working, working, working.........getting ready for the Algonquin mill festival next week. Of course i am a procrastinator and got in the swing real late. But boy, am i swinging...ALL OVER THE HOUSE. the Ludwig house kinda looks like a war happened in here, well the weapons must have been fabric and paint...add 7 cats in the mix and you've got a disaster area. oh well, it will clean up and i love creating things. I love all the work but i especially love crafting up people, i mean dolls.

it is just HOT....especially when your air conditioner goes poof .....it has been about a week and I have cankles....and my fingers look like Vienna sausages. Fat chicks cannot live without air....so it is shopping for me...and not fun stuff like shoes

(as if they would fit right now)

but a big box with something that will keep me cool. yippee....

Freebie Friday

This is the first Friday Freebie. I am going to try to post something of interest every Friday from now on, right here on the Vintage Macaroni blog.

This one's from a 50s Steubenville Herald Star. Back then, the Clare's Cafe was a big thing. That was when Amsterdam wasn't little more than a ghost town.

Finally the very old doors I bought at a garage sale forever ago have a home. I just love them....kinda like me...old ain't always bad.

so my husband went back to work....it was a fun time having him home for 2 months but back to reality....back to my studio, today the doors are going up and the outside light are to be installed...now Scott's REAL JOB is interfering with my completion plans. since he has gone back to work that means i have to get to work on items for the Algonquin mill.....the fact that it is in mid-October and I am just starting says a lot about how much fun we had together during this lay off.
so last night after he left for work I started working on a collage idea that kept running around in my head all summer.....worked way past my bedtime and boy, this morning i discovered it was the ugliest thing i had ever seen.....so it is back to the drawing board.
