's
impossible to beat them.
But bananas like the climate of the very,
very tropical equator.
So you should never put bananas in the refrigerator.
Ms.Banana has been replaced since the 40's.
There seems to have been a big rage of Anthro (human faced) kitchen items, ANTHROPOMORPHIC, ANTHROMORPHIC items. A japanese ceramic company named NAPCO made salt and pepper shakers to go with the trend. I'm glad to see that we still have Mr. Peanut around. *
This picture is for Self Portrait Tuesday's "All Of Me" Feb. Theme about embracing our flaws.
I have deep set eyes and no matter how much sleep I get, I can never get rid of the dark circles around my eyes.
Another great group on Flickr.
