Transfer Tuesday???

I know it is not Tuesday sorry about that.  I caught a cold and have been out of sorts for the last couple of days and today as well.  I had cold medicine I walk around in a cloud.  For a belated Veterans Day pattern enjoy the cross stitch pattern. 

This comes from Coats & Clark's Book No. 129.

Transfer Tuesday

Tuesday is not over yet better late than never right?  This girl is a favorite of mine.  She reminds me of that scene in Fiddler on the roof when the Russians put bottles on their heads and dance.  I love that scene.  I hope you have a good what is left of Tuesday.

Who Said Disney on Ice is Just for Kids??

I would have never said that ..... actually I did. when I  agreeded to go wtih with Brian's family this weekend.  I said we are going to be the only ones without children and I was right.

We still had a blast look at the cool tulip hat and some flashy glasses I bought.  They have three different light speeds.  I wore them for part of the show they just kept steaming up so I could not wear them the entire time.  I did wear them on the way home and while at home hence the picture taken in my PJs. (the peace sign I have no idea why I do it, it is just my signature in all my pictures since I was 8)

The ice skaters were amazing.  I loved watching ice skating and ballet.  Brian and I hope to maybe actually go to see Nutcracker in Seattle this Holiday season we will see it all depends if I can get time off.  I started a new job and it is pretty much just me covering everything in the office so we will see how that all works out.

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

Transfer Tuesday

Here is a favorite Workbasket, Days of the Week Bears.  They are all so cute in the way they are dressed up and doing all shorts of cute things.  I just adore cartoon bears, there is just somethign about a cute cuddly thing that in real life could kill you I guess.  The full set can be found here. 

I am really not sure on the year of any of my workbasket patterns.  Last year I won a box of Workbasket patterns on ebay that weighted 8.5 lbs 8.5lbs!!  I was shocked when it arrived and at how heavy and full the box was. 

I do get a bit overwhelmed when I go through my pattterns and see how many I own and I wonder if I will ever get a chance to actually embroider them all or will someone end up buying them at a yard sale after I pass away and use them for her collection.

I have given some away on this blog and I probably will give some more away in the near future as a way to ease my mind so keep checking back.

I have several vintage cross stitch patterns please let me know if you are interested in having them posted on a Tuesday.
Have a good day.

P.S. It was brought to my attention that people were not able to download my transfer last week.  I have since changed my permissions and it should not be a problem now.  Happy Stitching!

Tuesday Transfer Day

I have really missed sharing vintage transfers ever since the Vogart scare of 2008.  Most of my vintage patterns had been Vogart so it really had diminished my fun of sharing those patterns with everyone.  I have since bought lots of Workbasket patterns and other non-Vogart ones.  My plan is to share one pattern a week here on Tuesdays I hope you will come by to see them.  I will also be throwing in an occasional Vogart pattern.
This week it does happens to be Vogart pattern 707 I have shared it before but hope you will still like it.  This one is is one of my favorites because of the roses and the little birdy trying to play that violin.  Bless its soul it will never work.

This is my favorite rose and I do hope you enjoy it.   If you stitch it up let me know, I love to see how other choose their colors. 

Come back next Tuesday for a new transfer.
