So. Is it Day 3, because it’s the third time I posted? Or is it Day 11 because it’s 8 days since I posted last? I’m not so sure about this blogging thing today. How did I let a whole week slip by?
My mom has been having birthday parties this week; she was 89 on Monday. Last night the old craft group got together for cake, coffee and gifts. This is the group that used to meet on Tuesday evenings, and held a home show at Christmas for over 20 years until we all “retired” a while back. (Well, retired is a relative term.) The Misses Staggs, Muth and Quarterman were there, in addition to the birthday girl and yours truly, and we talked mail art and blogging, among other things.
Here’s a picture of the postcard I made for the MailMania2 Mail Art Show at the Victoria College of Art. Everyone at the June Mail Art Party in the studio made something for that call, and they’ll be on my website in a new Mail Art gallery sometime this weekend.
I haven’t forgotten that I said I’d post a picture of my latest treasure find, but I haven’t managed to get it and the camera together. I’ll tell you what it is: a little toy sewing machine from, I’m guessing, the fifties. It works via a hand crank..and it’s pink! And it was in a very nice pink sewing basket to boot.
See you soon

….and a very good time was had by all! Both at the birthday party and the Mail Art party.
Wow, this scanned really well. I like it very much. I don’t remember the Mania being on it at the party though. How’d I miss that? And you signed it, I didn’t remember to do that either. I think you got it right when you referred to me as “Old” Faithful! LOL!
I am one of the few who has seen the sewing machine and can indeed confirm that it is very cool…especially the color!
Loved your comment in Merryville today…I remember the show but not the choir. So funny!
Wow, I really like your mail art. Happy Bday to your Mom. 89 is something very special. Sounds like she is still going strong. You probably don’t know, but I have two of her collage cards hanging in my living room…A yard sale lady and a gardening lady. I love them! (thank you Mrs. Staggs)
