I have my grandmom's old sewing box and found tiny spools of thread and little thimbles.. I am not a seamstress but I do love the contrasting textures.
Potinhos valiosos e tão esperados, e respectivos certificados, de fabricação e material, alguns em prata e outros banhados em ouro 24...
Eyre: Hey, Lulu, can we talk to you about something?
Lulu: Sure! What about?
Eyre: Uh, well,..uh...
Cherry: Be nice about it!
Eyre: Shut up Cherry or you do it.
Cherry: Fine, I will, so there. Okay, um...Lulu, you know we love you, but-
Eyre, interrupting: It's about your hair.
Lulu: My hair?
Eyre: Yeah it's gotten just a little too...foofy.
Cherry: And lopsided. Generally off-putting.
After talking with my dear friend, Paige, I decided to take a "two for one" photo - two collections in one picture. Almost every summer as a kid, we would take a two week family vacation to some place in the USA. Mom decided that my sister and I should each have a collection of something to help remember our travels. Shelly collected spoons and I collected thimbles. Now as an adult I continue the tradition. When on a trip, there are three things I have to buy: a spoon, a thimble, and an ornament (or key chain we can make into one) for Mom. Dad gets whatever I find that I think he will find interesting. I picked up this thimble in La Mancha, Spain, a place famous for windmills and Don Quijote. I paired it with another souvenir - mud people. This is Don Quijote (or if you prefer- Quixote) and his faithful sidekick Sancho Panza. PS - While writing this post, I remember that Cervantes (the author) died in April and Don Quijote was a fool. Happy April Fool's day. (no pranks in this post, btw)
71/365 We have a tradition in our family to bring back thimbles from wherever we travel (And I love travelling) The last place I travelled to was to Kerala last October (I know that thimble isn't in this photo but it was displayed on one of the higher holders and I was feeling a little too lazy to grab a chair!) I am definitely craving a holiday, and am hopefully going to Rome next month so am looking forward to that!
Entering the first tunnel of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, a bridge-tunnel system that spans seventeen miles, connecting Hampton Roads with the Eastern Shore on the Delmarva Peninsula. From Wikipedia: "The individual components of the Bridge-Tunnel are not the longest or the largest ever built. However, the total project was unique in the number and different types of major structures included in one crossing — including trestles, tunnels, artificial islands, bridges, causeway and approach roads — and that it was built under adverse conditions and for adverse conditions."
The green & red plaid dress, pj's, and pink pants and top were from Cindy to Amelia for Christmas. Amelia is wearing the pink pants under her crocheted dress.
