Handworks Crochet and then Some!

First up,,,, new cut!!!! And I love it! After awhile of dealing with hair that won't curl, won't go up, looks stringy down, hangs in my face, won't "poof" like I like in the back...

Now, let me say thanks to my Mom for being on the lookout for fabulous sewing goodies for me when she hits the flea markets. She hit the jackpot this weekend!!! She got me these 2 Magic fit "kits" to the right. I have no ideal how to use them! They have french curves in them.. dart templates, pattern paper and instruction books... They are so neat!! To the left is a huge amount of back issue Machine Embroidery, Sews News and many other sewing magazines. Now the magazines came for her stash... but she got all those cool vintage patterns you see at the flea market!! There are a few my size.. the others I would have to size up 1 or 2 sizes. These...
