Way Cool Vintage Needles!!!

Vintage Needles!! Way Cool! My mother-in-law went to Texas to help her Aunt Ruth move into a new place. She brought me back some Susan Bates needles that Aunt Ruth had used. The first pictures is a entire set of straight needles (on the left side of pic)size 0-5. I have never seen that small of regular knitting needles unless they were double pointed, which these are not. On the right side there are sets of double pointed needles and crochet needles. These are totally cool.

I also got some patterns that were published in 1965-1967 the cost was $0.35to a $1.50. There were some pattern's she wrote her self that aren't labeled. I thinking about knitting them up. That way I can take a picture of them and then make a scrapbook page with the original pattern and her picture to preserve them. This women loved to chart thing to. Its cool seeing how things were made way back when. Plus I wish that we could have the price of that time period to.

The next picture is of some items in the original packages that have not been used. Check out the price tags. I love the original Susan Bates logo and pictures. I wonder why they stopped making the needles like that. I am very grateful that my mother-in-law thought of me to give these to. I totally love them and will keep them and pass them on to my daughter or son.

In The Dog House!!

This picture is so cute!! My hubby went to the dog house and got all the way in it!! He actually fit which was shocking because he's 6ft tall. I thought my kids were joking when they said dad's in the dog house! We bought our dog Princess a new dog house. He was trying to get her to get in it. Now I can say go sleep in the dog house!!

In other news I finished the sock I was working on for my niece!! Isn't she cute!! She loves Dora so I dyed some yarn for her and made her a pair of socks. She didn't want to take them off. She is three years old!! Now she say I need more Dora socks . She love when I give her stuff . I need to make her sister a pair next. She will have to pick out her colors though.

Last week we planted 2oo+ trees / shrubs. They are around 18inches apart. See we live near a ball field . So instead of a fence it will be a tree/shrub fence! They are suppose to grow extremely fast. They haven't even been in the ground a week and they already have buds and leaves sprouting. Some are Willow hybrid trees and I'm not quiet sure what the shrubs are. I just now there suppose to get really tall. In the pictures is my in laws, the bother in law and wife, and my husband and children. It was a good thing the rented a digger. The tree's had to be planted a foot down. Maybe this will keep the ball people from driving in our yard or thinking the can play in our yard. Hopefully it might not be so loud too! We'll see though.
