"So, is this angel baby as sweet as me, Lynn? After all
aren't I your sweetie-pie honey-bunch snookems?"
That you definitely are, Precious.
However this angel baby was just one of the projects
I brought home this Spring from the volunteer sewing store.
I took a close up picture of the price tag of what I paid, $1.50.
But I wanted to show that when this complete kit was put on the
shelf somewhere, around 1992 according to the fine print on
the package, it was priced at $6.00.
I can honestly say in 1992, I would never have spent $6 on this
fun but simple kit. Back then my hourly wage might have been
as much as $6 an hour before tax. And basically I am a
penny pincher in every aspect.
I had her finished before the "great visit" took place.
Now to go through my stash and decide the next project.
"How about just time for me only, Lynn. You know I want
my hair brushed."
You're next, Precious, after I show off one of our
freshly hatched Black Swallowtail butterflies. So called
for the tails on the lower wings. We have 1/2 dozen different
species in Ohio, and most are predominantly black, but
one is more yellow, and one is more white.
Thank you for stopping by for a visit and a comment.
It is appreciated.
You certainly look ALL bright eyed
ReplyDeleteand bushy tailed to~day Precious! :).
Precious!x Did you know there are 550
species of Swallowtail butterflies...
they are found ALL over the world,
except Antarctica...And...they are some
of the largest butterflies in the world!
And..over there in North America it is
also known as the 'Parsnip' butterfly...!
And..believe it or not..There is also a
Swallow~tailed moth..!
Willie, I love butterflies so thank you for the extra information. I did not know they were around the world.
DeleteI'm not crafty or handy at all, so I'm always impressed with people's projects. The angel baby is sweet. :-)
ReplyDeletePrecious, we hope you got lots of brushies!
The butterfly is lovely, thanks for posting the pics. Take care and have a wonderful weekend.
I love Lynn's project and the pretty butterfly but Precious you will always be your mama's sweetie-pie honey-bunch snookems and the best photos of all! :)
ReplyDeleteQué ojos más bonitos tiene tu gato y... se cepilla solo? Es sorprendente! bsss
ReplyDeleteYour Angel Baby turned out beautiful Lynn - & yes I like to "penny pinch" too 😉😊 Is that a little brush attached to a stool leg? What a great idea ... I am guessing Precious rubs herself against it as she goes past?
ReplyDeleteThank you Julie, but Angel was fun to make because I do like to embroider.
DeleteAnd yes the comb is attached attached to her favorite step.
That swallowtail certainly is beautiful, and Lynn's craftiness is wonderful. Now for that facial expression in your top photo, Precious- If that face doesn't say "sweetie-pie honey-bunch snookems", nothing does!
ReplyDeleteI'm a penny-pincher, too. My wage isn't so great that I can afford not to be. On the other hand, $1.50 was three-quarters off the regular price, so that was a good deal.
ReplyDeleteGreat post!!! Thanks for sharing. X
ReplyDeleteThe angel is so sweet, Lynn. Nicely done. Swallowtails are one of my favorite butterflies. We had quite a few in Oregon, not so much where I am now. The downside of having a "secret" garden is that it's not out in the open where the butterflies are apt to find it. At least that's my theory on why I'm not seeing butterflies on my patio. Enjoy the rest of your week. xx
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that Angel!!! And oh to have the butterflies to see as they form and when they hatch! I would love that experience. And Precious...you're pretty much always first...you know that. I need MY brushies today too.
