RubyLemons: I did sew a little bit this summer...
http://rubylemons.blogspot.com/2010/10/i-did-sew-little-bit-this-summer.html
Wednesday, October 6, 2010. I did sew a little bit this summer. I thought I'd have all this time. Here's a top that I started for myself in the 70s. It's been cut out all these years, stashed in my closet, and rediscovered this summer during a cleaning binge. Here's the funny part - the fabric was cut out with pattern pieces still intact, but the envelope and instruction sheets were no where to be found. So I winged it. Adorned with the vintage turquoise rick rack, the peter pan collar is sweet. Check ou...

RubyLemons: Just Being Childish!
http://rubylemons.blogspot.com/2013/05/just-being-childish.html
Wednesday, May 15, 2013. Maybe it has something to do with me becoming a new grandma,. But my last four vintage fabric finds have been juvenile prints! I think this first one is the oldest - the look, the feel, the faded fold. For some reason, I want to say 1930s. Could it be? Cupid bear is holding a 30's-green bow and arrow. The girl's eyes seem Betty Boopish to me. Look at the stockings and shoes. 36" width - four yards - cotton. Next is the kitty, sheep, goats, bunnies, ducks. Love the robin's egg blue.

RubyLemons: What Moms Do
http://rubylemons.blogspot.com/2013/05/what-moms-do.html
Saturday, May 11, 2013. We moms have radar when it comes to our kids. A friend recently gave me an old newspaper she found stuffed between some basement walls. This small article was on the front page of the Milwaukee Journal dated April 22, 1956. FRONT page! My mom holding me along with my brothers and sister. Mom and me - 1975. To my beautiful mom and moms everywhere! Put THAT on the front page! May 14, 2013 at 2:43 PM. Your mom is beautiful! I love you mom! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

RubyLemons: All Good Things...
http://rubylemons.blogspot.com/2015/08/all-good-things.html
Monday, August 10, 2015. As the old saying goes, "All good things come to those who wait.". It must have been Breaking Dawn part I. Yes - the timing would be right - November 2011. A group of us had made it a date to go to the midnight premieres of the Twilight saga. Movies. A fun girl thing. Only online. So, it was ever-present in my mind that I HAD to get a dozen or so garments ready in order for my shop to have enough inventory, right? And this was taking me for-ev-ver! Enter my friend, Karen, on prem...

RubyLemons: May 2015
http://rubylemons.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 4, 2015. I Finally Got My Groove On! I should have posted a long time ago. I finally opened my second Etsy store. Six months ago. I know. Would it have been so hard to create a little blog post about it? I mean, afterall, this is what I've been working toward for a long time, right? The answers to those questions are no and yes. Who wants to hear it! Nobody. Let's talk about my shop. I named my shop Groove Cloth. Anyway, I enjoy running the shop and try to include all the extra touches to giv...

Release the St Bernards.. | American Alconleigh
https://americanalconleigh.wordpress.com/2015/01/26/release-the-st-bernards
Release the St Bernards. January 26, 2015. January 26, 2015. Have generators, and could probably survive until the summer. We never really felt the need for such unattractive, cacophonous pieces of machinery. Rather seemed a bit doomesday prepper for our lifestyle. If our house ever fails to provide for us we simply close the door and go to another. But now our little upturned noses will be frostbitten because the snow will have us trapped here to face our folly. Blizzard of ’78. I’ve been reading ...

I Went to Olly’s to See Rufus. August 27, 2014. August 28, 2014. I was reminded of an echo of that feeling when I spent the night at the Oliver Wight house. He spent several years wandering up and down the East Coast with his painting gear. He did some portraits but the bulk of his work was on the walls of private homes and public hostelries exchanging work for lodging. At some point in his travels, he stopped into an Inn in Massachusetts where, almost 200 years later, Bebe would rest her head. Is sendin...
