2008 HOUSEWIFE

I think that Michelle underestimates her true 1930's value. I think that the 1930's is easy to glorify now and appear all peachy but i am so happy to be a 2008 full time mum and be in charge at home. We have so much more technology and assistance with our chores, all opening supermarkets and for some the choice as whether to stay at home. There are downsides to our lives in that there is no longer a sense of community in all areas and families are not always available to assist young families but all in all I love 2008 but with the 1930's apron, mixmaster and recipes, YES we can have it all.

1930's average.

45 As a 1930s wife, I am Average Take the test!

average who they calling average?
took this test after finding it on "two little banshees"
thought it would be a bit of a laugh.
i think I'm more of a 1950's sort of girl personally
love the Tupperware, aprons and of course curlers in hair.

packaging?

now I'm really not sure i can call these
just packaging cause they're to darn pretty.
but these are the new bags for the "sisters"
to arrive at there new abodes in.
it came from necessity as i couldn't find anything
that they would fit nicely into.
they are quiet long (42cm)
and any bags etc that you can find tall enough would
fit 3 of them in the width size.
they looked quiet silly swimming about in them
so i used the every fond of screen and made these up.
i will not say "whipped" as it took a lot longer than that.
but i love the result.
now i have only HOW many to make!!!

quilting challenge.

Sharon from patchworkfriends is raising money for our local pre-school
and breast cancer by having a "quilts for a cure" competition
and exhibition at our RSL hall in october.
with 3 sections for quilts along with a
small items sections for cushions dolls etc.
yah thats sound like my kind of section.
you have to make your item from 70 %
of quest for a cure fabric so thats why
my new little royal is sporting pants.
very 50's i think.
not quiet sure if i'm going to stick with the
pink button i might change it to burgundy yet.
oh how i love burgundy.

L'il Royal Jane's

" Two Little Royals "

This is the tale of Michael and Jane,

two little royals who loved to play games.

They looked alike but not quiet the same,

as you may tell by the sound of their names.

Michael a knight, Jane a fair maiden,

rescuing lands from dragons invading.

Happy and after and ever and more,

adventures abound, never a bore.

Stars come out rest your heads,

nannies here it's time for bed.

Read us a book nanny we'll be good,

the one about the prince who was turned into wood.

As pages turn and pictures missed,

it all ended happily with a princesses kiss.

Tuck the blankets now snuggle up tight,

fairy tale dreams throughout the night.

Goodnight Michael, Goodnight Jane,

see you in the morning for more of the same.

Here are our L'il Royal Janes, they are beautifully screen printed and backed in fabric that will delight the royal in your life. They will be up in the shop by Monday and be sure to check the blog on Monday when our new product will be shown and some exciting news for our readers,
Have a great weekend and Happy 4th of July to our American readers.
