    Lounger getting lost in american graffitti

    You ever seen Two Lane Blacktop? Seems like a movie you would dig too. My mom grew up in the Modesto area in the late 50's/early 60's and said American Graffiti is spot on. My uncle was in a car club back then.

    Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests

    My classic.... 1952 Pontiac Chieftain "deluxe". I bought it because the hood ornament lights up. It's currently awaiting a head to toe fixing up. It was my daily driver for many years and loads of fun to park at the mall ;) My mess around with car.... 1960 Ford Falcon Tudor. This is...

    4-H, anybody in it?

    Horses and rabbits too!....... and dairy goats... and sheep... and swine.... and beef.... and *ducks under chair* veal. I think if it had four legs and fur I raised it at one point or another, LOL. I made a pretty decent "living" as a teenager breeding sheep. I was even a California State...

    Motherhood & the Vintage Lifestyle

    THE Dress - Butterick 4790

    Here are my two. This first was just some fabric I found at Wally World for a buck a yard to make up to check fit, ect...... And then I made this one, which is so much more "me", but not really vintage.....

    Sewing Lessons & FAQ

    I found this Día de los Muertos fabric I loved and wanted to make something out of, so I decided to make another "Walk Away" dress out of it and some plain black cotton. I thought that a whole dress out of it would have maybe been too much? I picked up a couple other Butterick...

    Saddle shoes

    I found the Payless saddle shoes in the store, but I think it was a fluke. Or maybe somebody ordered them online and returned them to the store? I don't go to Payless often though.......

    Sewing Lessons & FAQ

    It's finished and I have learned a lot. I need to slow down, I got too impatient and rushed through and made a few mistakes. I also noticed I was pulling/pushing the fabric instead of letting it feed on it's own. My stitches would probably be straighter if I slowed down as well. But I was in...

    How tall are you, Ladies?

    I am 6'1", 99.9% of the time the tallest lady in any given place. I worked at the San Diego Wild Animal Park when I was a teenager and there was a "tall people dating club" there one night and it tripped me out to see all the women that were as tall, or taller, then me.

    Hair gloss

    Thanks for the replies. I try to by the gloss enhancing products, but most days I just wear my hair natural, (it's stick straight), and don't put anything other then a shine spray on it. My hair is a reddish brown, so I'm not sure what color gloss I should put on it, I think I'll do...
