Victorian Lady Cameo Embroidery Project

I am happy to say my project took a month (with me putting it aside for a while)to complete.

It turned out very well and I have yet to hang it over my bed as I have been admiring her draped over the rocking chair for a day or so now.

Already I have begun stitching a new piece from a thrift store find last week. This time it is a lightly outlined snow skating scene of a couple. I know I have seen a print or something like it before. Maybe when I am finished you can fill in the information about the art.

Performer with the Ziegfeld Follies from 1923 - 27

Okay. So I am at it again. It is 5:45 a.m. and I am miserable with a head cold now for 5 days. My lips are so chapped from breathing through my mouth.

To pass the time, I like to explore flickr.com and thought I would do a search for Ziefeld Follies. I love the pictures of the entertainers, the various sets and style of the photography.

This one is lovely. It has a victorian yet gypsy flair to me.

So, as I continue coughing and my face feels like it weighs a hundred pounds, I hope you are having a better day.

Are you sure this is the way mum?

Follow the yellow brick road to Oz -- where is your Oz?

This is a wonderful photo. The colors are exceptional.

Looks like stormy skies ahead to the Emerald City, but with loved ones the journey can be made.

I am getting excited! Savannah Rose and I are headed to a Ladies' Retreat with some dear friends from Bozeman, MT. We pull out of Great Falls tomorrow headed down the Montana roadways. I hope the Big Sky is full of puffy white cottonball clouds.

Also, I hope my daughter's cold lets up a little later today or off to see the doctor we go.

This Hat

An old lady was standing at the railing of the cruise ship
holding her hat tight so that it would not blow away in the wind.


A gentleman approached her and said,
"Pardon me, madam.
I do not intend to be forward
but did you know that your dress
is blowing up in this high wind?"


"Yes, I know," said the lady.
"I need both my hands
to hold onto this hat."

"But madam, you must know that you are
not wearing any panties
and your privates are exposed!"
said the gentleman in earnest.

The woman looked down,
then back up at the man
and replied,
"Sir, anything you see down there
is 85 years old.
I just bought this hat yesterday!"
