Vintage love

I get quite amazed and, to be quite honest, jealous, at the amount some bloggers get accomplished. Not only do they crank out glorious projects at what seems like an assembly line speed, they take gorgeous photos daily, edit, load and blog poetic inspiring prose. They are writing books, reading quality books, baking, sewing for themselves and their children, caring for their families, renovating homes.....HOW??????? how, how, how, how,HOW do they get it all done?!?!? Truly makes me feel like a slug sometimes.

Anyway, on to much better and inspiring topics! Here is a pic of the Ipod cozy's for 2 little sisters I made. Mom wanted them the same so they only difference I made was the button.

Some vintage goodies new to me! The towel, I picked up at a thrift store for $.10!! and the turquoise pyrex dish was given to me straight out of my MIL cupboards after I spied it hiding in there.
Turquoise
also these red, white and yellow beauties!

Anyone out there stamp much? I need to find a good quality ink to use on cardstock for hangtags, thank-you cards and such. There are so many different kinds!! Any suggestions?

I'm feeling some especially strong inspiration to use my vintage linens collection. Some of my recent flickr favorites help inspire me...

Those cozies are wonderful. The buttons are so fun, as is the fabric. I bet the recipients are thrilled. You've been making some beautiful things and are quite productive from my eye view ;-)

Happy spring!

Hi Brandy!
Love the Ipod holders!

You asked how some bloggers get so much done? Well, my housework falls to the wayside and it is 11:40 at night and I am trying to catch up with all of my blogging friends who left comments..Since I got back from Italy, I am sooo far behind in EVERYTHING - lol.
Hugs,
Penny
